The Florida Gators look to rebound from their season-opening loss to the Arizona Wildcats on Monday with an in-state matchup against the North Florida Ospreys on Thursday night inside the O’Connell Center.
If you want to catch the men’s college basketball action on TV or live stream, we have everything you need to know just below.
The Orange and Blue’s title defense started on a sour note, but there are still plenty of games remaining on the schedule to secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Florida has never lost to UNF on the collegiate parquet, winning all previous 11 meetings dating back to 2006.
Thursday night’s game represents the Ospreys’ first of the 2025-26 campaign. They finished 15-17 last season, along with an 8-10 record in Atlantic Sun Conference play.

Stream Florida vs. UNFFlorida vs. UNF prediction, pick
The Gators may have dropped their season opener, but they lost to a team that should make a deep run in the tournament this coming March. The Ospreys are not even in the same arena as the Wildcats, and we will see exactly why on Thursday night.
If this game is even slightly close, there might be reasonable concerns about how well this roster is gelling after reloading during the offseason. It will not be very close and Olivier Rioux makes his collegiate debut to a raucous crowd inside the O’Dome.
PREDICTION: Florida 89, UNF 63
