It's been at least a couple of weeks since Kentucky faced a test like they'll face tonight against the Florida Gators.
Billy Donovan has his team rolling and ranked eighth in the country, and they do something very well that UK has had fits defending all season, shoot the three.
The Cats have a real confidence about them right now as the number one team in the country, but the Gators are confident too. They believe they will come to Rupp and win. The Cats have to stay grounded.
"You just have to come out focused. If you come out with this arrogence, you definitely can be beat. Thinking we are the best team in the country, we can't lose. Anything like that, you can be beat. You have to have the mindset that we are going to come out for the whole forty minutes and limit our mistakes, then you definitely have a better chance of winning," said Anthony Davis.
The Cats have played their best basketball of the season so far over the last few games. They'll find out tonight just where they are, and they hope they're not done improving yet.
"We got three or four more weeks where we got to keep peaking now. This can't be it because if this is it, you start going down the wrong way," said UK coach John Calipari.
