Gators Win Matchup Of SEC’s Top Two Teams<\/p>\n

GAINESVILLE, Fla.<\/strong>\u00a0(AP) –\u00a0Marshall Henderson scored 25 points and Murphy Holloway<\/a> chipped in 15 more but No. 16 Ole Miss fell at No. 4 Florida 78-64 on Saturday in a battle of the SEC’s two top teams.<\/p>\n

Erik Murphy scored 19 points and was instrumental on the defensive end, helping the Gators to the victory. Murphy made 7 of 8 shots, including 5 of 6 from 3-point range, and added six rebounds and four assists. Defensively, he took a charge, had a block and altered several shots in the paint.<\/p>\n

Pat Young added 13 points and 12 rebounds for the Gators, who won their 10th consecutive game. Mike Rosario (14 points) and Scottie Wilbekin (13) also reached double figures.<\/p>\n

Henderson, the Southeastern Conference’s leading scorer, led the Rebels (17-4, 6-2) with 25 points on 8-of-15 shooting. Henderson was 7 of 11 from behind the arc, hitting several shots with defenders in his face.Kenny Boynton had nine points and 10 assists, just shy of his first double-double.<\/p>\n

The Gators (18-2, 8-0) won their first seven conference games by an average of 28.3 points, and this one looked as though it would be another rout – but Ole Miss kept rallying from 20-point deficits.<\/p>\n

Marshall had a lot to do with it.<\/p>\n

Even though Wilbekin and Boynton guarded him tight most of the night, he found ways to get off shots. Florida led 35-15 with about 6 minutes to go in the first half, but Henderson drained consecutive 3s that capped a 10-0 run for the Rebels.<\/p>\n

With the Gators up 60-39 in the second half, Murphy Holloway<\/a> drove the lane to start a 13-3 run. Henderson also scored in the spurt.<\/p>\n

Still, there was little the Rebels could do to slow down Florida, which shot 51.6 percent from the field, including 11 of 29 from 3-point range. The Gators also had 23 assists on 32 baskets.<\/p>\n

The Rebels shot 38.2 percent, were 7 of 17 from behind the arc and finished with five assists and 13 turnovers.<\/p>\n

Ole Miss came in looking for its first win over a top-five team since knocking off the fifth-ranked Gators in the 2001 SEC tournament.<\/p>\n

Instead, they lost consecutive games for the first time this season.<\/p>\n

Holloway finished with 15 points and seven rebounds for the Rebels, who had no other players reach double figures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
