"When you're playing a team like Murray State, they're going to keep throwing punches and throwing punches, and you have to find a way to slow them down," Johnson-Odom said. "We did a great job of that today."
Number 7 seed Florida, meanwhile, dismantled upset-minded Norfolk State by a final score of 84-50.
