Vanderbilt Basketball in NCAA Tournament

0:00On March 15th, Vanderbilt Basketball has punched its ticket to the 2026 NCAA tournament as a number 5 seed. The Commodores finish the season 26 wins and 8 losses. They will face Mignis in the first round in Oklahoma City. Earlier this week, Vanderbilt made waves in the SEC tournament by knocking off the number 1 seed, Florida. They tied for fourth place in the conference with an 11 and 7 record during the regular season. This marks just the second straight year under coach Mark Binton that Vanderbilt has reached the big dance. Last season, they entered as a 10 seed but fell in the opening round. It is their first appearance since 2017. The team racked up key regular season victories over Tennessee and Alabama, building momentum for March madness. Fans can grab tickets through major resale sites right now. With Binton at the helm, Vanderbilt looks poised for a deep run and all eyes are on their opener against Mignis.
