Vanderbilt will be better

At the beginning of this past season, Vandy was just flat awful! However, they improved markedly over the course of the season until at the end they were very competitive in the SEC. They are still one of those "soft," one-dimensional, white-collar teams, meaning that all they want to do it hover around the arc and shoot the three. They will generally get beat on the boards and outmuscled inside and basically "out-physicalled." But historically they have been able to shoot, and that covers a multitude of sins. Look for them to pick up next year where they left off and be a lot better over the course of the season, if for no other reason than that they return basically their entire roster.
