Anchor Drop, January 16, 2023: More Arkansas?

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Well, it seems like Arkansas is the subject of all of our Anchor Drops lately, and that continues today as the women’s basketball team visits Fayetteville tonight. Game time is 6:00 PM CT, and tonight’s game will be televised on the SEC Network. Shea Ralph’s crew is still shorthanded, with only eight players available (probably for the rest of the season), and is still 0-4 in the SEC.

Tomorrow, the Anchor Drop will switch from Arkansas to Alabama, which had this happen yesterday:

Women’s tennis finished off the Miami Spring Invite, which apparently aren’t counted as real matches (they still list the team’s record as 0-0.) Same with the men’s team, which finishes off the Yale Martin Luther King Jr. Invitational today with a 9 AM matchup against Charlotte.

Happy Martin Luther King Day, everyone, the holiday that it seems like only students and government employees actually have off work.
