* Walter Clayton Jr. eclipsed the 2,000-point career scoring mark during Friday’s game. He is one of five four-year players active this season to cross that milestone.
* Clayton Jr.’s 1,235 points over his two seasons at UF trail only the legendary Neal Walk’s scoring output over a two-season span (1,312; 1967-69). His 194 3-pointers trail only Lee Humphrey (226, 2005-07) for most by a Gator over two seasons. Clayton has made a 3-pointer in a Florida record 57 consecutive appearances.
