The Florida Gator men's basketball team tried to one-up last year's difficult schedule with a similar grueling gauntlet for the 2012-13 season. Not counting conference opponents, the Gators will have five games against 2012 NCAA Tournament teams (Georgetown, Wisconsin, Marquette, Florida State, and Kansas State). Head coach Billy Donovan called it as challenging of a non-conference schedule Florida's had since his tenure. The schedule is listed below, and game times will be announced at a later date.
