BOX SCORE
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Mike Miller scored 12 of his 25 points during a seven-minute stretch of the second half as Florida (No. 10 ESPN/USA Today, No. 9 AP) routed Georgia 90-68 Wednesday night.
The Gators (21-5, 10-3 Southeastern Conference) went in front
for good at 44-43 when Miller converted a three-point play with
14:10 remaining.
Miller ended his scoring spree with two free throws after
Georgia coach Jim Harrick was hit with a technical foul with 7:07
to play. Miller's free throws stretched the lead to 69-55, coming
after Donnell Harvey had completed a three-point play.
The Gators made the one trip down the floor worth seven points
when Udonis Haslem scored moments later as Florida retained
possession.
Anthony Evans led the Bulldogs (10-16, 3-10) with 17 points,
D.A. Layne added 16 and Adrian Jones 15.
Less than a minute after Florida's seven-point trip, Harrick was
ejected when another technical was called on the Georgia bench with
6:09 to play. Brett Nelson hit one of the two free throws to make
it 76-57.
Harvey added 13 points and Nelson 10.
Georgia bolted to an early 8-2 lead before the Gators began
chipping away in a first half that saw 10 lead changes before Matt
Bonner hit an 18-footer as time expired to draw Florida into a tie
at 31.
Georgia trailed only once in the early part of the second half,
with Layne's basket making it 43-41 before Miller took control and
put the Gators in command.
