Kentucky is in danger of watching a season with so much promise slip away unless the Cats can take care of the Gators in Rupp today
That will be no easy take though as Florida comes into this game on the uptick having won four of five and have climbed back into national relevance.
Heck, they'll pass UK in the SEC standings and possibly sneak into the top 25 with a win this weekend, but this is a game the Cats must have to keep their season from coming off the rails.
Tweet(s) of the Day:
