Florida’s quest to make the 2022 NCAA Tournament will either get an enormous boost or take a tremendous hit this Saturday. Those are the consequences of the two outcomes — a win or a loss against mighty Kentucky — available to the Gators on Senior Day.
And, surely, every Gator who will be on the floor knows that, including the six who will be honored as seniors and suit up — and the one, Keyontae Johnson, who would surely love nothing more than to do so, but cannot.
Florida has already conducted one successful big game hunt in a contest like this, downing Auburn two weeks ago thanks mostly to stifling defense and some timely shooting.
