Should be a top 10 matchup when this week's rankings are released.

I don't think we beat UK because they match up better than anyone in the SEC with their size. Our lineup, save for Young, is extremely small.

Game will come down to if Young/Murphy play well. Our guard will have alot of turnovers with UK's length.

UK 78, UF 67 IMO. Just don't see us winning in Rupp.

We do have one, but our offense is based around our guards, not our forwards.

Plus, Young is still dealing with tendinitis in his ankle, so hes still not healthy.

Won't throw out a score, but it all depends on how hot UF gets from the arc. The one thing I worry about is our perimeter D. Otherwise we're really starting to roll.

Florida usually plays us close. The guard play will be fun to watch. I'm interested in seeing who we put on Beal.

The way UK is playing right now and along with the fact that the game is at rupp....i can't see the cats winning by less then 10. But florida is a good team so who knows, but i'd say 10+

The Cats have had so many blowouts you could catch them nappin. One thing to throw out there though... Calapari has not lost in Rupp yet I dont think. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

He hasn't. We also have the nation's longest home winning streak. Surpassed Duke and then they dropped one at Cameron Indoor.

And we really haven't had that many blowouts. This team up until just recently had a tendency of letting teams back in it. If they're pushing towards their full potential, this team can be SCARY good. Syracuse eat your heart out.

Our team is too small and Young is still injured.

Davis is going to smash our layups and floaters to the 3rd row of Rupp. Only chance of winning is if we nail our 3s and Kentucky inexplicably decides to leave the perimeter open. So...not going to happen. But we're not going to get blown out like USC either.

Since it's at Rupp, I don't think we win either

Size will certainly matter here, I agree that PY will have to really step up. Also can't afford to killed on the boards.

This will be a great test but unfortunately I just don't see a W. Hopefully I'm wrong

Unless they rain threes, UF doesn't have what it takes to beat UK at Rupp this year.

I don't expect a win here, but I would not be surprised at all if we pick up the win in Gainesville.

I will say, the team hasn't shot all that well the last 2 games, so you never know, it could be the game they turn it on for.
