2025 Tournament PreviewUnder first-year coach Mark Byington, Vanderbilt is dancing for the first time since 2017. The Commodores are ranked 47 in the Net and 50 on KenPom, but five Quad 1 wins and no bad losses proved more than enough. Vanderbilt has a top-30 offense (per KenPom), with fifth-year senior point guard AJ Hoggard (9.8 ppg, 4.6 apg) protecting the ball to help the Commodores rank 28th nationally in turnover rate. While three-point shooting ranks outside the top 200, junior guards Jason Edwards (17.0 ppg) and Tyler Nickel (10.5 ppg) shoot 36.0 and 40.6 percent, respectively. The Commodores lack height, with 6-8 Jaylen Carey (8.2 ppg, 5.8 rpg) the only rotation player taller than 6-7, and defense falls far behind (83rd), with perimeter defense especially poor, ranking 337th. Vanderbilt, which hasn't won since March 1, is looking to snap a three-game losing streak.
