By ANTONYA ENGLISH
Published March 5, 2006
WHEN/WHERE: Noon; Rupp Arena, Lexington.
TV/RADIO: Ch. 10; 620-AM. RECORDS: UF 23-6, 9-6 SEC; Kentucky 19-10, 9-6.
COACHES: UF - Billy Donovan (216-98 10th season; 251-118 overall); Kentucky - Tubby Smith (238-68, ninth season; 362-130).
NOTABLE: After losing eight to the Wildcats, Florida has won the past three. Florida forward Joakim Noah is coming off a career-high 37-point game against Georgia and ranks third in the nation in field-goal percentage at 65.8. Kentucky is in the unusual position of trying to bolster its resume for the NCAA Tournament, but it's coming off a huge win over Tennessee on Wednesday. The Wildcats will honor their seniors, including Patrick Sparks, Ravi Moss and Brandon Stockton. "Every time you get ready for Senior Day, there is always a big buildup," Smith said. "This is a special time for these young men, and we try to make it special for them because they have been a big part of our program."
