CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Zig-zagging their way through a maze of interviews and photo shoots, head coach Melanie Balcomb and Commodore stars Rebekah Dahlman and Marqu’es Webb represented Vanderbilt at Thursday’s SEC Media Days in Charlotte, N.C.
The Vanderbilt trio did a little bit of everything during the busy day, ranging from an on-court demonstration to visiting the SEC Network’s main studio.
