KSR shares behind-the-scenes look at Kentucky's top-10 win over Florida

The Rupp Arena crowd answered the call versus the Florida Gators. 11 AM tip-off or not, Big Blue Nation brought the energy for all 40 minutes, pushing the Wildcats across the finish line in a 106-100 win over the Florida Gators to open SEC play.

It was an ugly start, Kentucky falling behind by as many as 11 in the first half before using 16-0 and 10-0 runs going into the break and never looking back. Todd Golden’s bunch tried hitting big shots to stay in it, but the Cats had just enough in the tank to pull off their third top-10 win of the season — most in college basketball.

How did it it all come together at Rupp Arena? KSR’s Steven Peake takes you inside to show just how wild it got in the first conference game of the Mark Pope Era, one that put the first-year coach in rarefied air as the first coach since Adolph Rupp to win their first three top-10 matchups in Lexington. See the fan reaction and celebration in real time — along with Koby Brea going nuclear in a career day — thanks to this exclusive behind-the-scenes look:

Quite the day in Lexington. Let’s have some more of those, shall we?
