Vanderbilt's Karris Bilal enters transfer portal post-loss

Vanderbilt freshman Karris Bilal has decided to transfer just minutes after his team's loss in March Madness. He entered the transfer portal 13 minutes following the Commodores' defeat to Saint Mary's in the first round. The game took place on Friday afternoon, starting at 3:30 p.m. ET. Reports indicate that Bilal entered the portal by 5:53 p.m. Despite his commitment to Vanderbilt in 2022, he did not play in any games this season and redshirted. He also did not travel with the team for March Madness or the SEC Tournament. Bilal was a three-star recruit from Atlanta, and his quick decision suggests he is ready to pursue new opportunities. In the game, Vanderbilt led by 12 points but lost after a late rally by Saint Mary's, resulting in a tight final score of 59-56.
