Derrick Byars and Shan Foster each scored 24 points, and Vanderbilt snapped the nation's longest winning streak by upsetting the Gators 83-70.

Florida (24-3, 11-1) had won 17 straight games and needed a victory to clinch at least a share of the Southeastern Conference's Eastern Division and the overall league title. They also had won seven straight against the Commodores.

But Vanderbilt (18-8, 8-4) has been one of the country's best against ranked opponents this season. Students poured onto the court at Memorial Gym as the Commodores pulled off their first victory over a top-ranked team since Jan. 13, 1993, when they beat then-No. 1 Kentucky, and their sixth victory over a ranked team this season.

The Commodores won for the seventh time in nine games by beating the nation's best shooting team at its own game, hitting 57.1 percent to 44 percent. They took the lead in the first half and led by as much as 16 late.

This was the fourth time this season the Gators had trailed by double digits. They came from 18 down Wednesday night before beating Alabama.

Ross Neltner added 15 points for the Commodores.

Joakim Noah led Florida with 15, and Corey Brewer and Al Horford each had 13 as the Gators had a season-high 22 turnovers.

The Gators had been shooting 53.7 percent, but they struggled from the start when they hit only two of their first nine shots. They last led midway through the first half. 13-12, on a pair of free throws by Horford.

Vanderbilt led 35-27 at halftime, the second-fewest first-half points scored by Florida this season.

Florida coach Billy Donovan benched his starters with 1:26 left and the Gators trailing 83-68.
