#636 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Vanderbilt pick-em over Florida, Tuesday at 8:30 PM ET - Vandy is playing their home finale here and they’ll have some extra motivation to knock off Florida after they played perhaps their worst game of the season earlier this year in Gainesville losing 61-42. To say the Commodores played poorly on offense would be an understatement. They made only 29% of their shots, just 17% from deep and only 52% from the FT line. They averaged only 0.72 PPP in that loss which is WAY down from their season average of 1.06 PPP. It was a 3 point game at halftime and Vandy went on to make THREE field goals the entire 2nd half scoring just 14 points. Vandy star forward Scotty Pippen, who will be the best player on the court tonight, played only 20 minutes in that loss due to fou trouble and scored a season low 6 points. Needless to say they’ve been waiting for this rematch. Florida has underachieved all season long, especially on the road where they are just 3-6 SU on the season. Their 3 road wins on the season came vs Georgia, Mizzou, and South Carolina, 3 of the 4 lowest rated teams in the SEC. The Gators have a -5 PPG margin on the road and shoot only 28% from beyond the arc. That’s a big problem tonight as Florida relies more on scoring from 3-point range than any other team in the SEC and Vanderbilt’s defense ranks 2nd in the league defending the arc allowing just 28% in conference play. Despite losing 4 of their last 5, we like the way Vandy is playing right now. Two of those losses were on the road vs Tennessee and Auburn, two of the top teams in the country, and both were competitive. Their other 2 losses during that stretch were at home by 2 points vs Alabama (better team than Florida) and by 5 points @ Miss State (better team than Florida). The Commodores continue to be undervalued covering 8 straight games and we have them as a favorite in this game. Take the host to win tonight.
