Boogie Fland<\/a> scored 16 points to lead seven players in double figures for the top-seeded Gators (27-7), whose 59-point margin fell short of only Loyola Chicago<\/a>‘s 111-42 win over Tennessee Tech<\/a> in 1963. Florida advanced to face the South Region’s No. 9 seed, Iowa<\/a>, in the second round on Sunday.<\/p>\n Florida’s 114 points were the most in the NCAA tournament since Tennessee<\/a> had 121 against Long Beach State<\/a> in 2007 in the Round of 64, according to ESPN Research.<\/p>\n Florida went on runs of 18-0 and 17-0 in the first half to turn a 15-all tie into a 60-21 lead at the break. The Gators shot 75% before halftime and 64.3% for the game against the 16th-seeded Panthers (19-18).<\/p>\n Late in the second half, 7-foot-9 freshman Olivier Rioux<\/a> — the world’s tallest teenager before he turned 20 last month — got in on the action with a putback dunk.<\/p>\n Fland made all six of his shots. Rueben Chinyelu<\/a> had 14 points and 13 rebounds, while the other two members of a dominant frontcourt — Thomas Haugh<\/a> and Alex Condon<\/a> — finished with 14 and 13 points, respectively.<\/p>\n Prairie View didn’t have a 2-point basket through the first nine minutes, but kept pace early by converting five of its first seven 3-point attempts to pull even at 15-all.<\/p>\n Chinyelu scored nine points during the ensuing 18-0 run, and the rout was on before a sellout crowd in what essentially was a home game with coach Todd Golden’s squad playing only a two-hour drive south of its campus in Gainesville.<\/p>\n Condon, Haugh, Chinyelu and Fland all reached double-figure scoring in the first half.<\/p>\n Prairie View made it to March Madness after going 5-27 a season earlier. The Panthers defeated Lehigh<\/a> in the First Four. The school has now endured two of the three largest losses in NCAA tournament history, according to ESPN Research; Prairie View lost to Kansas<\/a> by 58 in 1998’s Round of 64.<\/p>\nFlorida’s bench celebrates in the second half of Friday night’s rout against Prairie View A&M.\u00a0Mike Carlson\/Getty Images<\/p>\n
