Anchor Drop, February 23, 2022: Evansville Today

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

After yesterday’s game against North Alabama was postponed due to weather, Vanderbilt baseball will try again to get a weekday game in against Evansville, who seems to be on the schedule every year. Game time is 4:30 PM CT on the SEC Network+.

Basketball... well...

(I will say that I feel a rant coming about Jerry Stackhouse’s bench usage. Also, the opposing fan complaints about Scotty’s “flopping” are hilarious.)

Men’s golf also was on the struggle bus on Tuesday and now finds itself in 10th place at The Prestige.

Finally, some coaching staff news: football is hiring NIU’s Dan Jackson, probably to serve as some sort of defensive backs coach.
