AUBURN, Ala.—Sixth-ranked Florida made program history with its victory over No. 1 Auburn on Saturday.

It wasn’t the Gators’ 90–81 win over the Tigers that'll find its way into the program’s record books. Florida had already taken down a top-ranked team this season, beating then- No. 1 Tennessee 73–43 on Jan. 7.
