Florida and Butler have announced a new home-and-home series between the two schools, which will begin during the 2018-19 season.
The Gators will welcome LaVall Jordan’s Bulldogs to Gainesville next season, and Florida will travel to Hinkle Fieldhouse for the matchup during the 2019-20 season.
The series apparently came about via Twitter, as Jordan reached out to White via a tweet on Monday.
Hey @MikeWhiteUF, congrats on a great season. Dawgs are looking for a home-and-home. Gators interested?

White was quick to respond and officially accepted the offer to start the series with the Bulldogs.
Coach, I like it! Let’s get the Bulldogs down to Gainesville this season & the Gators can visit Hinkle in 2019-20. https://t.co/Q966KBi2Xi

In addition to the home tilt against Butler, White’s team will also host Big Ten power Michigan State in the ’18-19 campaign.
