Me'Arah O'Neal led the Gators with 23 points, the most in an SEC game and one shy of a career high for Shaquille O'Neal's 19-year-old, 6-foot-4 daughter. Liv McGill added 20 points and 11 assists for Florida, and Jade Weathersby scored 18.
Florida trailed 45-38 at the half but outscored the hosts 35-21 in the third quarter and led 73-66 going into the fourth. The Wildcats regained the lead on a jumper by Strack with 3:34 left. There were four more lead changes, with Strack putting Kentucky ahead to stay when she hit two free throws with 2 minutes remaining to make it 88-87.
The Wildcats were without senior Teonni Key, their third-leading scorer (11 points per game). Key is recovering from an elbow injury she suffered in a 74-52 win over Missouri on Jan. 4.
