Five key takeaways from Florida basketball’s rout of Florida State

Here is what you need to know following Florida’s huge home win over Florida State.

A week to the day ago, Walter Clayton Jr. had one of those nights anyone would want to forget.

A week later, it went a little better.

Clayton sparked the rout with 12 first-half points as the Gators made it three and a row over the hated ‘Noles – and two in a row for Todd Golden – with an 89-68 win that was over before the first 20 minutes expired.

Florida, now 3-1 on the season, led 52-22 at the half in a game that still had its share of chippy behavior.

Clayton led Florida with 19 points before fouling out with 1:47 to play.

Here are the five key takeaways from the Gators’ beatdown of the Seminoles.
