Vanderbilt Basketball gets a single vote in the AP Top 25
Vanderbilt basketball lost two key pieces last summer when All-SEC athletes Damian Jones and Wade Baldwin IV both declared for the NBA Draft. However, a team returning standouts like Luke Kornet, Jeff Roberson, and Matthew Fisher-Davis hasn’t gone completely overlooked this offseason.
The Commodores earned a single vote when the preseason AP Top 25 poll dropped on Monday. That means one of the 65 media voters out there included Vandy on their list — in 25th place.
That effectively puts the team in a tie for 48th in the rankings. Better than Ken Pomeroy’s projection of 64th, but still unlikely to be enough for an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
