The history of modern men's basketball pointed to the fact Tennessee was going to lose sooner or later. Nobody expected the Vols to be so thoroughly dispatched in their first defeat.

Florida went wire-to-wire, never trailing against Tennessee. The Volunteers didn't get their first point until the 13:19 mark of the first half, and their offense didn't improve much from there.

Rick Barnes' squad shot 21.4 percent from the field and went 4-of-29 from beyond the arc. It was an impressive defensive display from Florida, which has excelled at that end of the floor all season.

The race for the SEC looks like it could be wide open with Kentucky also going down 82-69 to unranked Georgia and then beating No. 14 Mississippi State 95-90 away from home.

Auburn's wins over Texas and South Carolina came by eight combined points. and the Tigers will be without star forward Johni Broome indefinitely, though ESPN's Jeff Borzello reported he doesn't need surgery.

Tennessee likewise struggled to put Texas away until the final minute of a 74-70 win Saturday.

As much as the Tigers and Vols have done to emerge as the early favorites for the SEC's regular-season title, plenty of worthwhile challengers could emerge.

The other major upset in Week 10 involved the two-time reigning national champion.

UConn's three-game losing streak in the Maui Invitational already felt like a distant memory once the Huskies reeled off eight straight wins. Their momentum ground to a halt last Wednesday as they lost 68-66 to Villanova.

Jaylin Stewart trimmed UConn's deficit to just one point with 1:20 on the clock, and a defensive stop provided Dan Hurley's team with an opportunity to notch the go-ahead bucket.

Jordan Longino denied Alex Karaban close to the basket with a little more than 20 seconds remaining, though a Longino foul on Karaban a little later sent the UConn forward to the charity stripe for two free throws with 3.1 seconds left. Karaban hit the back iron on both attempts as the Huskies watched a possible win slip away.

Hurley offered some sage advice to the redshirt junior after the game.

Karaban responded with a game-high 19 points as UConn beat Georgetown 68-60, so maybe reminiscing on the championship runs helped.

Hurley nonetheless might be a little worried that five of the Huskies' first six Big East games have been decided by single digits.

Week 11 might help to create some separation at the top of the SEC. Tuesday features three Top 25 matchups within the conference (Mississippi State vs. Auburn, Ole Miss vs. Alabama and Texas A&M vs. Kentucky). Kentucky then hosts Alabama in Lexington on Saturday.

Iowa State's perfect 4-0 start in the Big 12 will be put to the test. The Cyclones welcome in Kansas on Wednesday before hitting the road to play West Virginia on Saturday.
