The Kentucky Wildcats came out hot and got up to a 10 point lead in the first half before ultimately falling 71-67 to the Florida Gators. The loss ended Kentucky’s three-game winning streak and sends them into the final week desperate for a couple more wins and some time to improve.
Kentucky was led in scoring by Davion Mintz with 21 points, while the Cats also got contributions from BJ Boston (13), Jackson (11) and Jacob Toppin (11). The Wildcats created offensively by picking up the pace and getting into the paint, but could not score enough to account for their turnovers.
