OK. So let’s take a look at how ridiculous this Florida-Kentucky game was. Florida registered 139 points per 100 possessions. Incredible. That would have won almost any game this year. But Kentucky hit 147 POINTS PER 100 POSSESSIONS! The Boston Celtics are averaging 120.4 points per 100 possessions this season. So yes, Kentucky just put together one of the greatest offensive displays in a top-25 matchup that we’ve seen in recent memory.

I’ve been doing this 30 years. I can count on one hand where both the game and the environment were as good as they were today at Rupp for Kentucky-Florida. College basketball at its best.

@_AudreyFaith_ Is that coffee or Dino-Nuggets?

@BigBlueNationD1 Just leave it. It’ll never be there all four rounds.

@UKBALLCOACH @tom_hart The second use should be “you’re,” as in “you are (you’re) neutral.”

@_AudreyFaith_ I wouldn’t be upset at all if we got him.

@Aaron_Torres @Zmoni9 Second in the SEC with the lineup he had is NOT a compliment to Cal. That doesn't need to be fact-checked.

[Dirt McGirt @newspaperman83]

#BBN remember how excited we all were when UK hired Cal? Well, that’s Arkansas fans now. Let them enjoy it and we’ll do our thing.

@Jeremy_Ba11 @Kentuckyhot Absolutely! There is no way to put it into words. I loved UK from the time I knew what basketball was. I was 10 years old in 1990. I literally grew up watching those teams. It became a part of me. It still is and it always will be. Growing up in the #606, it was mesmerizing.

@patkelsey You might want to worry about Lenoir-Rhyne before worrying about Big Brother.

@patkelsey I hope (and know) many people took a screenshot of this. It will not age well.
