Florida probably won't win at Kentucky on Saturday, which means beating Vanderbilt at home is somewhat important to securing a berth.FoxSports' Jeff Goodman ranked the VU/UF matchup as the fourth best game of the week:
Kevin Stallings’s team is playing for a seed, while Billy Donovan and the Gators could use this one to secure an NCAA tournament berth.Finally, CBSsports' Gary Parrish admitted why he's 'dumber than he thinks' in his Monday Look Back column:
At this point I should just keep quiet about Vanderbilt, let Kevin Stallings continue to win games and never do anything to remind folks I'm the guy who picked the Commodores to finish fifth in the SEC East. But is that what I do? Nope. For some reason, I felt the need to pick Vandy to lose at Arkansas just before Vandy went to Arkansas and rolled to Saturday's 89-72 win that had Vandy fans publicly mocking me, just like always.
