Photo by Grant Halverson/NCAA Photos via Getty Images Good morning. Vanderbilt lacrosse opens the AAC Tournament today, where they’ll play top seed James Madison at 3:30 PM CT on ESPN+. (Yes, it is very weird that neither Vanderbilt nor James Madison is in the AAC for other sports. The AAC has seven teams in women’s lacrosse and only four of them are actually in the AAC for other sports.)Men’s golf heads to the Amherst Regional, which starts on May 12, as the 3-seed.

Committed #blessed #godores⚓️ pic.twitter.com/23K0ZLJgfV— Chandler Bing (@Chandler_Bing35) April 30, 2025That’s right. Vanderbilt will have a basketball player named Chandler Bing next season. This was a moment that was truly made for Anchor of Gold dot com. I await to see what nickname the commenters will give him. This should not be hard to figure out.

Vasha Hunt-Imagn Images Good morning. Vanderbilt baseball took the series against Georgia, winning 13-7 last night. The Commodores knocked four homers, including two from Brodie Johnston (who also homered on Thursday.) Vanderbilt will go for the sweep today at 2:00 PM CT on the SEC Network. Women’s tennis lost 4-2 to Auburn in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament. I assume they’re still good to make the NCAA Tournament. Both the NBA and NHL start the playoffs today. Have fun. All times Central.

Vasha Hunt-Imagn Images Good morning. Vanderbilt football will host its spring game today at 1 PM CT at FirstBank Stadium, and from best I can tell this won’t be televised (so no game thread.) I’m sure there will be plenty of places on the internet where you can read about it from people in attendance though. And speaking of spring football: lol. Lmao, even. Sources: Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava did not attend Tennessee spring practice today.

Photo by Imeh Akpanudosen/Getty Images for Professional Bowlers Association Good morning. I suppose I should go back to doing my job and posting the Anchor Drop every day, right? (Completing the basketball player report cards would be a bit much, though.)Vanderbilt bowling is headed to the Lansing Regional today, where they’ll join Wichita State, Fairleigh Dickinson, and Felician (huh? that’s a real college?) in a four-team, double-elimination Mega Match event.
