The Florida Gators left the court with boos filling Rupp Arena on Saturday night as they succeeded in what has nearly become an impossible task—beating the Kentucky Wildcats at home.
It had been 57 games since an unranked team defeated the Wildcats on their home court, and 30 games since an SEC opponent had done so. Florida ended both of those streaks in one clean swoop.
Well, clean might not exactly be the word. It was ugly, but the Gators got it done.
From the very beginning, the game seemed like it would be an endless back and forth, and it did not disappoint in that regard.
