Thursday will be a hectic — but enjoyable — day for Vanderbilt head coach Melanie Balcomb and Commodore standouts Marqu’es Webb and Rebekah Dahlman.
The trio will be traveling to Charlotte, N.C., for the annual SEC women’s basketball Media Day.
Vanderbilt fans can follow the festivities on the team’s Twitter account (@VandyWBB) as the Commodore representatives wind through the long list of interviews and photo sessions throughout the day.
Debbie Antonelli, Carolyn Peck, Nell Fortner and Cara Capuano will be just a few of the TV personalities that will help host the day-long event. The list of activities will include a segment called “Coach’s Clicker” in which Balcomb — who enters the season as the SEC’s active leader in conference wins — will break down a play on the whiteboard.
Dahlman (who was named to the SEC’s All-Freshman Team last season) and Webb (who has led the Commodores in field-goal percentage in each of the past two seasons) are scheduled for a series of “Q-and-A” sessions and will also perform an on-court demonstration.
The Commodores open the season on Nov. 15, hosting Mississippi Valley State.
