Anchor Drop: Music City Classic

Mar 17, 2023 - 2:03 PM

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt bowling hosts the Music City Classic this weekend, with action starting today at 9:30 AM CT. This is apparently being streamed on BowlStreamTV, or maybe the Vanderbilt Athletics YouTube channel. Vanderbilt is looking for its third tournament win this season in the last event before next week’s Southland Championship.

Baseball run-ruled defending national champion Ole Miss 12-2 on Thursday night. Seems good! The second game of the series is tonight at 6:00 PM CT on SEC Network+. In other news, Saturday’s game has been moved to 1 PM CT so as not to conflict with the basketball team’s NIT game, which starts at 11 AM. That also apparently means it’s moved off the SEC Network onto SEC Network+, which kind of sucks, but obviously Vanderbilt would prefer not to have it be at the same time as the basketball game.

Women’s tennis travels to Florida today and first serve is at 4 PM CT.

Bad Gambling Advice

• Providence vs. Kentucky (6:10 PM CT, CBS): Providence +4, Under 143.5
