By Matt Melton
10. Florida Gators
Previous Ranking: 10
Florida remains in the No. 10 spot in this week’s update, as the Gators now sit at 14-15 overall, as well as 7-9 in SEC play. The Gators are coming off an 0-2 week on the hardwood that included an 82-74 home loss to Kentucky on Wednesday, as well as an 88-72 road loss at Vanderbilt on Saturday.
Having now lost three-straight, as well as six of their last seven, Florida will begin their final week of the 2022-23 SEC basketball regular season Tuesday night with a trip to Georgia. The Gators will then return home Saturday to host LSU.
9. Vanderbilt Commodores
Previous Ranking: 9
Also remaining in their previous spot is Vanderbilt (16-13 overall, 9-7 in SEC), as the Commodores still sit at No. 9. Vanderbilt would originally begin the week with an 84-77 road loss at LSU on Wednesday, but would bounce back in a big way Saturday with the previously mentioned 88-72 home win over Florida.
Vanderbilt will now begin this week on the road Wednesday night, as the Commodores will travel to Kentucky. The Commodores will then return home Saturday for a matchup against Mississippi State.
