GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Kenny Boynton scored 22 points, Erving Walker added 21 and No. 10 Florida used one of its best shooting performances to handle Jacksonville 107-62 on Friday night.

The Gators (4-1) dominated from the opening tip, allowing little chance for a repeat of what happened last year in Gainesville. Jacksonville (2-3) upset Florida 71-69 in overtime, knocking the Gators out of the rankings.

This one was over by halftime.

Florida made seven of its first 14 shots to open up a double-digit lead. Boynton hit consecutive 3-pointers that pushed the lead to 18.

The Gators were up 58-38 at the break and showed the kind of knockout mentality coach Billy Donovan has wanted with a 13-2 run to start the second half.
