Florida vs. Kentucky, Game Thread: Can Gators make a last stand against ‘Cats?
On this second meeting of the 2022-23 season, the Florida Gators and Kentucky Wildcats are even more like ships passing in the night than they were in early February.
Back then, the Gators were scratching and clawing — Colin Castleton doing this more than most — for NCAA Tournament footing. Losing at Rupp Arena, even with Castleton putting on one of his best performances, made that footing essentially too sandy to stand on, and Florida’s play since — even in games with Castleton around — has made making the field of 68 a pipe dream.
