Vanderbilt basketball is making its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2017.
The No. 10 seed Commodores (20-12) will face No. 7 seed Saint Mary's (28-5) in their opening game in Cleveland. That game will be held at 2:15 p.m. Friday on truTV.
In five seasons under Jerry Stackhouse, Vanderbilt did not qualify for the NCAA tournament. The Commodores also did not qualify in the final two years under Bryce Drew. In its last tournament appearance in 2017, Vanderbilt was a No. 9 seed that lost to No. 8 seed Northwestern in the first round.
Now, first-year coach Mark Byington has taken the Commodores to the tournament.
