Vanderbilt Commodores
The Commodores have had a tough season in the SEC, with their only positive being that they are not in last place. They had a significant win against Missouri, but were subsequently crushed by Kentucky. The team is led by senior point guard Ezra Manjon, who is their leading scorer, and senior guard Tyrin Lawrence, who has been consistent in reaching double figures. Their top frontcourt player is Ven-Allen Lubin. The team ranks 202nd overall according to KenPom, with low rankings in offensive and defensive efficiency. They also play at a slow pace. Vanderbilt has too many losses for an at-large bid and would need to win the SEC Tournament to make it to the NCAA Tourney. In terms of statistics, the Commodores have struggled offensively, shooting poorly from the field and three-point range. They have also struggled defensively, allowing a high percentage of field goals and three-pointers. However, they have been able to secure rebounds and limit turnovers.
