Oscar Tshiebwe carries Kentucky past Florida: 4 things to know and postgame cheers

The Kentucky Wildcats completed their season sweep of the Florida Gators on Saturday afternoon by winning in Gainesville 71-63.

The Cats got off to a quick start as Kentucky brought their A game in the first half. Kentucky led by as much as 16 and went into the break with a 38-26 lead. Of course, the offense was good, but the defensive effort was nice to see after the last few games.

After the break, the offense stayed hot and UK showed their potential—potential to be the best team in the country. They did struggle to close out the game a bit, but this team clearly has the ability to make a very deep NCAA Tournament run if they have better injury luck.
