Things are looking a bit better for Florida basketball after a brutal start to Southeastern Conference play that saw it drop its opening three games for the first time in 40 years. With wins over the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Mississippi State Bulldogs since, things are looking a little more encouraging in Gainesville.
On Saturday, the Gators host the Vanderbilt Commodores for an early afternoon tilt in the O’Connell Center. Jerry Stackhouse’s team brings in a 10-7 record overall and an identical SEC mark as Florida at 2-3. Despite the similarities in records, UF is the superior team in this matchup — at least on paper and in the NET rankings.
