Kentucky @ Florida - Pre Game

Florida is the second team in SEC
history to hold a 17-0 conference
record (LSU, 1981). No team has ever
gone 18-0 in the history of the SEC.
Senior Class and pre game notes
No SEC team has ever completed an 18-game conference season undefeated -- Kentucky (three times), Vanderbilt and LSU (once each) went 17-1 -- and Florida, having already wrapped up its second straight regular-season league title, has a chance to be the first. That would be a significant and fitting achievement for a senior group that has won 112 games since arriving in 2010-11.
Additional notes
There is no getting around the fact that this is a huge game for both teams and yet at the same time, a loss doesn't really hurt either team very much. It is basically the ultimate pride game. Reminds me somewhat of Duke/UNC 20 years ago. Florida is working hard trying to get on equal footing with Kentucky in the basketball realm. Good luck Cats!

Please kick him in the shin next time you see him.
So you get a close up view of the craziness that is Kentucky. Kind of like Bama fans @ SEC Media days.

Meh. I might flip over to it during commercials, but I'll mostly be watching our women's team play South Carolina in the SEC tourney during what I assume with be a bloodbath with the men.

I like our women's chances better than our men's.

O'Connell Center should be rockin'. Lets put this one away early.

SEC basketball sucks. One and only good team is UF.

No rooting interest for me, but I hope it's a good game!
