-LANDOVER, Md. -- For once, coach [[calipari_john|John Calipari]] didn't give his larynx a workout. Didn't have to. His Massachusetts Minutemen dominated Florida from the outset of yesterday's Franklin National Bank Classic final and breezed to an 80-58 rout.

 Tournament Most Valuable Player [[camby_marcus|Marcus Camby]] had a game-high 30 points, [[dingle_dana|Dana Dingle]] had 12 rebounds and [[padilla_edgar|Edgar Padilla]] had 10 assists for fifth-ranked UMass (3-0).

 With Florida mired in a shooting slump (the Gators went 7 minutes without a point), the Minutemen kept scoring. Camby made it 27-13 on a bucket underneath (assist Padilla) with 4:14 left and added two free throws with 2:50 to go to make it 31-13.
-Camby has scored at least 30 points in two of the Minutemen's three games. ''I have improved my level of confidence from last year," he said. "I have just worked hard on my game, working on my jumper."

But Dingle scored on a 3-point play and Camby followed with four free throws. End of rally. All that was left was the final horn.

 "When we cut it to 14 we got into our trap defense and they were able to get easy baskets because of our breakdowns," said Hill. "That was our fault."
-Calipari had no qualms about any facet of his team's play, but he did take exception to the fact that Camby was the only UMass player selected to the all-tournament team. When asked about UMass' next matchup -- against [[opponent_wake_forest|Wake Forest]] Wednesday -- Calipari chided the fourth estate about billing the game as a matchup between Camby and Wake Forest standout center [[wp>Tim Duncan]].

-"It's a lot of pressure on our kids, especially Marcus, with this game being played up as Camby vs. Duncan," said Calipari. "It's not fair to Marcus. It's UMass vs. Wake Forest."

 Tell that to the 22 pro scouts scheduled to attend. UMass sports information director Bill Strickland said he expects that number to climb over the next few days. Camby, meanwhile, played down the matchup yesterday. "I haven't really thought about it yet," he said. "The next couple of days I'll look forward to it."

 On the strength of Camby's outside shooting UMass went on a 26-7 run to close out the half with a 37-18 lead. The run included a 7:05 stretch where UMass’ stingy defense held Florida to no field goals (16-0 run).
-“UMass really got the respect of our guys,” said Florida coach Lenny Kruegger.  “They’re touch, they’re hard-nosed, and they go to the ball aggressively.  They got our attention.”

 UMass pulled away in the second half increasing its lead to a game-high 29 points. Although Florida made a couple of small runs getting as close as 14 on a Dametri Hill three-point play, UMass went on to win the game 80-58.
