Good morning.
Optional Musical Accompaniment
Vanderbilt men’s golf is the #1 overall seed in the NCAA Championship, announced yesterday when the field was selected. The Commodores will open the Auburn Regional on May 15; the top five teams will advance to the national championship later in the month. Vanderbilt has won its regional for two consecutive years.
Baseball opens a three-game series at Alabama tonight at 7:00 PM CT on ESPNU. The Commodores are coming off a sweep of Kentucky last weekend and a Tuesday night win over Georgia State. I’d assume that Carter Holton will start tonight’s game.
It turns out that men’s tennis season is not over yet; Vanderbilt got invited to the first-ever NIT, which I... did not know was a thing in tennis. It’ll be televised on Amazon Prime!
And, well, this is ugly: a former Vanderbilt women’s basketball player is suing a now-former assistant coach for sexual abuse. (Before you ask, this dates back to the Melanie Balcomb era, not Stephanie White.)
