What Happened KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Senior guard Walter Clayton Jr. was the high scorer for Florida, but he was hardly the story of the 18th-ranked Gators' 88-51 absolute annihilation Friday of Wichita State in the championship game of the ESPN Events Invitational at State Farm Field House. Clayton threw in 19 points, including five 3-pointers, but it was UF's frighteningly efficient performance on both ends of the floor that led to one of the lopsided outcomes of this era of Florida basketball.
