In their final regular season game of the year the Gators fell behind early and were never able to catch up, ultimately losing to the Kentucky Wildcats by a score of 71-63. With 7 minutes remaining the Wildcats were well in control leading the Gators by 14 but Florida clawed their way back to pull the game within 6 with 53 seconds left. A Phlandrous Fleming three-point attempt was Florida’s last opportunity to make it a game but it missed and the Wildcats held on for the win. With the loss the Gators finish 9-9 in the SEC and will await to see their seed in next week’s SEC Tournament based on the results from a few games still to be played on Saturday.
