Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt bowling beat Carthage and Youngstown State on Friday, advancing to the regional final which will be held today at 2:00 PM CT against the winner of the consolation bracket game between Youngstown State and Maryville. Win that, and Vanderbilt is off to the Final Four, which you can watch here.

Football is holding its spring game today at 5:00 PM CT. Thanks to construction at the Bank, this year’s spring game will be played at the Vanderbilt Soccer and Lacrosse Complex. Admission is free, and the game will be streamed on the SEC Network+ and ESPN+. (Also, is it me, or have spring games in general become less of a big deal over the last few years? For instance, the SEC Network main isn’t really showing them this year.)

Baseball’s winning streak came to a close yesterday after Missourah (spits) hit a two-out, two-run single in the ninth inning to beat Vanderbilt 5-4. Why the SEC standings now say that we’re 10-1 in the conference is still not entirely clear. Final game of the series is today at 2:00 PM CT on the SEC Network+.

Men’s tennis lost 4-2 to Texas A&M on Saturday in its final home game of the season. Women’s tennis hosts Kentucky today at noon CT, and lacrosse hosts James Madison at 11 AM CT.
