No. 22 Vanderbilt stops No. 4 Florida's winning streak to reach SEC Tournament final

Vanderbilt upset Florida 91-74 in the SEC tournament semifinals on Saturday in Nashville, marking a major surprise.
Using balanced perimeter scoring, the Commodores spread the floor, shooting 10-of-21 from three-point range with six Commodores who hit 3s and every player scoring.
Vanderbilt got scoring from five players in double figures, including Jalen Washington with 17 and Duke Miles with 15, and the team finished with 21 assists and eight turnovers.
The victory puts Vanderbilt into the SEC final on Sunday with a shot at a title last won in 2012, while Florida's 12-game winning streak ended, creating uncertainty about its NCAA seeding.
Coach Mark Byington called the result a landmark in his two-year run, urging fans to buy tickets early to help build Vanderbilt into "Nashville's team," Byington said.
