Anchor Drop, March 9, 2023: Is It Over Yet?

Good morning!

Optional Musical Accompaniment

I ain’t backing down from the Anchor Drop just yet, just like Vanderbilt didn’t back down last night. For 17 innings. Against Evansville. Well, a win is a win. Lacrosse knows that as well as anyone after beating Penn State in a close one yesterday. Hopefully, it’s something men’s basketball will remember tonight as they look to avenge themselves against LSU and advance in the SEC Tournament. In the meantime, Men’s Tennis plays That Orange School Out East while 6 swimmers begin competition in the 3-day CSCAA National Invitational Championship today.

Now, unlike last night’s baseball game, I’m all done. I’ve got a long business trip weekend ahead of me and a lot to do to get ready. See y’all in tonight’s game thread!
