GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The way No. 8 Florida sees it, all the pressure is on top-ranked Kentucky.

The Wildcats have a 15-game winning streak, have won a nation-best 48 in a row at home and hold the top spot in the Southeastern Conference. They have five players averaging double figures, including freshman phenom Anthony Davis, and have allowed only three opponents to top 65 points all season.

They have one of the most complete rosters in the country.

If the Gators win Tuesday night in Lexington, Ky., it’s an upset. If they lose, it’s expected.

Florida guard Kenny Boynton says “there’s no pressure on us.” He says the Gators just need to play their game and “everything else will take care of itself.”
