SAN DIEGO-- The No. 10 Florida Gators are riding high with a four-game win streak heading into a multi-team event with the Rady Children's Invitational.

First up is TCU on Thursday before playing either Wisconsin or Providence on Friday.

"We liked the idea of going out west," head coach Todd Golden said about scheduling this event. "When we initially signed up for this event, Kansas was in it. They're no longer in it, so that's a negative. But TCU, Wisconsin, Providence... is a good field. Both of these games will be Quad 2 or better. It just so happened that this opportunity was in San Diego this year."

The event also begins a tough non-conference stretch for the Gators with a trip to No. 4 Duke for the ACC/SEC Challenge on Dec. 2, a neutral-site battle with No. 5 UConn in New York City on Dec. 9 for the Jimmy V Classic and a game against George Washington in Sunrise, Fla., on Dec. 13 in the Orange Bowl Classic.

"We're kind of through the first part of our schedule," Golden said. "And now, you know, with this MTE (multi-team event) and then two really, really challenging non-conference games leading into another one I think it is going to be a really underrated opportunity for us playing George Washington--it's just a real stretch.

"It's kind of an opportunity for us to prepare for conference play, where you're going to see really good opponents back to back to back."
