What to Expect


This matchup features two of the SEC’s highest-ranked teams battling for conference supremacy. Mark Pope will be coaching in his SEC opener at home in front of a wild Rupp Arena crowd. Starting off with a loss at home is not something you want to do in this league this year. Multiple teams in the top 10, every team with less than 3 losses, the SEC is loaded. With Kentucky ranked No. 10 and Florida at No. 6, both teams bring firepower on offense and strong resumes into this early conference clash. They both average over 85 points a game, and both are in the top 5 of scoring offenses. Florida has given up more points per game than the Cats this year, but Kentucky is more prone to offensive droughts.

Make sure to tune in to see, or listen, to the Wildcats try to protect their home court at Rupp Arena. Whether you’re watching live or listening in on the radio, this is a game you won’t want to miss!
