For the first five minutes of the game, the Florida Gators gave the No. 1 team in the country all they could handle. The Gators led No. 1 Baylor for the first 12:45 of the game, in fact, but Baylor proved why they’re the top-ranked team in the country in a 72-61 win in Gainesville on Saturday night.
The loss dropped Florida to just 2-17 all-time against AP No. 1 ranked teams and 0-4 under Mike White.
Keyontae Johnson came out of the gates with his hair on fire. The sophomore scored the first seven Florida points and Florida led Baylor by as much as eight in the first seven minutes.
