Bold Predictions for Kentucky vs. Florida in SEC Matchup

Kentucky Basketball — Entering the year, this was a matchup that most college basketball fans were drooling over. However, that isn't really the case now. The Florida Gators have done the opposite of meeting expectations, which is the big reason why this game isn't must-watch TV entering the matchup. At least Kentucky is good, though, right?

Time for some bold predictions for this SEC duel.

5. Gators Come Out Hot, Lead at Half

Kentucky Basketball — So what if these Gators are so much worse than last year's team, they will play this game like it is for the national championship. Plus, Florida will be at home. What does that all mean? Well, it should mean Florida enters this one ready to go, and could even possibly lead at half.

Kentucky Basketball — Okay, this one may be a little bold, but isn't that the point? Also, it's not like the Harrison twins are leading the country in scoring or anything like that.

3. Michael Frazier II Buries 5 Threes

Florida Basketball — Remember how lethal Michael Frazier II was from behind the arc last season? In case you forgot, he made 118 threes on 44.7 percent shooting. His three-point shooting percentage has dropped some this year, but he can still drain the three. The Wildcats will know all about that after this game.

2. Florida — Wait For It — Loses By Less Than 10

Florida Basketball — Florida will be playing at home, it really does have a bunch of talent and Billy Donovan is the head coach. However, Kentucky can beat the best of them on an off night. That is how freakishly talented the Wildcats are, and how much better they have been than everyone they have faced. Sure, the Gators will hold their own in this one, but they still won't pull off the much-needed upset.

1. Loss Bursts Florida’s Very, Very Small Bubble

Florida Basketball — Florida is currently 12-10. If it is on the bubble, it is definitely in the back of the line. However, this loss will unofficially burst the Gators' bubble. There's always that small chance that Florida wins the SEC tournament, so at least there is still some hope.
