Following a pair of losses to Arkansas and Kentucky after losing Colin Castleton to a season-ending injury the Gators will be challenged once again Saturday taking on the Vanderbilt Commodores.
This will be the second meeting of the two teams this season with Vanderbilt getting the first win of the season, picking apart Florida’s defense on their way to an 88-80 victory. At the time, it was looking like the Commodores were going to go on a bit of a run and give themselves an outside shot at making the NCAA Tournament. Beating the Gators gave them a three-game winning streak and they followed that game up with wins over South Carolina and Auburn, gaining momentum and building a bit of a resume.
