The Wildcats (24-1, 10-0) matched their best start in league play since 2005 thanks to three freshmen starters who have jelled into a formidable defense to go along with their high-powered offense.
Davis added 16 points for Kentucky, which won its 16th straight overall and ended Florida’s run of seven consecutive wins.
Kenny Boynton led the Gators (19-5, 7-2) with 18 points, but the team with the nation’s most 3-pointers this season went 6 of 27 from behind the arc and shot 34.9 percent overall from the field.
One of the last remaining questions for a team that continues to believe it can play for a national championship in just under two months had been the quality of opponents the Wildcats had faced after not meeting a ranked team in over a month.
Florida scored the first two baskets of the second half to cut it to 38-30, but Kentucky answered with an 11-0 run sparked when Teague and Darius Miller hit consecutive 3-pointers.
Florida freshman Bradley Beal then drove to the hoop only to have Davis reject his shot and Davis swatted another from Patric Young on the possession for good measure.
Miller added another jumper and Kidd-Gilchrist spun, hit a basket and was fouled. He completed the three-point play that made it 49-30 as Florida missed eight straight shots before snapping the skid.
Coach John Calipari compared Kidd-Gilchrist to his biggest star when he coached at Memphis.
The lead reached 20 points when Lamb buried a 3-pointer from the left corner with 11:27 left and by as many as 21 late.
“It’s fun winning by 20,” Teague said.
Beal scored 14 points and Young added 12 for the Gators.
Florida insisted before the game all the pressure was on the Wildcats, but this group that starts three freshmen and two sophomores doesn’t appear to get rattled easily. Their only blemish is a one-point loss in December at Indiana.
David Bote avoided the traditional super-soaking from his Cubs teammates Sunday after coming through with a ninth-inning RBI single to walk off a 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
