Everything you need to know to follow Florida basketball at Kentucky

Though the ‘Cats are a very slight favorite in this game, the Gators need to come out and assert dominance over their floundering SEC foe. 

Only three games remain on Florida basketball’s regular-season schedule, starting with the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday in Lexington. While UF has solid footing when it comes to making the NCAA Tournament next month, UK currently sits on the bubble after a very uncharacteristic season from John Calipari’s squad.

The Gators have won two of their last three after a 13-day layoff due to COVID protocols, solidifying their case for postseason seeding but they cannot afford to lose any more heading into March. Though the ‘Cats are a very slight favorite in this game, the Gators need to come out and assert dominance over their floundering SEC foe.

Tipoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. EST in Rupp Arena, Lexington, Kentucky, and will be broadcast on CBS Sports, livestreamed on the CBS Sports app and can be heard on the Gators Sports Network.
