In a game that was an absolute battle from the opening tip right until the final play, the Florida Gators were able to hold on for an incredible win over the home Kentucky Wildcats by a score of 66-64. Kentucky had the final possession of the game to try to send the game to overtime or win on a three point shot but three stellar defensive plays consecutively sealed the win for the Gators. First, Egor Koulechov was able to get a block rotating over to save a layup. After the following inbounds Jalen Hudson had a game saving block of his own, forcing the ball out with less then three seconds on the clock.
