Social Media Reactions From Kentucky's Comeback Win
The Kentucky Basketball team appeared ready to pack it in after 29 minutes of action, but that was simply not the case as the Cats flipped the script, and completed a legendary 18-point comeback to beat Florida 71-70.
The Wildcats outscored the Gators by a score of 32-13 in the final 11 minutes with huge complementary contributions from Keion Brooks Jr., Nate Sestina, and Johnny Juzang.
Here are some reactions from the social media world:

Incredible resolve on the road by Kentucky at Florida without Ashton Hagans.
Cats’ first lead of the game was their ONLY lead of the game.

A true team effort:
We’re gonna end up writing stories about Keion Brooks, Richards and EJ Montgomery saving a Kentucky team that didn’t have Quickley, Hagans and really Maxey (1-11) after being down 18 midway through the second half. Wow.

Goodman weighs in:
That’s one hell of a road win for Kentucky.
No Ashton Hagans, Immanuel Quickley fouls out with plenty of time left and the Cats come back from 17 down midway though the second half.
And yes, I know Blackshear was hurt for the Gators. But they still needed to close this out.
