Kentucky’s amazing freshman class produced another “first” in the win at Florida.

Eric Bledsoe became the third different freshman to score at least 25 points in a game this season, joining John Wall and Demarcus Cousins.

The last time that happened was 1975, when Jack Givens, Rick Robey and Mike Phillips achieved that feat.

And Bledsoe became the first freshman to score at least 25 points in an SEC game since Keith Bogans did in 2000–also at Florida.
