John Pelphrey is the Y today at Rupp Arena.
Pelphrey was recently relieved of his duties as the men's basketball coach at Tennessee Tech.
This is the 6th time this season that UK has allowed at least 49 points in one half.
The list:
- 1st half today vs. Florida
- 2nd half of loss at Texas A&M
- 2nd half of loss at Florida
- 1st half of loss at Alabama
- 2nd half of loss to Gonzaga
- 1st half of loss at Louisville
At halftime, No. 5 Florida leads Kentucky, 49-32.
This is the 15th time in 24 games against high-major opponents this season that UK has trailed at the break.
Florida went on separate 11-0 and 13-0 scoring runs during today's first half at Rupp Arena.
Otega Oweh has set a new career-best with 4 made 3-pointers in a game.
There's still 1:52 to play before halftime, but UK is down 16 points to Florida.
Otega Oweh is up to 11 points so far today for Kentucky.
That gives him 1,131 for his UK career and moves him into 48th on the all-time scoring list, passing Randolph Morris.
Wallace “Wah Wah” Jones is next with 1,151 career points.
Arkansas went on the road and beat Missouri in overtime earlier today.
Vanderbilt just went into Knoxville and knocked off Tennessee.
If UK defeats Florida at Rupp Arena, the Wildcats will be the No. 4 seed in the SEC Tournament and will get a double-bye to Friday's games.
This is Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky.
One last time from here this season.
Kentucky hosts No. 5 Florida for Senior Day, with a variety of SEC Tournament and NCAA Tournament outcomes still on the line.
