GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) Dorian Finney-Smith scored 24 points, Kasey Hill added 14 off the bench and Florida continued its dominance against Auburn with a 95-63 victory Saturday night.

Chris Choizza (14 points), John Egbunu (12) and KeVaughn Allen (11) also reached double figures for the Gators (13-6, 5-2 Southeastern Conference), who won their third consecutive game and ninth in a row against the Tigers (9-9, 3-4).

Auburn has dropped 19 of 20 in the series, including 11 straight in Gainesville.

This was as lopsided as any of them.

Florida opened up a double-digit lead in the first five minutes of the game and was ahead 31-10 a short time later. Auburn coach Bruce Pearl called timeout, changed personnel and switched defenses, but nothing worked.

Tyler Harris led the Tigers with 14 points. Leading scorer Kareem Canty finished with 12 on 6-of-14 shooting. Canty was 0 for 6 from 3-point range.
