The last day of the second day at Battle 4 Atlantis (local time):
8:50 p.m.
Deaundrae Ballard scored 19 points, his career best, to help Florida defeat Stanford 72-49 in Thursday's consolation group at Battle 4 Atlantis.
KeVaughn Allen added 13 points to the Gators (3-2), who arrived in the Bahamas with an offense that had not given the results expected by coach Mike White. They then scored 60 points in Oklahoma's first-round defeat, leaving White to say that trust was a problem for his team.
Things went smoothly against the cardinal (2-3). Florida shot 52%, including 7 of 15 3 points.
The Gators took things in hand as soon as the Stanford offensive was sprayed. Florida led 32-13 at the break, the lowest point in half a point under their fourth-year coach.
Cormac Ryan scored 12 points for Stanford, which earned him 5 throws out of 23 with 13 turnovers in the first half who basically decided to do it.
Florida plays Friday in the match for fifth place, while Stanford plays for seventh place.

"Andre Hunter" tied his career record with 23 points to help fourth-place Virginia beat Dayton 66-59 Thursday in the semifinals of Battle 4 Atlantis.
Hunter made a 3-point with 53.1 seconds to go and Virginia protecting a 60-56 lead. It turned out we had just enough cushion to keep the Cavaliers (5-0) under control and send them into the championship game on Friday against No. 25 Wisconsin.
Virginia shot 50% in the second half.
Ty Jerome added 15 points for Virginia and Kyle Guy had 14.
Josh Cunningham led Dayton (4-1) with 15 points. The Flyers shot 55% in the second half and remained within reach each time the Cavaliers threatened to dig the two-digit gap.
Dayton will face Oklahoma Friday in the match for third place.

4:35 p.m.
The 3-point shooting display of D & # 39; Mitrik Trice broke a Battle 4 Atlantis tournament record and nearly equaled another.
Trice scored seven goals to three in the 78-58 win over Oklahoma, Wisconsin, number 25, in Thursday's semifinal. That broke the previous record of six matches in a match, set by UConn's Shabazz Napier in the first edition in November 2011.
Michael Gbinije of Syracuse tied that mark against Charlotte in November 2015.
Trice started with 7 of 7, but he missed with about 6 minutes to finish at 7 of 8, which prevented him from becoming the third player to get 100% behind the arc with at least five attempts.
Not bad for a guy who missed his three points in Wednesday's first-round win over Stanford, although Trice said, "It was just a day that the shot went off."

D & # 039; Mitrik Trice set career highs with 25 points and a record of seven tournaments to help Wisconsin No. 25 beat Oklahoma 78-58 in Thursday's semifinal at Battle 4 Atlantis.
Trice started 7 for 7 from behind the bow, the last came when he faked a defender and got to his right to bury the shot for a 66-47 lead with 6:22 left. But he finally missed a 3 minus one minute later to finish at 7 for 8.
It was also the first missed 3 after half-time for the Badgers (5-0), who made 8 of 9 after half-time and 14 of 22 for the match. Wisconsin shot 59% in the second half, using a 10-0 run to open the game and win a trip in the championship game on Friday.
Christian James scored 18 points for the Sooners (4-1), who shot 47% but failed to slow the Badgers' second-period run.

2:15 p.m.
The Battle 4 Atlantis resumes with a four-game Thanksgiving match, including semi-finals for fourth place Virginia and No. 25 Wisconsin in the Bahamas.
The Badgers beat Stanford and qualify for Thursday's first semifinal against Oklahoma, who beat Florida in Wednesday's first round.
The next semi-final will feature the Cavaliers against Dayton.
The consolation bracket will feature a power conference match between Florida's Southeastern Conference and Stanford of the Pac-12. There is also a match between Butler and Middle Tennessee.
The tournament is held at the Imperial Arena, a converted ballroom that can seat approximately 3,500 spectators. It ends Friday.
