PLAYING AT TAMPA’S AMALIE ARENA NOVEMBER 21

TAMPA, FL – The University of Florida Gators and Belmont University Bruins will square off in Tampa’s AMALIE Arena on Monday, November 21, 2016. This will be Florida’s first visit to the arena since 2012. Belmont posted a 20-12 record last season and won the Ohio Valley Conference regular season title with a 12-4 league record. Television broadcast information and start time are forthcoming.

 

While the Gators’ home is undergoing a $64.5 million renovation that will turn Exactech Arena at the Stephen C. O’Connell Center into essentially a brand new arena, the Gators are on the road for the bulk of their non-conference schedule. The game in Tampa is the team’s 4th game of the regular season.
