A season that started with Vanderbilt ranked 18th in the country seems like it's gone off the rails over the last month or so. The Commodores currently sit at 11-8, 3-4 in the SEC, and there seems to be a prevailing sense that this team is bound for the NIT.
Or so we think.
Part of the issue is that many fans and commentators expect Vanderbilt to continue losing whenever they play a good team. While there have been some losses that weren't particularly close, though, many of the losses could have gone either way.
