1 week off to prepare for the Gators, but they also have the week off to prepare for us.
They are one of the few teams in the country that can score similarly to us (UF averages 86 PPG).
They run like crazy, their tempo is very similar to ours.
They only shoot 33% 3FG, but shoot 47% overall and generate a ton of possessions.
5 guys averaging double figures.
Their 3 losses are against Baylor (by 4 points), Virginia (3 points) and Wake Forest (11 points).
ESPN predictor gives Florida a 62% chance to win, and Kentucky only a 38% chance to win, which is surprising but maybe it's accurate.
First true road environment we will face, the O'Dome is already sold out and will be ROWDY.
Quad 1 opportunity.
I'm a little surprised to see that Florida (9-3) is not even receiving votes in the AP or Coaches polls.
Needless to say I think this is a must-win to start league play and earn a big Q1 win, but I'm nervous about this one for sure.
What does everyone think going into this game?
