No. 1 Tennessee loses first game, falls at No. 8 Florida

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Alijah Martin scored 18 points, Denzel Aberdeen added 16 and No. 8 Florida thumped top-ranked Tennessee 73-43 on Tuesday night to knock off the last unbeaten team in Division I basketball.

Alex Condon chipped in 12 points and 12 rebounds for his second double-double this season as the Gators (14-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) beat a No. 1 team for the third time in school history -- the first in six tries at home -- and extended their home-winning streak to 16.

Florida, a 2 1/2-point favorite according to BetMGM Sportsbook, dominated from the opening tip.
