There were plenty of reasons why Florida posted its largest margin of victory against Kentucky in school history.
Who: No. 24 Florida (18-5, 8-2) vs. Georgia (13-10, 4-6)
When: 7 p.m.
Where: Stegeman Coliseum, Athens, Ga.
TV: ESPN2
Radio: 103.7-FM
But an early factor in No. 24 Florida’s 88-66 win over No. 8 Kentucky on Saturday night at Exactech Arena/O’Connell Center was how well the Gators protected the rim.
Florida didn’t concede any easy inside baskets to the Wildcats, blocking five shots in the first half and altering others.
