1. The last unbeaten falls (with a thud)

If there were any doubters about Florida’s legitimacy as a top-10 team, the Gators silenced them on Wednesday. No. 8 Florida didn’t just beat No. 1 Tennessee. It absolutely dominated them wire-to-wire, walking away with a 73-43 win in front of a raucous home crowd.

Tennessee became the first unbeaten AP No. 1 to lose by 25+ since 1968 in what was the second-largest loss as the top-ranked team in college basketball history. The Vols also scored the third-fewest points by an AP No. 1 in the shot clock era and were held to just four made field goals in the first half, their fewest since 2015. Tennessee shot 21.4% from the field and 13.8% from beyond the arc. Florida had more offensive rebounds (19) than Tennessee’s made field goals (12). And this was vs. a Florida defense that just gave up 106 points to Kentucky!

Senior guard Alijah Martin was huge for the Gators, finishing with 18 points, six rebounds and two steals. Junior guard Denzel Aberdeen joined Martin in double-figure scoring off the bench with 16 points, and sophomore big man Alex Condon added 12 points and 12 rebounds. And this was on a night when senior guard Walter Clayton Jr., who has a case for being a First-Team All-American, was held to just seven points.

“Our mental toughness wasn’t where it needed to be to win that [Kentucky] game on the road,” coach Todd Golden said. “I thought tonight we played with great mental and physical toughness for 40 minutes. Top to bottom I thought all eight guys who played answered the bell. And we obviously guarded incredibly well tonight… This is a great result for us and hopefully this continues to catapult us through the rest of the season.”

As John Martin pointed out on After Dark, Florida (14-1, 1-1 in SEC) is the first team since 1997 to allow one top-10 team to score 100 points and then hold another to 45 or fewer in the same season. Golden and the Gators did it in back-to-back games.

Among a loaded SEC, Florida has some breathing room now. Its next five games come against unranked opponents before it plays Tennessee again in Knoxville on Feb. 1. Meanwhile, the Vols (14-1, 1-1) will play No. 2 Auburn, No. 6 Kentucky, No. 14 Mississippi State, as well as Texas, Georgia and Vanderbilt before these two squads clash again.

2. Cooper Flagg reminds us he’s must-see TV

With apologies to what Coen Carr regularly does for Michigan State, we might have seen the dunk of the year on Tuesday night.
