Florida upends Auburn for seismic win: The Florida Gators sporting event that you couldn’t have helped but notice this weekend involved Florida’s men’s basketball team — but it was those Gators getting a big win instead of taking a painful loss that was the order of the day on Saturday.
Florida fought tooth and nail for its 63-62 upset of No. 2 Auburn, rallying from a nine-point deficit early in the second half — after a spectacular run from the Tigers fueled by freshman phenom Jabari Smith — and holding on despite a series of mistakes down the stretch.
