LEXINGTON, Ky. — When Florida plays host to Kentucky in an SEC basketball game on Wednesday night, the Gators will do so on Billy Donovan Court at the Exactech Arena in Gainesville.
It’s an ode to the former Florida coach who won a pair of national championships over 19 seasons before leaving for the NBA in 2015 and whose success the Gators have found difficult to replicate.
If you want to be the coach who follows the coach who replaced Billy Donovan, then you are Todd Golden. The 37-year-old Arizona native is in his first year as the Florida head coach. His Gators bring a 14-13 overall record and 7-7 SEC mark into the matchup with the Wildcats.
