Showdowns with Marquette, Butler, Dayton, and Iowa State highlight Bryce Drew's first year at the helm in Nashville.
The Bryce Drew will begin with a slate of challenging, but winnable games for Vanderbilt basketball. The Commodores released their first non-conference schedule under their new head coach on Tuesday morning.
Drew will pit his 'Dores up against up to five opponents from high-major conferences before taking on the SEC this winter. Vandy is taking on the upper midwest in 2016-17, as games against central time zone opponents like Butler, Marquette, Minnesota, Dayton, and Iowa State dot the team's early schedule.
