Anchor Drop, December 9, 2022: Grambling Tonight

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt men’s basketball has one final game tonight before finals break, hosting Grambling State at 6:00 PM CT on the SEC Network. The Commodores find themselves above .500 for the first time all season after Wednesday night’s win over Pitt and look to extend their winning streak to three games. This is a buy game, though Grambling is a bit better than usual this season, coming in with a 5-3 record that includes a win over Colorado (who beat Tennessee two days after losing to Grambling.)

And speaking of beating Tennessee, somebody on our coaching staff went into defensive line commit Demarion Thomas’s home and did this.

Ciaja Harbison returned for the women’s basketball team last night and Vanderbilt beat Louisiana Tech 75-70 in overtime, improving to 7-5 on the season.
