Game Preview
The No. 22 Commodores (25-7, 11-7 SEC) are making a solid run as they are on pace to secure an At-Large bid to the NCAA Tournament if they don’t win the conference tournament. They secured a bye to the quarterfinals as they took down the Tennessee Volunteers to reach the semifinals. Duke Miles scored a season-high 30 points, including 17 in the second half, to lead Vanderbilt to the win over Tennessee.
The No. 4 Gators (26-6, 16-2 SEC) look to add the SEC Championship to their collection after securing the regular-season title. They have won their last 12 games, taking down the Kentucky Wildcats in the quarterfinals to advance to the semifinals. Alex Condon was a problem in the post as he ended up being the player of the game. He finished with 22 points, 10 rebounds and a pair of blocks to lead Florida past Kentucky.
