Anchor Drop, February 5, 2022: LSU Tonight

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt basketball hosts LSU tonight (this afternoon?) at 5:00 PM CT at Memorial Gym. Tonight’s game will air on the SEC Network, and LSU head coach and former Vanderbilt ballboy Will Wade decided to air his grievances about officiating on Thursday night, where he specifically called out Vanderbilt for drawing fouls on 38 percent of its offensive possessions. Yep, that’s right, the man decided that he was going to accuse SEC referees of showing favoritism toward Vanderbilt.

Women’s tennis swept a doubleheader on Friday, first doing what the football team couldn’t and beating East Tennessee State, then beating North Alabama 7-0. The men’s match against Drake was postponed due to weather.

It’s totally looking like MLB’s season is going to start on time. Nothing to see here.
