    So-called “secret scrimmages” that take place before the college basketball season tips off aren’t as secret as they once were and what used to be closed-door exhibitions are now often even televised. These games are opportunities for teams to gel and players to get comfortable in their new surroundings and can be a huge part of a program’s developmental process.

    Thanks for linking this @ETGator and thanks for the knowledge @Efawcett7. Interesting to note the opponents and that the Gators will travel for one of the scrimmages. For others like me who may have forgotten or not paid attention, it's interesting to note that Osayi Osifo and Omar Payne will play for Jacksonville this year.

    Two good scrimmages for the Gators. I particularly like that we're open to playing a road game against a decent squad.

    Jacksonville will be better than they have for quite some time.

    But not as good as the Artis Gilmore years unless they can get a new Artis.

    The scrimmage with Miami is supposed to be today. Anybody know the time of the scrimmage? Will we get report on it?

    Ok so it's secret but come on man we need INFO! If nothing else UF marketing should be teasing us.

    Gators led at the half 39-35. They apparently lost the game.

    I would imagine CTG played different lineups in the second half to see what he has to work with and on.

    It is a freaking scrimmage. Winning is nice but not essential.

    I reckon they can scrimmage at JU and then scoot over to the football game.
