On This Day in UK Basketball History

On February 4, 2003, Florida came to Rupp Arena to play its first game in school history as the No. 1-ranked team in the AP poll. Before 24,459 roaring fans, Kentucky held the Gators to 17-of-50 field-goal shooting and dominated behind Keith Bogans (15 points).  One of UK’s six all-time wins over a No. 1-ranked foe.
