I'd still say it's 1) Kentucky, 2) Florida in the SEC, but the gap between 1 and 2 is not a small one. Work to do before March 4.

It doesn't help that even the rims are on Kentucky's side.

Are we sure Anthony Davis played high school ball on 10- foot rims? I'm thinking 11, maybe 12.

Florida needs to play a perfect second half and hope Kentucky gets lost coming out of the locker room. First 5 minutes are huge.

Might need to up the defensive pressure in the second half just a little.

So Kentucky is fairly solid at both ends.

Halfway through the first half and we've got ourselves a 2-point game. 17-15 Kentucky.
