Florida suffered another crushing home loss — this time to a Vanderbilt team that, at best, is on the bubble of reaching the NCAA tournament.
The Commodores came out firing on all cylinders and played with desperation.
They jumped all over the Gators from the opening tip and never trailed once en route to the program’s first victory in the O’Connell Center since 2010.
Vandy center Damian Jones played like a man possessed, hitting 12-of-13 shots and finishing with a career-high 27 points and seven rebounds.
The Gators had no answers for the unstoppable junior in the post.
