GAIINESVILLE, Fla. — Denzel Aberdeen scored 22 points, Thomas Haugh added 20 — career highs for both players — and No. 3 Florida beat South Carolina 88-67 despite playing without two frontcourt players. The Gators led by four at halftime but started the second half with a 12-1 run to open up a comfortable lead. The Gamecocks never recovered and fell to 0-12 in Southeastern Conference play. Florida center Micah Handlogten, playing in his first game since gruesomely breaking his left leg in the SEC title game 11 months ago, finished with two points, three rebounds and five assists in his return. Jacobi Wright led the way for South Carolina with 13 points.
