There were two stats that really jumped off the page:
Obviously, Florida was extremely effective from outside today. Florida had been shooting 29.3% from 3 on the season. For the game, they shot 48.1% from 3. This is probably a silver-lining for Gator fans, but it could be a sign that whatever slump Florida has been in might be over.
Vandy's turnover percentage for the season had been close to 20%. Against Florida, Vandy's turnover rate was 10.3%. The team had only 7 turnovers, which is a huge departure from their performances to date. If you're going to survive a three point barrage, you had better take care of the ball. Fortunately, Vandy did today.
Of the four factors, Florida only led effective FG rate (though Vandy's number in this category was quite strong). Vandy handily won the other three (OReb, TO, FTR).

Plus/Minus
Plus/Minus Adjusted Per 40 Minutes
Andre Walker (8pts, 10rebs, 7asts, 3stls) had an incredible game for Vandy, and it shows in the unadjusted plus/minus. A.J. Ogilvy ended up being the more effective player when you adjust for the amount of minutes everyone played. Another glue award for Andre. If you hadn't figured it out by now, Vandy really missed what Andre brings to the table last season.
