GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The University of Florida (UF) and the University of North Florida (UNF) have agreed to postpone Wednesday night s basketball game, according to the website for the Florida Gators team.
They cited the circumstances following Keyontae Johnson s collapse over the weekend as the reason. During Saturday s game against Florida State, the star player collapsed. He has been transferred from Tallahassee Memorial to UF Health in Gainesville but remains in critical but stable condition.
This weekend is another addition of the Sunshine Showdown, except on the basketball court as the Florida Gators take on rival Florida State who has won six straight meetings between the two teams.
The Gators come into the matchup at 3-0 on the road against No. 20 Florida State who beat Indiana in overtime on Wednesday. After COVID-19 issues delayed Florida’s start to the season, the Gators have showcased some solid, clean basketball and sit right outside the top 25. They’ll have an opportunity to show where they are as a team against a rival who they’ve struggled with over the past few years.
