Only a late spurt - 14 of the game’s last 27 points after trailing 68-31 - allowed the Panthers to escape the possibility of being doubled up. The Gators smothered Milwaukee - and likely early NBA Draft pick Patrick Baldwin - from the opening tip, then built a colossal lead that ballooned to 37 in the second half with an extended 35-9 run out of halftime, ultimately settling for a 81-45 win that could have been even more lopsided rather easily.Ĭolin Castleton led all players with 19 points and 10 rebounds and paced four Gators in double figures - including Phlandrous Fleming, who had 12 points off the bench for his first double-digit night of scoring as a Gator - as they strolled away from the Panthers, who shot just 32 percent from the field and failed to score a field goal for 11:32 of the second half. Instead, they might need to ask forgiveness for poaching some Panthers in Florida. Coming off an emotional victory over a rival on Sunday, the Florida Gators could have been forgiven for taking it a little easier against Milwaukee on Thursday.
