    Here we go - time for some SEC hoops! The 10-3 Gators host the 10-2 6th-ranked Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday, Jan 6, 12:30pm. The game will be broadcast on ESPN. Pick the score, the Most Valuable Gator (MVG), and the Stat of the Game (SoG). SoG is free throw attempt differential between the Gators' and Wildcats. The kittens averages 18.3 attempts/game and the Gators average 25.8. If the Gators can outrebound the kittens and get an advantage from the ft line, they will have a strong chance to win.

    My pick:
    Gators 77
    kittens 71
    MVG Samuel
    SoG +2

    Both teams play at high tempos so a high scoring affair. Last team with the ball might be the winner.

    UF 86
    UK 85
    MVG Riley (he is due for a breakout game and a fast paced game is in his wheelhouse)
    UF gets to the line a lot and are at home so UF +6 unless Doug Shows and Ted Valentine are refs.
