UK Ends 6-Year Losing Streak To Florida On The Road

The Kentucky Wildcats head into the "Swamp" and get a huge road win over the Florida Gators ending a six year losing streak on the road to Florida. The Cats started the game off shaky with Florida starting off on a 7-0 run to begin the game. It wouldn't take long for the Cats to get settled in thanks to Eric Bledsoe who stole the show with a career-high 25 points. Daniel Orton showed tremendous effort on defense with 3 blocks in a row in the first half and ending the game with 4 blocks. Patterson and Cousins had usual solid games keeping the Gators off the boards tonight out rebounding them 38-32. John Wall kept the game in control running the floor with his highlight reel dunks and layups, as well as leading the team with 6 assists. The final score of this one was 89-77. UK continues their road trip to Auburn, Alabama to face the 9-7 Auburn Tigers.
