Kentucky basketball’s offense dazed and confused by Gator zone

The Kentucky basketball offense was running, shooting, and scoring in transition for 10 minutes until Florida switched to a zone defense and sent the Wildcats into a state of confusion. The end result was a classic failure to finish and all too common 71-67 loss.

With the loss, Kentucky (8-14, 7-8) is guaranteed a losing record in home games this season. The last time the Wildcats had a losing record in home games was in 1926-27 when they were 2-8 at Alumni Gymnasium.
