I've watched some UK basketball this season. I was actually a student at UK during the Rupp years in '65 and '66, before I got drafted by Uncle Sam. Returned to college at UF, did my BS and MS work there and became a Gator. After graduation I moved to Tallahassee, married a seminole and those events drove me deeper into the Swamp.
Regarding the game, this is a game the Gators can win. the kittens quickley seems to match up well with Locke; but we may not have the athleticism to deal with montgomery or richards unless Jitoboh breaks out again and dominates the paint. If the Gators can handle hagans and maxey, play diligently for 40 minutes (no dumb passes) and rain 3's; we can win this game. We are playing better, but both teams are heavy with freshman and sophomores so the most inconsistent team will struggle.
Thinking positively, we still have an opportunity to win out and take over the division lead especially if we start this week and bust up the log jam for 2nd place in our division.
