Florida vs. Kentucky Men: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats
Rusty Gorelick
A big day of SEC men's hoops on Saturday begins with the No. 6 Florida Gators (13-0) visit the No. 10 Kentucky Wildcats (11-2).
Florida is undefeated, but it has yet to face a ranked opponent. It's biggest challenge so far was a 90-84 win over unranked North Carolina, and the Gators begin the SEC gauntlet with three straight games against ranked teams starting with this one against Kentucky.
The Wildcats have faced a much tougher schedule. Their losses were both upsets against Ohio State and Clemson, but they have beaten then-No. 7 Gonzaga and then-No. 6 Duke already in head coach Mark Pope's first season.
