Anchor Drop, August 29, 2023: WBB announces nonconference schedule

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt women’s basketball announced its nonconference schedule yesterday, which opens against Kennesaw State on November 6. The highlights are a trip to Las Vegas on November 24 for the South Point Thanksgiving Shootout, where they’ll play Iowa State and Northern Iowa; a visit to NC State on November 29 for the ACC/SEC Challenge; and a trip to Butler on December 7. Now I just want to know what the delay is for the men’s team to announce its schedule.

Gordon Sargent is headed to Scotland this weekend for the Walker Cup.

Coming up today at AoG, we’ll preview Alabama A&M and talk Clark Lea’s press conference, which is today at lunch time.
