Kentucky pulled off a shocking second half comeback to stun Florida 71-70 in Gainesville this afternoon.
The Wildcats (25-6, 15-3 SEC) were behind 57-39 with just 11:50 to play.
With Ashton Hagans back in Lexington and Immanuel Quickley fouling out with 9 minutes to go, the Wildcats mounted a miraculous comeback to get the win.
Nick Richards led Kentucky with 19 points and 7 rebounds. Quickley had 12 despite foul trouble for much of the game.
Keion Brooks and Johnny Juzang added 10 points each for the Wildcats.
Kentucky will enter the SEC Tournament with the top seed and some momentum following a week of adversity after Tuesday’s loss to Tennessee.
