Vanderbilt is finally living up to expectations after a sluggish start to the season, peaking at just the right time to boosts its NCAA Tournament hopes.
Another SEC team is headed the wrong direction.
Once in solid position to make the bracket, Florida finds itself on the outside of the bubble after a disappointing loss to No. 22 Kentucky on Tuesday, the Gators’ fourth straight.
“We let a lot of cheap games go by that we could’ve had, but this is where we’re at and we just got to continue to fight and continue to battle,” sophomore John Egbunu said after the 88-79 home loss to the Wildcats. “We still have a few games in the SEC tournament coming up.”
The Gators may need to win it at this point.
