Florida 81, Baylor 60: Gators burn bright in SEC-Big 12 Challenge

The Florida Gators fell to one member of the 2017 East Regional on Wednesday.

On Saturday, against another one, the Gators made sure to rise.

Florida drained 14 of 25 threes and built a lead that was never meaningfully challenged in their third SEC-Big 12 Challenge victory under Mike White, an 81-60 rout of Baylor.

Chris Chiozza — as usual — led the Gators, pouring in 20 points to lead all scorers and recording six assists and six rebounds. At one point in the first half, Chiozza scored 13 straight points for the Gators, nine of them on threes, and helped to push the Gators out to a 15-point lead.
