Anchor Drop, February 24, 2021: Tennessee, Round Two

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt basketball is back in action tonight, hosting a reeling Tennessee team at 8:00 PM CT on the SEC Network. Vocokyteps has entered a bit of a slide of late, entering tonight’s game having lost two of its last three, including a 70-55 home loss to Kentucky on Saturday that was never really close; the Vols got run out of their own gym. Vanderbilt is 2-10 in the SEC but has played notably better of late, including giving #6 Alabama a scare in its own gym in a 82-78 loss on Saturday.

That will basically immediately follow the baseball team’s third game of the season. After opening the season by sweeping a doubleheader against Wright State on Monday, the Commodores host Western Kentucky at Hawkins Field at 4:30 PM CT on the SEC Network+. Yep, we’re gonna have back-to-back game threads today.

(And if you want to make it a tripleheader, lacrosse hosts Central Michigan at 1 PM CT. That one is streaming on YouTube.)

Celina Sattelkau finished in a tie for eighth at the Lady Gators Invitational; the team finished 11th.
