ORLANDO -- Blame it on the T-shirt.

Justin Leon did. Kind of.

The Florida senior said he stopped wearing his trademark T-shirt under his jersey for Saturday night's game against Virginia.

“I was trying to find something different,” he said. “I was like maybe if I take off my undershirt, I would probably make some more shots. So I did it and hey.”

Hey, indeed.

Leon's three big 3-point shots, one late in the first half and two early in the second, were part of a 21-0 run that allowed Florida to distance itself from Virginia and roll to a 65-39 win in the NCAA second-round game at the Amway Center.
