Florida vs. Kentucky Men: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats

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.

How to watch Florida vs. Kentucky, TV channel and streaming

Florida vs. Kentucky will be broadcast on ESPN, which can be viewed through cable TV or streamed via live TV streaming apps such as YouTubeTV or FuboTV.
