For the second time in a week, a top-four team graced a sold-out O'Connell Center with its presence.

Auburn couldn't buy a bucket against UF, losing by double-digits last Saturday.

This Saturday, however, Baylor had all of the answers.

The Bears pummeled the Gators on the glass and used its stifling defense to shut down Florida's offensive attack.

UF lost on the boards 37-26 and allowed the Bears to defend it at a high level on the three-point line, as the No. 1 team in the country handed the Gators its second home loss of the season 72-61.
