Florida coach Todd Golden scored his first signature win Wednesday with the Gators’ 67-54 upset over No. 2 Tennessee.
Trailing by six points in the second half, UF scored 13 unanswered points and went on a 22-5 run to take control of the game.
Colin Castleton led the effort with 16 of his team-high 20 points coming after the break. Kyle Lofton added 14 points and four assists as he and Will Richard both posted a massive +26 plus-minus.
Florida earned its sixth top-2 win in program history and matched the highest-ranked win on its home floor. The 13-point win also marked the Gators’ largest margin of victory against a top-2 opponent.
“It was just an awesome night for us, for our program, and for our guys,” Golden said after the game. “I’m really happy for them that they get to enjoy this.”
