Anchor Drop, March 3, 2022: Women move on

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt women’s basketball survived and advanced at the SEC Tournament yesterday. Jordyn Cambridge posted a triple-double and the Commodores prevailed, 85-69 over Texas A&M, setting up a matchup today with 5-seed Florida at approximately 2:30 PM CT. Today’s game (like the entire SEC Tournament, I’m fairly sure) will be televised on the SEC Network.

The rest of today’s action at the women’s tournament: action opens with Missouri facing Arkansas in the 8-9 game at noon. The evening session opens at 6 PM with 7-seed Kentucky taking on Mississippi State, and 6-seed Georgia will face Alabama in the final game of the day.

Celina Sattelkau finished in a tie for third at the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate, though the Vanderbilt women’s golf team as a whole didn’t do great, finishing in 12th place.
