Vanderbilt 72, Florida 62: We’re probably in the tournament at this point

In one game, Vanderbilt caught fire from beyond the arc. In another game, Vanderbilt got good production inside even if they couldn’t hit from outside. In a third game, Vanderbilt’s defense smothered the other team.

In all three games, Vanderbilt beat Florida, and I think that’s the most important thing here. If we’re being generous, Florida is the third-most-disliked team in the SEC for Vanderbilt fans (fourth if you’re me, because Ole Miss), but it always feels good to beat a rival three times. It’s the first time that Vanderbilt has beaten Florida three times in one season since 1989-90.
