Florida Gators Beat No. 1 Auburn, End 14-Game Winning Streak

In a surprising upset, the Florida Gators defeated the top-ranked Auburn Tigers 90-81, with standout performances from Walter Clayton Jr. and Alex Condon. Clayton Jr. scored 19 points and contributed significantly with nine assists, showcasing his dynamic scoring ability and leadership on the court. Auburn attempted a late comeback but couldn't overcome a 21-point deficit, despite Miles Kelly scoring a season-high 22 points and Johni Broome achieving his 74th career double-double. Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl praised Florida's game plan and their ability to respond to adversity despite missing a key player. The defeat highlighted Auburn's defensive vulnerabilities, particularly against Florida's effective perimeter shooting, as the Gators made 13 three-pointers, the most allowed by Auburn this season. Looking ahead, Auburn needs to improve in rebounding and offensive execution as they prepare for upcoming games against Vanderbilt and Alabama.
