During Saturday’s postgame press conference after the Vanderbilt Commodores beat South Carolina, Bryce Drew was asked by a reporter whether Vanderbilt had a shot at making the NCAA Tournament.
A few weeks ago, this would have seemed like a weird question. Even now, Vanderbilt, with a 14-13 overall record and a 7-7 SEC record, doesn’t appear on paper like a team that should be drawing any consideration for an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament. And yet... maybe they are? The Bracket Matrix currently has Vanderbilt in the Next Four Out, with seven bracketologists including the Commodores in the bracket.
