GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Trae Golden scored 17 points, Jeronne Maymon added 15 points and 11 rebounds and Tennessee upset No. 8 Florida 75-70 Saturday, ending the Gators’ home-winning streak at 19.
Coming off a 20-point loss at top-ranked Kentucky and wearing gray uniforms to commemorate the program’s back-to-back national championships in 2006 and 2007, Florida trailed by double digits early and never mustered anything resembling a comeback.
Skylar McBee had 13 points for Tennessee, which swept the season series for the first time since 2009.
