In Saturday's rematch against Florida, John Calipari's frontcourt did a much better job to help him pick up his 500th career victory with the 76-68 win.
Florida did not score on a second-chance opportunity until 3:45 remained in the game. The Gators successfully controlled the glass in their prior meeting this season.
Darius Miller scored a career-high 24 points to lead Kentucky. Brandon Knight added 16 and Doron Lamb 14.
