ESPN Insider has ranked the non-conference basketball schedules for 2014-15, and analyst Jeff Goodman has Florida's as the nation's toughest non-conference slate. Florida will play host to Connecticut, Miami, Yale, William & Mary, Louisiana-Monroe, Texas Southern and Jacksonville. The Gators will meet Georgetown, Wisconsin/UAB and one other quality opponent in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas while also taking on Wake Forest at a neutral site. And finally, Florida will travel to Kansas and Florida State.

The schedule is rigorous, without many "gimme" games for a young team that still has a long way to go to get where Billy Donovan wants.
