No. 6 Florida 67, Tennessee 41: Michael Frazier II scored 17 points as the host Gators rolled past the Volunteers in Southeastern Conference play.

Scottie Wilbekin added 13 points and Casey Prather scored 12 as Florida (17-2, 6-0) won its 11th consecutive game and stretched its home winning streak to 26. Patric Young had 10 points for the Gators, who held Tennessee to 26.8 percent from the field and 1-of-19 from 3-point range while ending a three-game losing streak against the Volunteers.

Jarnell Stokes had 16 points and 10 rebounds for Tennessee (12-7, 3-3), which posted its lowest scoring output of the season. Leading scorer Jordan McRae suffered through a miserable 1-of-15 shooting performance and scored a season-low five points.

The Gators used a 13-1 run in the second half to build a 47-24 advantage with 10:49 remaining. A 12-0 burst later in the half stretched the lead to 32 points with under three minutes left.

Tennessee led 14-13 midway through the first half but scored just five points the rest of the period to trail 26-19 at the break. The Volunteers were again within seven early in the second half before Florida scored the next six points to begin pulling away.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Frazier made three 3-pointers and has eight over the past two games. … McRae scored a season-high 34 points against Arkansas on Wednesday and had a 27-point outing in a win over the Gators last season. … Florida’s home winning streak is tied with Stephen F. Austin for the second-longest active streak in the country behind Duke (28).
