Kentucky warms up for regular-season finale at Florida
Kentucky men’s basketball drops the curtain on its regular season with a trip to the O’Connell Center to face SEC rival Florida in a noon game on CBS.
John Calipari’s Wildcats are 21-9 overall and 10-7 in the SEC thanks to a four-game win streak. The Cats outscored visiting Ole Miss 96-78 on Wednesday at Rupp Arena. Mike White’s Gators are also 10-7 in the conference. (Arkansas is also 10-7.) Florida is 19-11 overall and has won two straight, including a 73-52 thumping of Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Tuesday.
Florida won the first meeting between the two teams, 66-64, back on Jan. 20 in Lexington. Here were my three takeaways from that game.
