TAMPA - So the Florida Gators can dominate inferior opponents away from the O'Connell Center, too.
Freshman guard Nick Calathes scored 21 points and center Marreese Speights posted 17 points and seven rebounds across the bay from his hometown of St. Petersburg, as the Gators wiped undersized and overwhelmed Vermont from the St. Pete Times Forum floor in an 86-61 victory before 12,908.
Point guard Jai Lucas, one of Calathes' freshman classmates, added 15 points and seven assists in the first game outside the confines of Gainesville for the two-time defending national champs.
