Kansas State played in-Florida’s-face defense to upset the No. 8/9 Gators 67-61 on Saturday night. It was the Wildcats’ first win against a top-10 team since 1961.

It was Florida’s second loss in the past three games after falling 65-64 at Arizona a week ago. The Gators (8-2) next play Air Force on Dec. 29 in Sunrise, Fla.

The Wildcats (9-2) used relentless man pressure to prevent Florida (9-2) from getting many open looks at the basket, resulting in the Gators’ second lowest offensive output of the season. They shot just 24 of 57 (40.1 percent) from the field, including 5 of 19 (26.3 percent) from three-point range.
