NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- — Tyler Tanner scored 20 points as No. 22 Vanderbilt beat fourth-ranked Florida 91-74 on Saturday, ending the defending national champion's bid to win a second straight Southeastern Conference Tournament title and possibly hurt the Gators' bid for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
The fourth-seeded Commodores won their fourth straight game. Vanderbilt (26-7) will play either Mississippi or No. 17 Arkansas on Sunday as it goes for its first tournament title since 2012.
Four other Vanderbilt players scored in double figures, with Jalen Washington adding 17, Duke Miles 15, Devin McGlockton 12 and AK Okereke 11. Six different Commodores made at least one 3-pointer, and everyone who played scored at least a bucket.
The Gators (26-7) saw their 12-game winning streak end. Thomas Haugh led them with 19 points, Boogie Fland had 15, Alex Condon 13 and Rueben Chinyelu 12.
