Darius Miller scored a career-high 24 points as No. 22 Kentucky held off visiting No. 13 Florida, 76-68, on Saturday.

Brandon Knight added 16 points and six assists without a turnover and Doron Lamb scored 16 for the Wildcats (20-8, 8-6 SEC), who bounced back from an overtime loss at Arkansas on Wednesday and stayed undefeated at home.

There were 10 ties and six lead changes in the first half, with Kentucky taking a 34-33 edge into the break behind 24 points combined from Miller and Knight. A 3-pointer from Lamb on the first possession of the second followed by a turnover and a layup gave the Wildcats a 39-33 edge, and they never trailed again.

The Gators were making a move to get back into it late, cutting the deficit to single digits at 66-58. But Miller grabbed an offensive rebound and then drifted out to the 3-point arc, where Knight found him for a deep jumper that pushed the lead back to double digits.

Kenny Boynton scored 21 points and Chandler Parsons collected 15 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for Florida (22-6, 11-3), which missed a chance to clinch the SEC East.
