The University of Florida will delay the start of its men’s basketball season due to COVID-19 concerns.
That break will wipe out games at the Mohegan Sun tournament in Uncasville, Conn. against UMass Lowell and Virginia. If those COVID-19 issues subside, Florida would be able to play its third game of the season on Dec. 2 at Oklahoma. Florida’s home opener is Dec. 6 against Stetson.
