GAINESVILLE, Florida (Ticker) - Top-ranked Florida seeks its sixth consecutive victory over Jacksonville in a non-conference matchup Thursday.

Florida upped its winning streak against in-state competition to seven following an 86-40 victory over North Florida on Tuesday. Al Horford collected 17 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks and Joakim Noah added 15 and 10 for the Gators, who shot 54 percent (36-of-67) from the floor.

Jacksonville bounced back from a season-opening loss to post a 77-73 win over St. Leo on Tuesday. Marcus Allen scored 20 points, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked six shots.

Jesse Kimbrough added 16 points and four steals for the Dolphins, who forced 20 turnovers.
