BATON ROUGE, La. --- Florida snapped a two-game losing streak in emphatic style Wednesday night at LSU.

The Gators made a school-record 19 3-pointers in an offensive onslaught, defeating LSU 106-71 at Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

When freshman guard Eric Hester made a 3-pointer with under two minutes remaining, it broke UF's previous school record of 18 3-pointers set on Dec. 30, 1996 against Robert Morris.

Junior forward Devin Robinson led six Florida scorers in double figures with a career-high 24 points. Hester was a surprise contributor with 16 points off the bench, going 5 for 5 from 3-point range.
