With Kentucky’s big win over Florida Friday in the SEC Tournament, they move to 32-0 on the season as they move into the semifinals.
For the third time this season, the Kentucky Wildcats took care of business against Florida who has been a tough competitor for them in recent years, beating the Gators 64-49. With the win, Kentucky moves to 32-0 on the season and will face the winner of LSU/Auburn on Saturday.
Here’s your updated FanSided SEC Tournament bracket:
The Wildcats’ offense struggled in the game, shooting just 37 percent from the field, but their 16 offensive rebounds helped them stay in control. Freshman power forward Karl-Anthony Towns and sophomore Aaron Harrison led the Wildcats with 13 points each. Towns added 12 rebounds.
Junior 7-foot center Willie Cauley-Stein struggled for Kentucky, shooting just 2-for-9, but finished with nine points thanks to free throws. Trey Lyles also struggled, shooting 1-for-8 but added seven points to the effort with his five made free throws.
Indiana’s 1975-76 team is the last team to go undefeated for the whole year, and Kentucky will try to take away that crown, but they’ll have to win eight more games if they want to go the perfect 40-0.
Kentucky played Auburn and LSU once this season. They played LSU on the road and had one of their closest calls to a loss this season when LSU had the chance to tie or win the game but Kentucky held on to win 71-69. The Wildcats easily took care of Auburn 110-75 in February.
We’ll see if Kentucky’s undefeated road will come to an end in the SEC tournament or if they can carry it to the big dance.
