The Florida Gators men's basketball team will look to bolster its March Madness resume when it starts its SEC Tournament run Thursday against the Vanderbilt Commodores.

Tip-off is expected to be 2:30 p.m. ET.

The Gators (13-8, 9-7 in SEC) are the No. 5 seed in the SEC Tournament. They have been paced by sophomore Tre Mann (15 points per game) and junior Colin Castleton (12.8 ppg) since star Keyontae Johnson collapsed during a game in December. Florida is coached by Mike White.

The Commodores (8-15, 3-13) are the No. 12 seed. They are led by sophomore guard Scotty Pippen Jr., the son of Basketball Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen. Vanderbilt is coached by Jerry Stackhouse.

The Gators won both regular-season games against Vanderbilt.
