Kenny Boynton hit two 3-pointers in overtime, and Florida pushed its winning streak to five with a 81-75 victory over Tennessee Tuesday in Knoxville, Tenn.

The Gators (13-3, 2-0 SEC) used a 9-2 run in overtime to take control. Boynton sparked the surge, opening the scoring in overtime with a 3-pointer with 3:37 left, breaking a 68-68 tie. After Tennessee cut the lead to 74-70, Boynton’s 3-pointer with 45 seconds remaining pushed the lead to 77-70.

Boynton scored eight of his 17 points in overtime. Alex Tyus led four Gators in double figures with 18 points. Chandler Parsons hit four 3-pointers, finishing with 16 points.

Tennessee (10-6, 0-2) led 27-21 late in the first half before an 11-4 run gave Florida a 32-31 halftime lead. The Gators led by as many as seven in the second half before the Volunteers tied the game at 64-64 on Trae Golden’s steal and layup with 3:52 remaining. Tennessee's Brian Williams’ follow tied it at 68-68 with 1:44 left.

Cameron Tatum scored 21 points to lead Tennessee, which has lost three of four. Tennessee played the game without head coach Bruce Pearl, who served the second game of an eight-game SEC suspension for lying to NCAA investigators.

Florida plays host to South Carolina Saturday, then plays three of its next four on the road. The Volunteers head to Vanderbilt Saturday before playing four of their next five away from home.
