JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Interstat) — An undefeated Miami squad will face a Florida team riding high from a rivalry win when the in-state programs meet in the Jacksonville Hoops Showdown on Sunday, Nov. 16, 2025.

The Hurricanes (3-0) have opened the season with dominant, high-scoring performances, averaging 96.3 points per game. They are coming off a 102-61 rout of Stetson on Monday, where Tre Donaldson recorded a double-double with 15 points and 10 assists, while Malik Reneau added 22 points.

The Gators (2-1) are looking to build momentum after a tight 78-76 victory over Florida State on Tuesday. Thomas Haugh led the way with 20 points, and freshman Boogie Fland added 18. Florida’s lone loss came against then-Arizona, 93-87, to open the season.

This neutral-site game at Jacksonville’s VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena offers a key early-season test for both teams. Miami’s high-powered offense will be challenged by a Florida team that has shown resilience. The Gators will rely on their balanced attack, while the Hurricanes will look to their backcourt of Donaldson and Tru Washington, who scored 17 against Stetson, to maintain their perfect start.
