Right now UK is favored by two.

Biggest SEC basketball game of the year so far. A Florida win would all but clinch the SEC regular season and would put us in a solid position to go undefeated in SEC play.

I like our chances and think we match up pretty well right now, but I could definitely see us losing.

I'll take florida 74-71 right now, mostly cause I'm being a homer.

Too close for me to call. I think we probably split the home/home. Just depends on which UK team comes out.

2 big keys to me are is Kentucky going to be able to handle Florida's pressure and how well does UF shoot from 3.

The Louisville game makes me think Kentucky can do it, but it will be interesting to watch nonetheless.

When UF isn't making 3's their offense isn't that great.

I think Kentucky wins in a close one.

I agree, I think how UK handles the press will be the key. It is always way harder to force turnovers off the press when you are on the road.

Tough tough game to call. Being a Florida fan I'll hope for the best UF showing and UK struggling.

With that said I'd still say it's close. 65-61 UF.

I am honestly more worried about how well Kentucky handles their zone.

Can't disagree but hope FL's senior leadership allows them to weather the storm... and the refs obvious bias towards the visitors at Rupp.

j/k'n on the refs... sorta.

UK plays to it's competition this year. Against average teams they play average, and against good teams they seem to play pretty good.

I think UK wins at home in a close one, 75-71. But I expect it will be close the entire game.

Kentucky wins, but doesn't cover the spread.

It's at Rupp.

UF will get fricked over by calls all game long and fall in the final minute. I'll say KY - 69 UF - 65

I took a pic of the same thing and tweeted at my FSU friend.

You do realize Tennessee just had to fire a coach for cheating? And that most Tennessee fans want him rehired?

This is probably the 3rd or 4th time I have seen ESPN make the same mistake. I can understand for certain schools maybe, but UF and FSU are major players on the national stage, if you can't get those right you probably shouldn't be working for ESPN.

This game is in corRUPPt arena...

I'll take UK and paid off refs in this one. 74-61

UF's big boys will be in foul trouble before the 5 minute mark.
