Xaivian Lee, Urban Klavzar Deliver From Outside as No. 14 Florida Beats 25th-Ranked Kentucky 92-83
Florida ended an eight-season home losing streak against Kentucky with a 92-83 victory, fueled by 41 combined points from Xaivian Lee and Urban Klavzar, the Gators’ top scorers.
- On Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, Florida men's basketball team defeated Kentucky Wildcats 92-83 in Gainesville, ending a six-game home skid.
- Florida's early shooting — making eight of its first 10 shots and hitting multiple early 3-pointers — combined with a 45-37 rebounding advantage and Urban Klavzar's 19 bench points, set the tone for the win.
- Alex Condon and Rueben Chinyelu recorded double-doubles, finishing with 14 points and 11 rebounds and 10 points and 11 rebounds respectively, while Xaivian Lee led Florida with 22 points.
