Good morning.
Optional Musical Accompaniment
Vanderbilt bowling, finally, won a tournament. After a bunch of near-misses this season, the Commodores put in an utterly dominant performance over the weekend to claim the title at the Stallings Shine-O Ball-O Invitational for the second year in a row. The Commodores have three weeks off before hosting the Music City Classic, followed a week later by the Southland Championship.
Baseball took the series against UCLA with yesterday’s 2-1 win. I’m still concerned about the offense, but Vanderbilt’s pitching should be good enough to have a chance in most games.
Women’s basketball closed out its regular season with a near miss in a 78-76 loss at Auburn yesterday. The Commodores will enter the SEC Tournament on Wednesday with a 12-16 record, 3-13 in the conference. They’ll be the 12-seed and face Texas A&M in the tournament opener at 10 AM CT.
Women’s tennis closed out nonconference play with a 7-0 win over MTSU, while the men’s team dropped one to Northwestern 4-1.
Today, women’s golf opens the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate at Hilton Head Island, while lacrosse hosts Louisville at 1 PM CT on ESPN+.
In non-Vanderbilt news, college basketball’s championship week kicks off today with the A-SUN Tournament, where Florida Gulf Coast plays Queens and Bellarmine plays North Florida, both at 6 PM CT on ESPN+. This isn’t the real Championship Week, though; that doesn’t start until Thursday, when we have the first conference tournament game at noon on a weekday. If your conference tournament doesn’t include any games at noon on a weekday, what the hell are you doing here?
