Game Preview: Florida returns to home to host Vanderbilt Commodores

Take a look at the key players and more for the Florida Gators basketball matchup with Vanderbilt.

There are only five games left in the regular season for Florida basketball, and after a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide, the Orange and Blue are returning to the Swamp to host the Vanderbilt Commodores.

Exactech Arena is listed as sold out for Saturday afternoon’s contest and the Gators will lean on the Rowdy Reptiles so they can collect its fifth consecutive home win. Florida has played comfortably in the O’Dome this season, holding an 11-1 record when the home crowd is watching their back.

Saturday will be the first of two meetings between the Gators and Commodores, with the second matchup slated as the final game of the regular season on March 9. Let’s take a look at how the squads will line up at tipoff.
