Florida will try to put the finishing touches on a magnificent regular season on Saturday afternoon in hostile territory, and the 5th-ranked Gators will have one of their key cogs back in the lineup as they try to do it.
A few hours before Florida hit the floor in Lexington against SEC rival Kentucky, the Gators revealed that star forward Thomas Haugh will be back in the lineup after missing the first game of his career earlier this week against Mississippi State. The junior sat out Tuesday night’s home blowout victory over the Bulldogs because of a foot injury, but he’ll be available for Saturday’s regular-season finale at Rupp Arena as the SEC regular-season champions go for their 11th straight victory.
The last SEC availability report was released at 2 p.m. ET, 2 hours before the 4 p.m. ET tipoff on ESPN, and there was no Florida players listed on the injury report. That signaled that Haugh would be good to go for the matchup, as the Gators try to build a little more momentum for next week’s SEC Tournament.
Haugh burned Kentucky in the first meeting between the rivals this season back on Feb. 14 in Gainesville, posting 17 points and 8 rebounds. Florida did just fine without Haugh in the 34-point victory over Mississippi State, but the Gators’ attack will be strengthened that much more with Haugh back.
Florida is 24-6 overall with a gaudy 15-2 SEC record going into Saturday, while Kentucky is still in a desperate situation as it tries to nail down an NCAA Tournament berth. The Wildcats sit at 19-11 overall and 10-7 in the SEC, and suddenly with Haugh returning to the lineup their quest to earn a huge victory got that much tougher.
