COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Kenny Boynton had 15 points and hit four of No. 19 Florida's 12 3-pointers in a 79-65 victory over South Carolina on Saturday night.
The Gators (14-4, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) came in leading the league in 3-pointers with nearly 11 per game. They reached double figures from long range for the 13th time this season but first in SEC play against the Gamecocks (8-9, 0-3).
Boynton wasn't alone in hitting from outside. Erving Walker added three from long range, while Bradley Beal and Mike Rosario had two apiece. The Gators took control with three 3s during a 19-3 run to start the second half.
Not even beloved Gators football great Steve Spurrier - here for a halftime celebration of the Gamecocks season - could slow down Florida.
