Florida is meeting Texas A&M on the hardwood for the second time this month. The first one featured a mishap at the beginning of the game you just don’t see every day.
The Aggies forgot their uniforms at the team hotel. They warmed up in practice uniforms, then once the mistake was realized, a staffer had to return to the hotel to retrieve the uniforms, forcing a delay in the game’s tipoff. Florida got a one-shot technical because of the delay, and the game opened with a 1-0 Florida lead on the scoreboard.
With the Gators in College Station Wednesday night, the program’s social team had a little fun at the Aggies’ expense.

Florida got its jokes off, but the Gators are hoping for a win.
The first meeting in Gainesville went to the Aggies. A&M blew an 11-point halftime lead, but held on for a 66-63 win. Wade Taylor IV got a floater to fall with 42 seconds left to put the Aggies up by 2, then Tyrese Radford drew a charge against Florida’s Trey Bonham with 7 seconds to go to help seal the win.
