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 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 coach

said of the Gators. The Ospreys lost by 32 points last Friday at No. 2 Michigan State, but Driscoll said the Gators have a more explosive offense.

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

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