GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The University of Florida is welcoming all UF students and Gator fans to the Stephen C. O’Connell Center on Monday evening for a watch party as the men’s basketball team competes in the NCAA Championship game against Houston.
The title game tips off at 8:50 p.m. (ET) from the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, and fans in Gainesville can enjoy the action together inside Exactech Arena free of charge.
