Kentucky 76, Florida 58: Gators mauled by resurgent Wildcats

The Florida Gators came out hot against the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday in Gainesville, leading 5-0, 7-2, and 10-5 in the very early goings of their SEC showdown.

Then a net came loose, leading to an extended delay of play.

And after it, the Wildcats attacked with a ferocity Florida ultimately couldn’t handle.

Kentucky slowly built a first-half lead that would stand at eight points at intermission, then peeled off separate 10-0 and 13-0 runs in the second half to blow out the Gators, 76-58, in a game not nearly as close as its score.
