No. 11 Florida vs. Kentucky final score: Wildcats pull off 61-57 upset

In a game of runs between the No. 11 Florida Gators and Kentucky Wildcats, it was the Wildcats who closed with an 11-0 run to pull off a 61-57 upset on Saturday at Rupp Arena. The victory is a huge one for Kentucky's NCAA Tournament resume.

The Wildcats (21-10, 12-6 SEC) looked to be in big trouble after the Gators (24-6, 14-4 SEC) went on a 23-6 second half run to take a 57-50 lead, but Kentucky roared back thanks to excellent defense. Florida's offense went in the tank, not scoring a point over the last seven-plus minutes of the game and missing their last 11 shots in the process. The Gators had a chance to tie late, but a Kenny Boynton jumper rattled out.
