Basketball: Vanderbilt 65, Florida 73 -- Postgame Report

Of course, it's a bit frustrating to see Florida come out against Kentucky the next game and shoot 22.2% from three point range and shoot 66.7% from the free throw line (though you can attribute some of that to Kentucky -- they played a stellar game).

The Dores have been in an offensive funk since the Tennessee game, shooting 31.6%, 28.6%, and 32.0% from three point land in their last three games. The team's long range percentage has dropped to just under 40% on the season. This would be a good week to see a statistical correction.

Festus' knee issues have recurred, and he's been missing practice time since before the Arkansas game. We saw how not having our starting lineup healthy enough for consistent practice time affected the team earlier in the year -- it wasn't until before the Marquette game that the team finally started to hit its stride with regards to health.

Everybody hates on OGKF

But minus one bone-headed play against the press (which, to be fair, who DIDN’T have a bone-headed play against the press), I thought he played pretty well against UF. He came in after UF had made their big 2nd half run and seemed to help steady things.

Was that just good timing? Maybe…but I’d love to see us try something different against the press. Really, about anything.

I like Tennessee and Vanderbilt. There aren't many like me, and they're probably better off for it.
