KSR host Matt Jones went on the air after the game to talk about some individual performances from Kentucky basketball’s 72-67 win over the Floirda Gators.
And just like that, six straight wins in the Southeastern Conference for Kentucky, this time a five-point home victory over Florida inside Rupp Arena.
Two teams known for their slow starts, it was the Gators falling short in that area on Saturday, allowing the Wildcats to jump out to an 8-2 lead in the first five minutes. UK was able to extend that lead to as many as 13 points in the first half with 6:11 to go before going into the break up 11.
Florida fought back in the second half thanks to some defensive slip-ups and a cold offensive start for Kentucky, cutting the lead down to four less than five minutes in. The Wildcats pushed it back to 12 a little over three minutes later and extended it to as many as 14 with 8:19 to go. Again, a response from the Gators, slowly chipping away at the lead until they managed to cut it to just three with 38 seconds to go thanks to a 3-point prayer from guard Myreon Jones.

I am surprised UK won. Close games have to be a no. UK does move the ball well. Dribble, dribble, until shot clock is under 10 sec.
Cats looking good right now. Winning 6 of last 7. They may have found themselves
