Vandy currently holds a 15-11 (7-7) record and hopes of a chance to make the NCAA tourney with a win on their home court against the visiting Gators. Florida comes in with a 25-2 overall record while holding a perfect 14-0 mark in league play. The Gators also have a lot to play for including trying to finish out the SEC with an unblemished record while notching another regular season title. There is also that #1 seed and the possibility of an overall #1 seeding riding on the next few games. History has shown that Memorial Gymnasium with it's odd configuration to be a hard place for opposing teams to play.
As a Gator fan, Nashville has not been very good to the Gators the past few years. Neither has at UK or UT but this senior laden team overcame those 2 tough tests. Tonight is another tough one. Kasey hill is out for UF which is a big loss. He was a 1/2 punch behind Wilbekin that added another dimension on the offense. With him out with a groin injury and Patric Young limping, this looks like a possible loss to me. -8.5 is a lot of points for UF. I don't see them covering. UF has gotten out of the blocks slow of late so Vandy +4.5 first half is a great bet as well. UF is however a good 2nd half team.
I'm riding Vandy +4.5 first half and +8.5 for the game and will probably take UF 2nd half depending on the line. This might be a good spot to sprinkle a bit on Vandy ML as well.
