Anchor Drop: Bowling gets #2 national seed

Mar 30, 2023 - 12:00 PM

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt bowling earned the #2 national seed in the NCAA Bowling Championships, whose field was announced Wednesday. Hated rival McKendree is the #1 national seed. The Commodores will go to the Lansing Regional and will face Carthage in the opening game on April 7. No, I’ve never heard of Carthage, either. Unless you’re talking about the former empire in north Africa that tried to invade Rome in the third century B.C. Meanwhile, the Hustler recaps Vanderbilt’s stay at the final Southland Bowling League tournament.

Vanderbilt women’s basketball star Ciaja Harbison will enter the WNBA Draft. I’m pretty sure she was out of eligibility?

Today is MLB Opening Day, and the new pitch clock is being praised for shaving an average of 26 minutes off spring training games.
