MORGANTOWN, W.VA. — Colin Castleton led the way for Florida in the second half — on offense and defense.
Castleton scored 15 of his 21 points after halftime, and the Gators beat No. 11 West Virginia 85-80 on Saturday in the Big 12-SEC Challenge.
Castleton also led the defensive effort on West Virginia’s Derek Culver after he scored 21 in the first half. Culver finished with a career-high 28, but was bottled up late in the game and took fewer trips to the free-throw line.
“I thought Colin was really good defensively in the second half,” Florida coach Mike White said.
