The Florida Gators (3-0) return home to host the Merrimack Warriors (1-2) inside the O'Connell Center on Friday night. If you want to watch the college basketball action on TV or live stream, we have everything you need to know just below.
Todd Golden's gang enters the matchup ranked first in both the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll and AP Top 25, as well as the power rankings issued by The Athletic, CBS Sports and ESPN. The Gators are also the top team in the Basketball Power Index and Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings, and are the top overall seed in ESPN's latest bracketology.
Merrimack, a member of the Metro Conference, is nowhere to be found in all of the polls and power rankings, while ranked No. 254 in the BPI and No. 263 in KenPom. ESPN's
bracketology has the Warriors listed as a No. 16 seed in the East Region — a seed shared with American — and lined up to face UF in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Florida and Merrimack have faced off just twice before on the collegiate parquet — both times in Gainesville. The first meeting came in 2023, when the Gators prevailed, 77-57; the second was in 2025, when the Orange and Blue throttled the Warriors, 80-45.
