In the immediate aftermath of Tuesday night's loss to Mississippi State, we thought Vanderbilt's chances of making the NCAA Tournament were practically finished.
Further reflection says that's not the case. Or, at the very least, Vanderbilt still has an opportunity to play their way into the tournament. A few weeks ago, I posited that Vanderbilt needed to go 2-2 in the four-game stretch that started with the Kentucky debacle; then 5-0 through the five-game stretch that just ended; and then 2-2 in the four-game stretch to end the season.
By that logic, since Vanderbilt has actually gone 5-4 in the last nine games, Vanderbilt needs to win their last four, right?
