The Bryce Drew era of Vanderbilt basketball begins this season, and will have another strong schedule of opponents to contend with. Coach Drew enters with high expectations from a fanbase that was disappointed with the last few years of Coach Stalling's tenure. This will seem odd to the national media who will underestimate us through much of the season. Still, Coach Drew will have to prove his mettle quickly with a talented Vanderbilt team that has plenty of tough winnable games ahead of them.
Vanderbilt's home-and-home schedule includes Kentucky, Texas A&M, Florida, Arkansas, and Tennessee. These teams average a KenPom rating of 54.
