2026 Tournament PreviewVanderbilt started 16-0, went 11-7 in the tough SEC and then advanced to the conference tournament final to earn an NCAA Tournament berth as the 13th-ranked team in the NET. Sophomore point guard Tyler Tanner (19.1 ppg, 5.1 apg, 2.4 spg) leads an offense that is seventh nationally in efficiency (per KenPom), but the return of senior guard Duke Miles (16.5 ppg), who missed six mid-season games, has provided a major boost. The backcourt duo helps Vandy rank 11th in turnover rate and 36th in effective field-goal percentage. Four Commodores shoot at least 36 percent on three-pointers and the team is fourth in free-throw percentage (79.3). Defensive is not too shabby either, 31st in efficiency (per KenPom). Perhaps the first Final Four in program history is a stretch, but with 10 Quad 1 wins, a top-20 ranking in D-1 experience and a chip on its shoulder after last year's first-round exit, coach Mark Byington's squad could make a deep run.
