Finally, 31 years of misery has come to an end.
However, it looked like that misery would extend to 32 at various points during Kentucky’s triumph over the Florida Gators.
Despite being clearly the better team in the first half, Kentucky made too many mistakes and essentially handed a 10-7 lead to Florida at halftime. Two critical turnovers led to the Cats blowing a chance to take command of the game going into the break.
Thankfully, they still ended up doing just that in the second half, building a 21-10 lead they would maintain going into the final minutes.
