Sitting on the proverbial NCAA bubble, this afternoon Florida visits Kentucky to close each team’s regular season.
Following consecutive losses, including a 61-55 setback at Georgia, Florida is still projected to earn razor-thin NCAA Tournament entrance.
However, one would assume if Kentucky beats Florida, then Florida’s March Madness chances all but fade.
With that in mind, expect an intense Gators effort vs. perennial powerhouse UK.

But if recent trends hold, even with their A-game intact today, Michael White’s men are likely in over their heads. On Feb. 2 the visiting Wildcats dispatched Florida 65-54.
Tyler Herro’s 19 points led all scorers as Kentucky held the Gators to 34% FG on that early-Feb. evening.
Florida Gators
With tournament hopes at stake, Florida May have spent its last best efforts Wednesday in a deflating 68-67 OT loss vs. LSU.
Senior Jalen Hudson’s career-high 33 point outburst wasn’t enough as LSU’s balanced scoring, led by Tremont Water’s (19), placed Florida on the brink.

After such a draining defeat, it’s hard to imagine the Gators can muster another stand vs. elite competition.
Though if they can, Florida’s leading scorer KeVaughn Allen (12.2) must elevate his team’s subpar offense (68.7) as the Gator’s #20 defense (63.7) shines.
Barring a deep SEC tournament run, it’s all-or-nothing this afternoon for Florida’s 18-19’ season.
Kentucky Wildcats
After extinguishing Arkansas and Ole Miss’ slim NCAA tournament hopes, today UK could become the SEC’s March Madness gatekeeper with a win over Florida.
Tuesday, Keldon Johnson (22) and Herro (20) overmatched desperate Ole Miss 80-76.
These recent high-stakes contests have given UK’s young core a crash course primer before conference tournament play begins.
That stated, the Wildcats won’t be phased by Florida’s hunger.
