Florida basketball extended its season-opening winning streak to six games with an authoritative 84-45 win over the Troy Trojans in the O’Connell Center on Sunday. Led by guards Myreon Jones and Tyree Appleby early on with a three-point assault, the Gators never trailed in this game after jumping out to a massive early lead.
Colin Castleton added 10 points and collect eight rebounds, fading a bit in his role for the second-straight game, while Phlandrous Fleming Jr. got his first start in Gainesville and freshmen Elijah Kennedy and Kowacie Reeves each played 13 minutes. Florida’s tenacious D forced 21 turnovers, scoring 32 of its 84 points from its opponent’s gaffes, while holding the Trojans to 32.1% shooting overall and 12.5% from beyond the arc.
Take a look below at highlights from Sunday afternoon’s blow-out win for the Florida Gators.
