Florida Gators Men's Basketball History
The first tip-off for the Gators was in 1905, when C.J. McCoy was head coach of both the men's basketball and football programs at the school. The University of Florida was a founding member of the Southeastern Conference in 1932. It wasn't until Florida built their current indoor sports facility, the O'Connell Center, in 1980, that the Gators played in their first NCAA tournament, in 1987.
Norm Sloan became the Gators' first full-time basketball coach in 1960 and made the team competitive for the first time since its founding. After six years, Sloan left the school but he returned in 1980 when the O'Connell Center opened. They made a run to the Sweet Sixteen during the school’s first NCAA tournament appearance in 1987.
The current head coach of the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder, Billy Donovan, coached the Gators from 1996 to 2015, and brought the program to new heights. He guided them to four Final Four appearances and two NCAA championships, in 2006 and 2007. Under Donovan, the Gators made seven straight NCAA tournaments starting in 1999.
More than two dozen Florida Gators — seven of whom are currently in the NBA — have gone on to become professional basketball players, including several NBA champions. These include three-time champion Udonis Haslem, Matt Bonner, Corey Brewer, David Lee, Marreese Speights and five-time All-Star Al Horford. The Gators have a long-running in-state rivalry with the Florida State Seminoles, and their annual contest is the only out-of-conference game for both of the two oldest college teams in the state.

by Dee on 2/27/24Exactech Arena at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center - GainesvilleBack on campus and it was a great day. So fun….great game…..??????’72 grad
Rating: 4 out of 5 Good experience except for sound volume
by Lori on 2/24/24Does no one in charge of basketball game day experience realize that we can not understand commentary by Sean and Lee when volume is so high? Reverb makes voices muddled. I understand desire to make environment loud and rowdy, but save that for the game.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Review from an old pro
by Rickthestick on 2/16/24Exactech Arena at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center - GainesvilleParking as per usual was difficult .. too few spaces and not nearly enough for handicapped .. food acces was ok but prices are ridiculous and raising a hot dog mid season from 6 to 7 bucks was ridiculous .. nice gifts for supposedly only the kids but later arrival adults received them .. the tosses to kids a good idea but one negro gentleman basically handed them directly only to black kids .. I’m not sure you want a game review but Golden’s tactics with a big lead won’t fly long term .. I’m a fan but also happened to play professional in the pros for 11 .. go gators
Rating: 5 out of 5 An excellent experience

Rating: 4 out of 5 Nice seats...but had obstructed views
by Sam S on 1/2/24Exactech Arena at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center - GainesvilleHad a nice time with my son at the most recent UF basketball game. However, seats were obstructed by hand rails (was not noted on the tickets we purchased). If I had known the seats had this view - I would've tried to find another set of seats. The game was great from the atmosphere to the food items.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great family fun!
