Final Scoring Summary
Recap
No. 8 Florida 79, Central Florida 66: Kenny Boynton scored a season-high 24 points and the Gators remained unbeaten by overcoming potent 3-point shooting from visiting Central Florida.
Scottie Wilbekin contributed a career-high 17 points and eight assists for Florida (5-0), which outrebounded the Knights 36-26 and forced 18 turnovers.
The Gators remained unbeaten but struggled at times. They missed their first nine shots of the game, allowed an 11-0 run by Central Florida (3-2) to open the second half and also permitted the Knights to shoot 55 percent from 3-point range.
Florida survived its imperfections thanks to Boynton and Wilbekin.

Wilbekin also had a big 3-pointer with 10:39 remaining that stretched the lead to 14.
Kasey Wilson led Central Florida with a career-high 20 points. He hit four of his five 3-pointers in the second half.
