Big 10 Tennis

Congrats to Ill, would have loved to see Tuckers face at the end of it!

what has happened to Conner Smith the past few matches?

Looking at the box score from OSU's 7-0 drubbing earlier in the season, you could see that a much closer match was at least an outside possibility based on indivdual match scores. Obviously, any of IL's 4 match wins is a big turn around, BUT at No. 2, Rola of OSU had previously won 6-0, 6-1 over Klamanovich, but lost yesterday. That really wasn't foreseeable based on previous score.

Really goes to show how much on a razor's edge many college tennis matches are. These players are not pros, they do not have the same consistency, even the top guys. Makes it very interesting to watch for sure.

The Big Ten gets 6 teams in the Tournament!

Ohio State #5
Illinois #16
Michigan
Indiana
Minnesota
Northwestern

Happy for Minnesota (expected) and Northwestern (not totally expected).

How was Nebraska's team this season?? Competitive

Big Blue holding it down at #21, way to go Wolverines! Gotta battle Middle Tennessee State in the first round

[Satsuma Illini]

Too bad Ohio State. Maybe someday they'll get over that hump and finally win a championship. Illinois and Michigan remain the only Big Ten teams to win the national title.

Lets hope the 3rd winner is not an osu.

[Satsuma Illini]

Indy maybe? How's the team looking next year? I think the Illini's head-to-head with the Hoosiers is something like 41-44 so we need to catch up.

Lost 3 seniors who scored, have a couple of good Canadian freshmen coming in, I d say they should be about the same next year.

Just heard that Florida's Spencer Newman is transferring to Michigan next year. Newman finished the year ranked No. 65 on the ITA rankings. He was 16-5 for the year playing in the No. 3~5 slots. A good pickup for Michigan and will make them even tougher next year.

Newman transfer

Crap, I was really hopeful that he'd give our new coach a chance since development seemed to be the issue most were talking about with Spencer. Big pickup for Mich and a huge loss for UF. I had thought he would play 1 or 2 for us next year. Looking at the Mich roster, he will probably play behind King next spring and be the top dog as a senior.

Michigan looks like they are ready to contend for the Big 10 title next spring.

[kme5150]

It looks like U of MI is definitely heading in a better direction.

This is how I see their line-up next year.

1 Evan King
2 Spencer Newman
3 Alex Patrone
4 Vlad Stefan
5 Shaun Bernstein
6 Michael Zhu or Barret Franks


I can see Blaz Rola not going back to OSU after he goes to Europe for the fall.

I heard that Nelson Vick is leaving OSU.

[jaggy]

I think Michigan are legit contenders
