No. 1 Kentucky 74, No. 13 Florida 59: Anthony Davis scored 22 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked six shots, as the visiting Wildcats capped a perfect season in SEC play.

Terrence Jones added 19 points with three blocks for Kentucky (30-1, 16-0 SEC), which finished unbeaten in SEC competition for the first time since 2003. The top-ranked Wildcats, who have won 22 straight, open play in the SEC tournament on Friday in New Orleans.

The Gators (22-9, 10-6 SEC) lost for the fifth time in eight games, and will open the conference tournament Friday as the fourth seed. Patric Young led Florida with 21 points on 10-for-15 shooting.

Down 40-32 at halftime, the Gators pulled to 59-55 on Young’s jumper with 9:03 remaining. The Wildcats scored the next nine points and Davis’ layup with 6:09 to go gave the Wildcats a 68-55 advantage.

Kentucky’s defense suffocated the Gators’ perimeter game. Erving Walker, Bradley Beal and Kenny Boynton combined to shoot six-for-29 and score 20 points. Florida, which leads the nation in 3-pointers, finished six-for-22 from 3-point range.

Marquis Teague added 12 points for the Wildcats, who shot 52.5 percent from the field.
