It's Vanderbilt and Florida in the semi-finals of the Southeastern Conference tournament at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Florida has won and covered the past two meetings, with both going over the total, but Florida has gone under 20 of their games this season. They might not be as strong as their national championship team from last season, but they're pretty close and sharp. They know how to score, get to the free-throw line, and win. They're getting better each week as a cohesive unit that just won the SEC with a 16-2 record. They have an active streak of 12 wins in a row. Florida to cover.
I love this spot for Florida now having a game under its belt in the SEC Tournament. This should be a fast paced game and the Gators excel in these matchups. The other issue Vanderbilt has here is its a poor rebounding team. Florida kills teams they can dominate on the boards. I expect the Gators to pull away and win by double digits. I took -6.5 at BetMGM. Play up to -8.5.
