Florida owned the Wildcats this season. It’s wild when you break it down like this, though.
Florida and Kentucky played 120 minutes of basketball this season.

Kentucky led zero minutes. At no point in three games did Kentucky ever have a lead.

Todd Golden from the top rope!

If we could only bottle and drink this
This Florida team is one of the most annoying teams I can remember

This win gives Florida its first sweep of the Wildcats since 2014. Todd Golden is changing the program even after winning a National Championship.
🐊🏀FINAL: (1) Florida #Gators prevail 71-63 over (9) Kentucky, sweeping their rivals 3-0 in a season for the first time since 2014 and advancing to the SEC Tournament semifinals for the second straight year.

Alex Condon was a consistent force
It wasn’t a flashy offensive day for Florida, but Condon was consistent from start to finish. He got it done on both sides of the court.

Florida is getting better from the three-point line at the right time
This is an insane graphic by ESPN, and a real point of optimism for Florida's chances at a back-to-back. pic.twitter.com/WLzJ2telFU
