10* College Game of the Month
(NCAAB) Florida vs. Vanderbilt, 03/04/2017 9:00 AM, Score: 71 - 73
Point Spread: 4.00 | -115.00 Vanderbilt (Home)
Result: Win
Vanderbilt shocked the Gators in Gainesville 68-66, becoming the only team to beat Florida on its campus this year. Vanderbilt has Florida's number and they are a decent team, winner of four of their last five and just gave Kentucky all they could handle. The Commodores are 88th in the nation in scoring defense as they give up an average of 68.9 points per game. Vanderbilt's resume is unique. According to CBSsports.com's RPI, the Commodores have the No. 2 strength of schedule in the country -- that should rise to No. 1, since the Gators are No. 3 in the RPI -- and the toughest out-of-conference slate, too. This is Vandy's final regular season game and a MUST WIN if they want to make it into the big dance. They have a unique arena and with their defense, scoring could be difficult for the Gators. Vanderbilt knows how to connect from the 3-point line led by Luke Kornet and that will be the difference this afternoon as Vandy has 4 players averaging 10 or more points and have a balanced attack and get the upset this afternoon at home.
