The game was not nearly as close as the oddsmakers thought it would be as the fifth-ranked Kansas State Wildcats, along with former Gator Keyontae Johnson, scored an authoritative win over Florida Saturday night inside Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, Kansas, for this year’s edition of the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. Todd Golden’s gang once again came out flat at the start of the game which doomed the team from the get-go in what has become a familiar trope this season.
The Orange and Blue entered the game ranked No. 50 in the NET rankings and left with the same ranking despite the Quadrant 1 loss. Florida now holds a 1-7 mark in Quad 1 games, 1-2 in Quad 2, and 5-0 in both Quad 3 and Quad 4 matchups for a 12-9 record overall and a 5-3 tally in Southeastern Conference play.
Next up for Florida is a visit from the fourth-ranked Tennessee Volunteers, who are currently ranked No. 2 in the NET, on Wednesday, Feb. 1, inside the O’Connell Center in Gainesville, Florida. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST and the game can be followed either on ESPN2 or the Gators IMG Sports Network.
