(updated through 2017 regular season matchups)
Florida has been quite a pest for the Kentucky Wildcats, especially within the confines of the Stephen C. O'Connell Center, also known as the O-Dome.
UK is only 20-17 at Florida's current venue, which has proved to be one of their most challenging environments. Five of those losses were consecutive, from 2005 through 2009 (Tubby's last three, and both of Billy G's). Calipari is 13-6 against Florida but only 4-5 in Gainesville.
Since Pitino left, it's been a relatively close battle. Florida had some very strong teams under Billy Donovan (2006, 2007 and 2014 in particular). UK is only 28-18 against UF since the Pitino days.
Overall, though? UK has dominated Florida. Just like any other SEC team.

Among other websites consulted, one of my main sources for this and many other posts is the peerless UK resource (and probably the best site of its kind for any sports team) known as "The Kentucky Basketball Statistics Project" operated by Jon Scott.
