The Best College Basketball Teams With Fewer Than 20 Wins

Vanderbilt Commodores

Vanderbilt actually finished the season better than Florida did in terms of the SEC standings, as the Commodores wound up 19-13 and 9-9 in conference play, but based on nERD, they aren't as good.

Vandy's nERD (9.22) ranks them as the fourth-best team without 20 wins this year despite their above average offense (84th percentile) and defense (64th percentile).

Vanderbilt's biggest issue wasn't their schedule (the 92nd-toughest) but rather its own consistency. According to the math, Vanderbilt was just the 288th-most consistent team out of 351 schools. Vanderbilt suffered a seven-game skid in the middle of the season, all against SEC opponents.
