In what would turn out to be the final game of the 2019-20 men’s basketball season for the Kentucky Wildcats against the Florida Gators back in early March, the Cats held the Gators to just nine points over the final 8:18 of the contest to pull off the biggest comeback of the John Calipari era in Lexington without Ashton Hagans to ride into the SEC Tournament as the No. 1 seed on a high note.
Unfortunately for the Cats, and virtually everyone in a collegiate season at the time, had their campaigns ended due to the COVID-19 pandemic over the course of the next week, but what transpired in the following months was much more important than the aspirations of cutting down the nets in Atlanta.
