GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Kenny Boynton was part of a hot shooting night for No. 12 Florida, scoring 20 points as the Gators overcome 18 turnovers and beat
Auburn 63-47 Tuesday night.
Boynton made 7 of 11 shots from the field, including 6 of 9 from 3-point range.
Florida (22-6, 10-3 Southeastern Conference) had 15 turnovers in the first 27 minutes, an error-filled start that had coach Billy Donovan seething and the Tigers (14-13, 4-9) leading.
The Gators eventually settled down and used a 26-4 run to turn a one-point deficit into a double-digit lead.
Florida's biggest concern after that was the health of forward Will Yeguete, who injured his left ankle with a little more than 10 minutes to play.
