UNDATED (AP) — Florida got the better of in-state rival Florida State, and knocked off the No. 20 Seminoles 71-55.

Colin Castleton had 15 points, a career-high 16 rebounds and six blocks, as the Gators ended a seven-game losing streak to Florida State. Four Florida players scored in double figures.

The victory came 11 months after Florida standout Keyontae Johnson collapsed on the court in Tallahassee. Johnson hasn’t played since, and the Gators dedicated the game to him.

— In the 169th meeting since 1920 between western New York rivals, No. 23 St. Bonaventure had to rally to beat Canisius 69-60. Canisius led for much of the early part of the game, but the Bonnies used a 15-3 run to dig out of an 11-point deficit.
