Anchor Drop, March 2, 2023: Men’s Tennis SEC Opener

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt men’s tennis opens SEC play today hosting Arkansas at 4:00 PM CT. There’s actually a live stream? I hadn’t seen one for the women’s team earlier this year but maybe we’re doing it for SEC matches.

The women’s basketball team ended its season yesterday with a 77-70 loss to Texas A&M in the opening round of the SEC Tournament. The Commodores finish with a 12-19 record (I’m just assuming they’re not getting an invite to the WNIT with that record.)

Women’s golf shot 9-over par in the final round of the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate to finish in eighth place for the tournament.

And, finally, hang it in the Louvre.

In non-Vanderbilt news, the real Championship Week begins today. The Sun Belt has a game at 11:30 AM, and the MVC has a game at noon. All hail single-site conference tournaments that play games during work hours.
