at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center located on the University of Florida campus. Since the 1950s, the men's basketball team has earned several championships, including conference championships, and played in the NCAA Final Four. During the school's reign as a prominent college basketball team in the SEC conference, several former Gators have gone on to play in the NBA, and the school has also had two former team members named as the SEC Player of the Year. The University of Florida Gators has significant rivalries with fellow southern Florida college Florida State and with the Kentucky Wildcats. Both teams are members of the SEC conference. In years past, SEC fans were accustomed to watching the two teams fight it out on the court as they dominated the conference, which created the fierce rivalry.
