Darius Miller Career High with win over No 13 Florida
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Darius Miller let the 3-pointer fly from the top of the key. When it splashed through the net to clinch Kentucky's biggest victory of the season, the normally reserved forward turned and briefly stuck his tongue out in celebration.
Saving a season sure tasted sweet.
Miller scored a career-high 24 points and the 22nd-ranked Wildcats surged past No. 13 Florida 76-68 on Saturday, the kind of confidence-boosting victory Kentucky desperately needed following another late-game road meltdown against Arkansas on Wednesday that left coach John Calipari questioning his team's toughness.
- UK's best, biggest game of the year?
- Calipari: 500 victories about surviving
- Postgame video interviewsAgainst the Gators, he got some answers, particularly from Miller. Calipari openly challenged Miller after a loss at Florida three weeks ago, pointing out his mistakes in a tough 70-68 defeat.

Blame Tennessee's NCAA infractions on more than Bruce Pearl, Kiffin - Stewart Mandel - SI.com
On Wednesday Tennessee released its 26-page Notice of Allegations from the NCAA, which outlines 11 major violations previously reported by the media over the past year. Basketball coach Bruce Pearl is accused of unethical conduct, failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance and failure to monitor his assistants. Former football coach Lane Kiffin is also accused of failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance and failure to monitor his assistants.
At no point, however, does the document mention the man who should ultimately be held responsible for fielding two such dysfunctional, rule-breaking programs; the man who hired both coaches, then stood back and let them make a mockery of the NCAA rule book. Somehow, athletic director Mike Hamilton has escaped the NCAA's wrath despite his two most high-profile employees' complete disregard for the most basic tenets of compliance.

Kentucky falls to Arkansas in OT when Knight runs out of heroics
Pelphrey gets first win against ex-team as Hogs top Cats in OT
Another loss on the road in the Southeastern Conference left Kentucky ... what? Demoralized? Perplexed? Resigned? Wild-eyed mad?
After Arkansas beat UK 77-76 in overtime Wednesday night, Coach John Calipari let reporters know his preferred reaction.
"You'd have to ask them," he said of the UK players' reaction. "I know I'm angry."
Bringing about the proper response to a historic sixth SEC road loss is part of coaching, Calipari said. Since the SEC went to divisional play in 1991-92, no Kentucky team had lost six road games. That the losses have come by a total of 18 points only heightened the frustration.
"You've got to get sick and tired of it," Calipari said, "and change it. Sometimes you've got to get angry with each other."
