Playing Kansas State, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alabama is as difficult of a four-game stretch as the Gators are going to play this season and after going 1-3 they’ll now need to take care of teams they’re expected to beat if they want to make the NCAA Tournament.
That begins Saturday as the Gators will take on the Vanderbilt Commodores at home. Florida currently sits 7th in the SEC at 6-5 (13-11 on the season) and the Commodores sit a few spots back at 9th, sporting a 5-6 record in the league while going 12-12 overall.
Vanderbilt is 106th in the NCAA’s NET Rankings, making this a quadrant-3 game for the Gators.
