When ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said that, in the past, observers would call games like the one that happened on Saturday night between the Florida Gators and Kentucky Wildcats a “rock fight,” he was wrong.
He was understating it.
But the way Florida won that game — by a 66-64 count, after bricking a free throw, after allowing the third and fourth threes of Kentucky’s evening in the 40th minute of play — proves these Gators can get ugly and get dubs.
Florida’s own shooting from deep, on a 6-for-30 night, was worse than Kentucky’s.
