‘It was terrible.’ Florida is more physical than UK, again, in SEC Tournament Kentucky suffered its worst rebounding performance under Mark Pope in an SEC Tournament quarterfinal loss to Florida.

Kentucky basketball got out-rebounded by 21 on the glass in today's SEC Tournament loss to Florida.

It was the worst rebounding performance of the Mark Pope era at UK.

Kam Williams checks in for UK with 14:20 to go in the first half.

He was listed as a game-time decision for the Wildcats.

That's 3 games in 3 days for Williams. Looks like his left foot is just fine after Williams missed 7 weeks after breaking it during the regular season.

Kentucky was headed for another ugly loss. Here’s how the Cats avoided disaster From up 16 in the second half to down one in the final minutes, it was another roller coaster for Mark Pope’s team. This time, UK endured.

Kentucky blew a 16-point lead vs. Missouri today.

What if that had happened 2 months ago? "I think we probably would have folded."

But this is now, and the Wildcats endured. And maybe all of that angst along the way has amounted to something good for this UK team: www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...
