Anchor Drop, February 25, 2022: Stallings Invitational

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt bowling will be in action this weekend at the Stallings Invitational in Greensboro, North Carolina, which I like to imagine is named for Kevin Stallings. Action starts today at 8:55 AM CT, and you can stream on Vanderbilt’s YouTube Channel (thankfully, no paywall this time.)

Baseball opens a three-game weekend series against Army today at 4:30 PM CT, streaming on the SEC Network+. (Somebody really needs to explain the 4:30 starts to me: why pick a time that’s both not a day game and also not late enough to qualify as a night game? Like, what the hell is the purpose of this?)

In other sports today, lacrosse is at Elon at noon CT, stream unfortunately behind a paywall. Men’s tennis visits Harvard at 4:00 PM CT.

Women’s basketball closed out its home schedule last night with a 63-59 win over a Top 25 Florida team. With one game left on the schedule, the Commodores are now 13-16 and 4-11 in the SEC.
