The Florida Gators visit Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Arkansas on Wednesday to play the Arkansas Razorbacks in an SEC tilt. The Gators dropped to 8-5 on the season following a 71-69 loss to South Carolina on Saturday. The Gators lost after Felipe Haase from the Gamecocks threw a full-court pass to Chris Silva who rose up caught the ball and then dunked the ball as time expired.

Arkansas will take this game outright on its home court, but the Gators will keep it close enough to cover. Florida has covered the number in 4 of the last 5 against Arkansas and each of the last 4 played at Arkansas.
