TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Kenny Boynton and Mike Rosario both scored 14 points Wednesday night and No. 6 Florida romped to a 72-47 victory over defending ACC champion Florida State.
It took the Gators 5 minutes to take a 12-2 lead. Boynton’s layup with 8:57 left gave Florida its largest lead, 62-25.
Florida (7-0) has held five opponents to under 50 points while taking its fourth straight win over the Seminoles (4-4) who have lost three straight home games after their most lopsided defeat to Florida since a 96-61 loss in 1999.
Michael Frazier added 12 points and Patric Young finished with 10 points and eight rebounds for the Gators, who cruised to a 35-15 halftime lead in their first road game of the season.
Michael Snaer led Florida State with 10 points, all in the second half.
Florida, which came into the game ranked second nationally in scoring defense, had the Seminoles baffled from the outset, forcing 13 turnovers in the first half and outrebounding them 21-11.
TEXAS A&M 62, STEPHEN F. AUSTIN 54
At College Station, Texas, freshman J-Mychal Reese scored eight of his 15 points in the final 3 minutes as Texas A&M defeated Stephen F. Austin.
Reese matched his career high and kept the Aggies (6-1) unbeaten in 14 games against the Lumberjacks. Reese made a couple of floaters from the lane and made four free throws down the stretch. Ray Turner also scored 15 points for Texas A&M.
Antonio Bostic and Taylor Smith led the Lumberjacks with 14 points apiece. Stephen F. Austin (5-1) is off to its best start since 1981.

VIRGINIA 46, TENNESSEE 38
At Charlottesville, Va., Akil Mitchell had 13 points and 12 rebounds, and Joe Harris also scored 13 as Virginia won a battle of stout defenses.
The victory was the sixth in a row for the Cavaliers (7-2) and came after they limited the Vols to 28.8 percent shooting and 15 field goals.
Trae Golden scored 11 to lead Tennessee (4-3), which scored 36 points in a one-point loss to No. 15 Georgetown on Friday.
