Gators Host Morehead State on Monday at 7 p.m.
Sunday, November 26, 2006 | Women's Basketball
The Gators return to the friendly confines of the O'Connell Center to play host to Morehead State on Monday evening beginning at 7 p.m.
Both of UF's wins this season have come on its home court, where the Gators have enjoyed a 27.5 average margin of victory.
This is the first-ever meeting between Florida and Morehead State. The Gators are 5-3 all-time versus teams from the Ohio Valley Conference, but this is the first challenge against the league under head coach Carolyn Peck.
Entering Monday's outing, the Gators have won 13 consecutive non-conference home games, a streak dating back to a 79-77 overtime loss to Richmond on Dec. 21, 2004.
Ladies Day
Monday is the Gator's first home game this season that is not a double-header with UF's men's team. Each of UF's first two regular season games and the lone exhibition outing were part of a double-header.
Fan Appreciation Day
Head coach Carolyn Peck and all 12 Gator players will be available to fans for autographs following Monday's game.
Monday is 'Dollar Night'
All General Admission tickets cost just $1 ... and select concession items sell for $1.
Familiar Face
Morehead State head coach Matthew Mitchell was an assistant coach at Florida from the 2000-01 season through the 2002-03 campaign, helping the Gators to a 51-36 record and a pair of NCAA appearances. During his three-year tenure at UF, Mitchell served under both Carol Ross and Carolyn Peck before assuming a similar post at Kentucky - where former Gator head coach Mickie DeMoss runs the Wildcats.
