The Kentucky Wildcats have now won six straight Southeastern Conference games. Things got a little close for comfort down the stretch, but the ‘Cats held on to beat the Florida Gators 72-67 on Saturday night at Rupp Arena. Kentucky now finds themselves 16-7 overall and 7-3 in the SEC as they climb the league standings. Meanwhile, the Gators fell to 13-10, 6-4 with the loss. The Wildcats will return to action on Tuesday night with a big game in Lexington against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
If you told Big Blue Nation that Oscar Tshiebwe and Antonio Reeves would combine for just eight points, most would have expected a loss on Saturday night.
