College Gameday is in town and Lexington has been filled with a basketball buzz that hasn’t really been felt so far this season. The Florida Gators have been hot as a pistol lately, having won seven of their last eight games. Second to only the great Duke-North Carolina rivalry, these Kentucky vs Florida match ups are one of the most popular choices for College Gameday.
Sitting at 13-5, as well as 5-1 in the Southeastern Conference, the Gators looked like a team with Final Four potential in the first part of the season. However, losing a double-digit lead late in the game to Duke, followed by two more losses in a row to Florida State and Loyola-Chicago, have knocked Florida out of the top 25 rankings.
