No. 5 Florida 72,
Florida A&M 57

TAMPA, Fla. — Lee Humphrey scored 15 points and Walter Hodge and Taurean Green had 11 apiece Sunday night, helping Billy Donovan tie Norm Sloan as Florida’s career victory leader with a 72-57 win over Florida A&M.
Sloan won 235 games in 15 seasons served over two stints in which he raised expectations for the basketball program at the Southeastern Conference school. Donovan is 235-100 in his 11th season with the defending national champions.
Joakim Noah had a dominating performance despite only taking five shots and finishing with seven points, 17 rebounds and six blocks for Florida (9-2), which relied on the outside shooting of Humphrey, Hodge and Dan Werner to build a 17-point halftime.
Florida played without leading scorer and rebounder Al Horford, who sat out the game because of a high ankle sprain. The Gators have one more tuneup, Wednesday night against Stetson, before next Saturday highly anticipated home matchup against No. 4 Ohio State and the hope is Horford can rejoin the lineup by then.
Corey Brewer returned for Florida after missing the previous three games with mononucleosis. He had three points and four rebounds in 11 minutes, while Chris Richard had six points and four rebounds filling in for Horford, who sat on the bench wearing a protective boot on his left foot.
Leslie Robinson had 11 points and Brian Greene added 10 for Florida A&M (5-6), which had won four straight after 1-5 start that included losses to Maryland, Illinois, Miami and Bradley.

I see ya, FAM...in fact, I saw ya when you guys put up a fight against Kentucky in round one of the NCAA tournament a few years back...Terrence Woods kept things really interesting...any one knows where he is now? I still crack a smile whenever I see Woods' performance in a collegiate three-point shootout where he beat players from some of the top schools...
