Florida vs. Vanderbilt predictions, picks

When the Gators beat the ‘Dores in Nashville earlier this year, the backcourt was still figuring things out. This Florida team, despite the rust it showed from the perimeter on Friday afternoon, is a much better squad than that one while Vandy has regressed a bit from its hot start.

This might be a de facto home game for Vanderbilt, but Golden’s gang will find a way to punch their ticket back to the finals.

PREDICTION: Florida 87, Vanderbilt 77
