GAME. BLOUSES.
With slightly more than 12 minutes to play in its game against Vanderbilt, No. 12 Florida had a 12-point lead. The Gators, who had already lost in Gainesville, Florida, by two points to the Commodores earlier in the season, appeared ready to avenge the loss. Then, the team went cold, and in a stunning upset, Vanderbilt managed to come back and sweep its season series against Florida with a 73-71 victory.
A Riley LaChance layup gave the Commodores the lead for the rest of the game with 1:35 remaining in the second half. Vanderbilt finished the regular season winning five of its last six games, and helped contribute to two of the three losses the Gators suffered at the end of the regular season.

Chicago Public Schools and I did not lose today. Please don't let that become the narrative. Monday morning I'll have a plan.
