Florida Gators must mark kentucky guard Jodie Meeks

[MahxFahn]

Could be another tough away game for us tonight!

Plenty of factors could determine whether Florida (19-4, 6-2 SEC) keeps its East Division lead over the Wildcats (16-7, 5-3), but pesky perimeter defense will be a necessity with Meeks coming off screens.

But the off-week might be beneficial, considering all the practice time dedicated to guarding Meeks off screens.

More than half of Meeks' shots are 3-pointers, which is why Florida shouldn't leave his side for 40 minutes.

I'm not too concerned if the Gators lose. As long as they can keep it close, I think we'll be OK. Our last few games are tough, so we'll definitely need to split with Kentucky. But going in there tonight will be a very hard game to win.

Kentucky still has a ways to go if they want to get back to being the powerhouse they once were.

the thing is if we want to have a great defense we need to shut down his whole other teammates absolutely cuz you cant win off of jus 1 persons scoring, and then keep our offense efficient with little to no turnovers.
