Balanced Gators roll past Ospreys

-

GAINESVILL­E — UF sharpshoot­er stole the show on Monday night.

Three days following the Gators’ season opener, everyone else joined in as the nation’s No. 8 team made quick work of overmatche­d and exhausted North Florida.

Playing their fourth road game in six days, the Ospreys (0-4) did not stand a chance against the Gators’ offensive firepower during Thursday night’s 108-68 loss.

With UF trailing 5-3, guard Jalen Hudson scored seven quick points followed by a four-point play by Koulechov and the rout was on for the Gators (2-0).

When the dust settled, the Gators had recorded back-to-back 100-point games to open the season for the first time in school history. Following a 116-74 season-opening win Monday against Gardner-Webb, UF led UNF by as many as 41 points.

“This is a Final Four team,” UNF Driscoll said of the Gators.

The Ospreys lost by 32 points last Friday at No. Michigan State, but Driscoll said the Gators have more explosive offense.

“You’re talking about a team from can score the ball,” Driscoll said.

Shooting guard KeVaughn Allen led six Gators with at least a dozen points, finishing with 18.
