GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Alijah Martin scored 22 points, Walter Clayton Jr. added 19 and No. 5 Florida beat Texas 84-60 to start a new home-winning streak. Four days after having their 16-game winning streak in Gainesville snapped by Missouri, the Gators bounced back with more effort and energy despite dealing with more turmoil. Assistant coach Taurean Green was on the bench two days after being publicly accused of sexual assault. The Southeastern Conference's leading scorer, Tre Johnson, led Texas with 16 points on 6-of-15 shooting.
