Through Kentucky’s improvement, there is one thing that has been missing, a controlled win. While Florida made some runs, the Wildcats earned such a victory on Saturday in a wire-to-wire win over the Gators.
After starting 1-3 in the conference, Kentucky is now on a six-game SEC win streak and is tied with Auburn for third in the conference (note: two-way tie for second between Tennessee and Texas A&M). In that stretch, John Calipari’s motto to his team has been, ‘win the day,’ and that is precisely what they have done.
The Wildcats are not overpowering their opponents but are building upon each performance, and they will hope to do the same on Tuesday at home against a tough Arkansas team.
