Vanderbilt WBB Begins Tough Road Stretch: The Anchor

Vanderbilt women’s basketball is about to be up against a tough stretch of games over the next nine days. Vanderbilt three games away from home consist of two conference games and its final game out of conference at a neutral site.

The Commodores first hit the road today in College Station, Texas to take on Texas A&M looking to tie its best start in program history. At 16-0, Vanderbilt is one win away from a program-best 17-0 start to a season. Texas A&M will look to play spoiler today at 2 p.m. CT on SEC Network+. The last time Vanderbilt started 17-0 was when it made the Final Four during the 1992-1993 season.

Vanderbilt has the fourth-longest winning streak in women’s college basketball right now, behind UConn with 32 straight wins, Texas with 18 straight wins and Texas Tech with 17 straight wins.

If Vanderbilt survives its first road test, then program history will be on the line Thursday in Starkville, Mississippi as Vanderbilt goes up against Mississippi State for what should be a great game. The game will be nationally televised on SEC Network at 5:30 p.m. CT start time.

After that, Vanderbilt goes up to Newark, New Jersey for a neutral site game against Michigan on Jan. 19, where the Commodores and Wolverines will play at the Prudential Center for the Coretta Scott King Classic.

Heading into this road trip, Vanderbilt is 12th in the NET with one Quad 1 win and three Quad 2 wins.

Commodores Quote of The Day

“Roy Kramer came to me at the SEC Tournament in Birmingham and said he was going to make a coaching change and wanted me to take the job. Vanderbilt was the only place that I would have left the job I had. There was something about Vanderbilt that made me say, `Yes.’ At that time in the early 1980’s there were a lot of crazy things happening in intercollegiate athletics."
