Florida’s 2013-14 men’s non-conference basketball schedule is now officially set.

The Gators will face Fresno State in the MetroPCS Orange Bowl Classic on Dec. 21 in Sunrise. For Fresno State, it’s 2,400-mile road trip. The Bulldogs have a rich basketball tradition (they were once coached by Jerry Tarkanian), but finished just 11-19 last season and 0-3 against ranked teams.

Florida State and Massachusetts will play the first game of the doubleheader, followed by Florida vs. Fresno State. Start times are to be determined.

Here’s a look at UF’s 2013-14 non-conference schedule:

– Nov. 8, North Florida, tbd, 226 RPI

– Nov. 12, at Wisconsin, 9 p.m., ESPN2, 31 RPI

– Nov. 16, Arkansas-Little Rock, 174 RPI

– Nov. 18, Southern, 172 RPI

– Nov. 21, Middle Tennessee State, 33 RPI

– Nov. 25, at Jacksonville, 277 RPI

– Nov. 29, Florida State, 93 RPI

– Dec. 2, at Connecticut, 47 RPI

– Dec. 10, Kansas, 9 p.m., ESPN, 5 RPI

– Dec. 17, Memphis, Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden, New York City, 14 RPI

– Dec. 21, Fresno State, Orange Bowl Classic, Sunrise, 146 RPI

– Dec. 29, Savannah State, 168 RPI

– Jan. 4, Richmond, 90 RPI

The schedule includes five teams that made the NCAA Tournament last season (Wisconsin, Memphis, Southern, Kansas and Middle Tennessee State).  Of Florida’s 13 non-conference opponents, five finished last season in the RPI Top 50 and seven finished in the RPI Top 100.
