All three of Kentucky’s seniors sat down in front of the can of expired Coca-Cola to preview Saturday’s home game against Florida, Senior Day for the most experienced Wildcats.

Davion Mintz will go through Senior Day ceremonies tomorrow, but that doesn’t mean his time as a Wildcat is over.

Davion Mintz is on fire. In his last two games alone, Mintz hit nine 3-pointers on 56 percent shooting from outside. For a little perspective on that hot hand, he didn’t hit his ninth 3-pointer of the season until seven games in when he hit a season-high four 3-pointers as part of his career-high 19…

For the first time in a long time, Kentucky started the game on fire and never gave up a big lead. Despite a poor shooting effort in the second half, the Wildcats won 70-55 at Tennessee. “It was extremely important to know that we can do that,” Keion Brooks said after the game. “We can…
