GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Kentucky coach John Calipari never mentioned perfection to his team before Sunday's game at Florida.

He talked about pride.

The Wildcats ended up with both.

Freshman Anthony Davis had 22 points, 12 rebounds and six blocks, Terrence Jones added 19 points and the top-ranked Wildcats capped a perfect season in Southeastern Conference play with a 74-59 victory over Florida (No. 13 ESPN/USA Today, No. 16 AP).

Kentucky (30-1, 16-0) set a school record for regular-season wins, extended its winning streak to 22 games and secured its hold on a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Wildcats are the No. 1 seed in next week's SEC tournament.

"I told them prior to the game, 'Look, bottom line is if we lose we're still a 1 seed. It doesn't change our seeding. It doesn't do anything. But it's about pride,' " Calipari said. "... That was the message prior to the game: just go have pride and play."

The Wildcats became just the third team since Alabama in 1956 to go unbeaten in SEC play. The other two? Kentucky. The powerhouse program accomplished the feat in 1996 and 2003.

"To be a part of one of them, it's a great honor," Davis said.

Big Blue faced little resistance in the regular-season finale.

The Wildcats used an 8-0 run in the second half to make it a double-digit lead, and then added a 9-0 run later to put the game out of reach.

"The one thing I would say about them is that if you do break down defensively against them, you're going to pay," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "But they also have the ability, when you guard them the way you want to guard them, they can still make a shot. ... I think that's what makes really, really good teams."
