SUNRISE — Kenny Boynton snapped a shooting slump Saturday with
three 3-pointers in the second half, when No. 14 Florida pulled away to
beat Air Force 78-61 in the second game of the Orange Bowl Basketball
Classic.
Boynton had made only 4-of-32 from 3-point range over the
previous five games, but he hit three in a span of 8 minutes to break
the game open. The Gators used their superior size and smothering
defense to grind down the Falcons, who shot 48 percent in the first half
and 32 percent in the second half.
Florida (9-2) won for only the second time in the past four games. Air Force (8-3) fell to 2-77 against ranked teams.
