Anchor Drop, December 29, 2020: Another COVID pause

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Well, the women’s basketball team has announced another COVID pause after initially cancelling Monday’s game against Samford. And this one’s just in time for the start of SEC play; Vanderbilt’s first three scheduled SEC games have been postponed. This is... not good, but particularly in light of the fact that the team had also cancelled its first three nonconference games, too, against Tennessee Tech, Middle Tennessee, and Texas Tech. It didn’t even take a month for the program to be back on pause.

vucommodores.com lists the top moments in Vanderbilt sports in 2020. Surely there aren’t many.
