Baylor and Ole Miss will be a good one. Pradella is much better than 122. Lets see if he can get a big scalp vs Scholtz. Lutjen better be ready for Lenz.

12 foreigners will be playing in that one for those who care about that stuff.

I thought Stanford was pretty much a lock to win it all this year.

Finally a word of wisdom. but realistically they are looking at round of 16. That will be a win win in preparation for 2014. We are going to get #1 and #3 player in the nation, I am hoping.

Surprisingly, ole miss is winning at their weakest positions. Maytin used to be a solid player.

He played at 2 last year and wasn't half bad. He beat Alcorta for OU, Carvalho for Texas Tech, and even beat Ben McLachlan from Cal. Now he can't even hold down the 6 spot.

Looks like the Rebs are buckling down. Kallberg was the hero last week and it may come down to him again this week.

Got to hand it to Ole Miss they keep findings ways to win. Seems like someone different steps it up every match. They've done a great job winning the doubles point to grab the early momentum.

Spartans lead on 4 courts early. This would be a disastrous loss for Michigan. What's up with Vlad Stefan? He can't buy a win anymore, yet is somehow still ranked.

UNC Wilmington upsets Yale 7-0. Although I would not be surprised if they have to forfeit that because they played Cooprider over Aita at 1. I'm sure Yale will protest and I see no justification for that move.

I don't see how you can challenge a lineup if your opponent won in every spot. It'd be one thing if Cooprider got blown out but he didn't, he won.

None of the SEC matches being played out, they are stopping after its been clinched.

Georgia over Florida 4-0.
Tennessee over S Carolina 4-1
Kentucky over Ole Miss 4-1
Miss State leads Vandy 3-2. Likely comes to #6

Vandy may get the upset over Miss St, Yee serving for the match at 5 and my man Rhys Johnson up 4-2 in the 3rd. This would be a big win on the road if they can finish it

I really don't like that. What difference does an hour make when the next match isn't until Sunday?

The difference is, not changing the outcome of the match and a season altering injury. Hey, I don't like it either, but if I was a coach and had the chance to end the match once the 4th point was had, I'd take it to. If matches were required to finish and kids were playing hurt and the 4th point was had, I could see them tanking or their coach telling them to default.

I can understand not finishing when a match is far from an end but there have been a few SEC matches recently that end at like 1-5 and 5-6. It should not become a regular thing as it appears it is becoming in the SEC. A player is at risk of a freak ankle crack at anytime. He could just as easily get injured in a first set than 3rd.

There's a big difference getting hurt when it matters and getting hurt when the match is over and did not have to be played. It's the rule and the coaches use it. Not gonna change.

What do you mean it's the rule? The majority of coaches prefer to play it out. Boland even preferred Styslinger to play a whole set rather than a super tiebreaker vs A&M

Pretty sure it's a conference play rule. Not sure if in the SEC they are required to stop or if the coaches can decide to play it out on their own.

JLyon would know.
