Justin Leon scores 17, Florida beats Mercer 76-54
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Florida’s biggest weakness last season looks like it could be a strength now.
Justin Leon scored a career-high 17 points, KeVaughn Allen added 13 and the Gators handled Mercer 76-54 on Sunday night.
Playing in Jacksonville for the second time in three days, Florida (2-0) celebrated another lopsided victory. Leon, Allen and the Gators’ improved free-throw shooting had a lot to do with the latest one.
Leon was 6-of-10 shooting, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range, and had five rebounds.
