Anchor Drop, February 9, 2023: Women host Arkansas

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt women’s basketball hosts Arkansas tonight at 8:00 PM CT on the SEC Network. The last time the Commodores and Razorbacks met, Marnelle Garraud hit a game-tying three with nine seconds left only to see Arkansas’s Makayla Daniels answer with a buzzer beater for an 84-81 Razorback win. Vanderbilt is looking for its second SEC win.

And speaking of buzzer beaters, there was a game at Memorial last night too.

I might have replayed that 109 times last night.

Also, bad ideas (the European Super League, in this case) never go away.
