It s was anyone&#8217;s game, with Florida going into the locker room down 33-26 at the break. But the Gators beat back Georgia in the second for the win as they swept the Bulldogs including a win earlier this season, 104-91.<\/p>\n<p>The Gators hammered the Bulldogs with three pointers, scoring 21 points from beyond the arc. Turnovers also made a difference with 13 giveaways for the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n<p>Kenny Boynton scored a team-best for Florida with 18 points on 35 percent shooting in 36 minutes. Vernon Macklin chipped in with eight huge rebounds. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/go\/bovada\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/banners.beted.com\/images\/banners\/NCAAB\/NCAABGEN1M250x250.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Kentucky was tripped up snapping its two-game win streak, imploding in Fayetteville on February 23rd, being upset by the Razorbacks, 77-76, in overtime.<\/p>\n<p>Brandon   Knight, who recorded a team season high in field goals attempted with 23, led the Wildcats with 26 points while Josh Harrellson chipped in with a   game-leading 14 rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>This was an upset, a game the Wildcats were expected to win, but Arkansas pulled down 22 big offensive rebounds and that created a huge shooting gap, with 21 points of the Arkansas total coming from three-point range to less than 10 for   Kentucky. A big problem for Kentucky was their 15 percent three point   shooting, which was far below their 39 percent season average.<\/p>\n<p>Since Rupp Arena opened, the Gators have won just six of the 35 games played between the two schools at this location. A victory by the Gators will secure   an outright Eastern Division Championship and keep them in the hunt for their   fifth overall SEC crown. Kentucky has not lost a game at home in the John Calipari era, winning 31 straight games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CBB Betting Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under is 18-7 in FLA last 25 Sat. games.<br \/>\nKENTY are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall.<br \/>\nKENTY are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 vs. Southeastern.<br \/>\nOver is 7-3-1 in KENTY last 11 Sat. games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt\u2019s Free Pick<\/strong>: <strong>Kentucky-<\/strong> Florida looked impressive taking down conference rival Georgia and now sit at 22-5, 1st in the SEC, while improving their conference record to 11-2. However, the Wildcats have been bought back to reality and a program like this \u2013 who has won more college basketball games than any program in America &#8211;always makes emotional rebounds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Martz is a sports writer for the Bakersfield Californian, the Oregonian, the Springfield Republican, and the Utah Spectrum.
