Vanderbilt basketball rallied from an awful start to fight its way into the NCAA Tournament in 2016-17. This winter, the conference’s coaches have ranked them in the middle of an up-and-down SEC.
The Commodores were predicted to finish seventh in the league this fall at SEC Media Days in Nashville. Kentucky, unsurprisingly, was pegged to repeat as conference champs. Also ranked ahead of Vandy are Florida, Texas A&M, Alabama, Missouri, and Arkansas.
