Tennessee basketball is No.1 no more. The Florida Gators greeted the Volunteers with a harsh welcome on Tuesday night, obliterating Rick Barnes’ squad, 73-43, in the Stephen C. O’Connell Center. It was a brutal beatdown that puts the program in the kind of ratified air no one wants to breathe.

Tennessee is the first undefeated top-ranked team to lose by 25 or more points since 1968, according to SEC Network. This outcome will be a tough one for Vols fans to swallow, as they do their best to stay optimistic.
