As of Friday morning, the Florida Gators sit just barely outside of the projected 2022 NCAA Tournament bracket, according to ESPN’s Joe Lunardi. UF is considered one of the “Next Four Out” and will be in must-win mode the rest of the way. Which means that Saturday’s home matchup against No. 7 Kentucky will be the most important of the year for the Gators.
The contest will be just another Super Bowl for the Wildcats, which has played at least a dozen of them already this season. Florida is 19-11 on the season with a 9-8 record in the SEC.
