The Vanderbilt Commodores are currently 9-8 on the season, on a five-game losing streak, and 0-5 in the SEC. The team’s most recent performance — a 71-55 loss to Mississippi State, at home, two days after a reported players-only meeting (it’s never a good sign when you have one, and it’s an even worse sign when the players-only meeting is immediately followed by... that) — was one of its worst of the season. Vanderbilt’s KenPom rating is in free fall: the Commodores ranked 63rd in the metric entering the Ole Miss game on January 5, and are currently ranked 105th.
