.TONIGHT

No. 14 Florida at Alabama

When/where: 7; Coleman Coliseum, Tuscaloosa, Ala.

TV/radio: ESPN; 620-AM

Records: Florida 19-6, 7-3 SEC; Alabama 16-8, 5-5

Notable: The Gators, who went 0-2 last week, try to rebound at a place where they have won three in a row. UF plays four of the next five on the road. … Over the weekend, Alabama (and former Gator assistant) coach Anthony Grant suspended three players for violation of team rules: F JaMychal Green, F Trevor Releford and G Andrew Steele. Releford and Steele will reportedly be reinstated tonight, but Green and Tony Mitchell (who was suspended earlier) remain out. Green and Mitchell lead the Tide in scoring and rebounding. … Florida coach Billy Donovan, who will be without two key backups in F Will Yeguete (concussion) and G Mike Rosario (hip pointer), said the Gators are preparing for the full Tide team.
