The Vanderbilt Commodores and the Florida Gators will meet in Nashville on Saturday for the semifinals of SEC Tournament. Vanderbilt is coming off a nice win against in-state rival Tennessee and should have a nice home crowd in this one, too. The Commodores are enjoying a historic season, but they have a tough task against the Gators. Florida has won 12 straight games and is playing better than any team in the country. I am going to ride the hot hand and back Florida to cover the spread.

The Gators should dominate the paint. I expect them to win the rebound battle and impose their will on the Commodores. According to KenPom, Florida is ranked #2 nationally in offensive rebound percentage; Vanderbilt’s defense is ranked #210. Florida is the much bigger team and is ranked #12 in average height; Vanderbilt is ranked #208. Florida’s big men should be too much for Vanderbilt here, so let’s roll with the favorites to cover. The Gators are quite simply one of the best teams in the nation.

Vanderbilt vs Florida prediction: Florida -8 (-115) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
