No. 10 Florida beats Alabama State

Posted November 11, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Kenny Boynton
TEAMS: Florida Gators,  Alabama State Hornets
Kenny Boynton scored 22 points and No. 10 Florida cruised past Alabama State 84-35 on Sunday in a late opener for the Gators. Florida was supposed to begin the season Friday against Georgetown aboard the USS Bataan, but the game was canceled at halftime because there was moisture on the court. The Gators led Alabama State 47-9 at halftime, the fewest points Florida has allowed in the first half since the implementation of the shot clock. Boynton shot 8 of 10 and made all four of his 3-point tries. He also had six rebounds and five assists. Backup guard Bobby Brown led Alabama State (0-2) with 14 points.
