Florida 84, Georgia 72: Phlandrous Fleming leads Gators in road rout

In early January, Florida fans gave Phlandrous Fleming grief for openly celebrating his hometown Georgia Bulldogs winning a national championship in a sport he does not play.

In late February, Fleming gave those Bulldogs grief and then some upon his return to that hometown — and while he probably won’t get many apologies from Florida fans, what he got his Gators is more important: A win.

Fleming scored a Florida-high 27 points and added five rebounds and four assists in a dominant performance and Tyree Appleby complimented him with a third consecutive 20-point game in the Gators’ 84-72 win over Georgia in Athens on Saturday.
