Anchor Drop, January 4, 2023: Vanderbilt beats South Carolina
Good morning.
Optional Musical Accompaniment
Well, Vanderbilt survived last night against South Carolina, 84-79 in overtime — but it frankly never should have come to that, with the Commodores ending up in overtime by missing three of four free throws (excuse me, hope tosses) in the final minute and also allowing South Carolina to grab two of its own misses before finally scoring a layup to tie the game on the final possession of regulation.
Seriously, though. Vanderbilt won’t go 0-18 in the SEC, so we’re clearing the extremely low bar set by the 2018-19 team. But we were supposed to be playing the worst team in the SEC last night.
