Chaz Lanier, No. 1 Tennessee Trolled By CBB Fans for Blowout Loss vs. No. 8 Florida

The No. 1 team and final unbeaten squad in college basketball has fallen.

Top-ranked Tennessee lost to No. 8 Florida in blowout fashion, 73-43 on Tuesday in Gainesville. The Vols came into the game 14-0 riding the momentum of a big win over No. 23 Arkansas on Saturday.

It was an uncharacteristically poor shooting night from Tennessee as the Vols shot 21.4 percent from the field and a dreadful 13.8 percent from deep. Tennessee also made just 62.5 percent of its free throws.

The offensive struggles were most noticeable for star guard Chaz Lanier, who came into the game putting up 20.3 points per game. The North Florida transfer had just 10 points on 3-of-16 from the field and 1-of-9 from deep.

After the embarrassing loss, fans called out the Vols for failing to show up in Gainesville.

The good news for Tennessee is that it will get a fairly manageable three-game stretch to forget about Tuesday night's dud. The Vols will face Texas, Georgia and Vanderbilt before a gauntlet at the end of January when they'll play Mississippi State, Auburn, Kentucky and Florida again.

Florida faced its first loss of the season on Saturday against Kentucky, but the Gators quickly bounced back with arguably the best win in all of college basketball this season. They'll look to keep their momentum going when they face Arkansas on Saturday.
