Aggies won 4-0

Ole miss takes a well fought doubles point

Saw where they are playing indoors and with only 3 courts that means 4, 5, & 6 singles won't ever take the court. That'd stink to play at one of those spots for Binghamton and maybe playing in your first ever NCAA Tournament and you don't even get to step on the court for your singles match.

 

[TopDawg]

Video is working at USC. Trojans took dubs point easily as expected 8-2 and 8-1.

 

[TopDawg]

Mississippi State is going to one up Ole Miss on the indoor court situation. The MSU/Baylor match is moving to McCarthy Gymnasium which I believe has just 2 courts. They'll be playing all night.

 

[Satsuma Illini]

Illinois takes the doubles against Auburn! The Illini are 12-0 this year when winning the doubles point.

 

[TopDawg]

Indiana not laying down versus Kentucky. Quigley did win 6-1 6-0 to make it 2-0 UK but IU did pick up 3 1st sets and they lead 3-1 in the 3rd at 4.

 

[treeman10]

Hey TopDawg, the video at Athens looks amazing but I assume (and hope) that NCAA will stream and we won't have to watch those 30 second commercials every time we want to move between courts? I don't mind it once, but it gets annoying quick.

I think you guys talked about tthe broadcast....but can't remember which NCAA thread that was in....

 

[TopDawg]

Pepperdine takes the dubs point over Washington. Pepperdine back at full strength today.

 

[TopDawg]

Tulsa takes the doubles point from Oklahoma and now leads 1-0

 

[Satsuma Illini]

I hesitated for a bit before I chose Oklahoma for my predictions. This is gonna be a close one.

 

[TopDawg]

Miss St and Baylor now tied at 1-1 as Chaudry beats Maytin 6-3 6-2 at #2. I guess that means #3 singles is coming on court next.

 

[TopDawg]

USC cruised as expected 4-0. Nguyen did not play singles. USC only dropped 10 points over the 6 singles courts.

 

[TopDawg]

Baylor now leads Mississippi State 2-1 as Zsiga beats Ilyushin 7-5 6-3. Zsiga won 7 of 10 games once they moved indoors. Baylor up a set and 4-3 at #3 so it could be 3-1 BU shortly.

 

[TopDawg]

Pepperdine wins 4-0. Waves join Kentucky in the Round of 16. Tulsa now leading Oklahoma 3-1 and they lead 2-0 in the 3rd set at #3 singles.

 

[Satsuma Illini]

Illinois's Hoh wins to make it 2-0 Illinois but Auburn about to win #6 and won the first set at #2 and #4. Others are too close to call yet.

Go Illini!

 

[TopDawg]

UPSET: Tulsa takes down Oklahoma 4-1

 

[Satsuma Illini]

Auburn takes #2 and #6 singles. Tied 2-2.

#1 Nevolo (UI) leads 7-6, 4-3.
#3 Abdelnour (UI) leads 7-6, 1-2.
#4 Lopasso (AU) leads 6-4, 6-6.

Too close.

 

[TopDawg]

Mississippi State and Baylor now tied at 3-3. The deciding match at #6 singles is in the 1st set tiebreak tied at 3.

 

[Satsuma Illini]

Auburn takes #4 and leads 3-2.

#1 Nevolo leads 7-6, 5-4.
#3 Abdelnour took first set 7-6, trials 2nd set 1-4.

Looks like #3 singles third set will decide it.

Nevolo wins #1. Tied 3-3. Cochrance leads #3 5-1 in 2nd set. Looks like third set between Cochrance and Abdelnour will decide it.

 

[woodrow1029]

Cal 4-0 over UTSA.

 

[TopDawg]

Bley takes the 1st set tiebreak over White and is now serving at 0-1 in the 2nd. Bley has won some big matches for Baylor - I've got to think Baylor will pull this out. We shall see..

 

[Satsuma Illini]

Illinois-Auburn tied 2-2 all in final third set to decide it all.

 

[TopDawg]

Miss State twitter is doing point by point - Twitter

 

[Satsuma Illini]

Illini Abdelnour leads 5-2 in third.

 

[Satsuma Illini]

Illini win 4-3! On to the Sweet Sixteen!

Illini Win!

 

[TopDawg]

Bley/White headed to a 2nd set tiebreak. If Bley takes it Baylor wins; if White takes it they play a 3rd set.

 

[mikej]

bley with the minibreak, 5-4, let's goooo two big serves

 

[mikej]

6-4, uno mas sir!

 

[mikej]

grrr 6-6...clearly i would rather see baylor in duke's path than MSU, even if they have come a long way this season

 

[mikej]

bley doubles on his third match point, second on serve

you're killing me bro!

 

[mikej]

match pt #4 gone now, 8-8

stop f-ing around bley!

 

[mikej]

fifth match pt, third on serve...let's do it!

 

[mikej]

i want to kick this kid in the groin right now, 9-9

 

[mikej]

match pt #6, yawn

 

[mikej]

10-10 of course

this dude is going to need therapy if he has to go to a 3rd

 

[mikej]

match pt #7, 4th on serve

tricky underhand serve would be my advice

 

[mikej]

bley i love you man...tahir is going to kick you in the groin in a week now instead of me

 

[Clemson_tennis]

Surprise, surprise, Texas goes down in the 1st round. Anyone know what happened here ?

 

[Clemson_tennis]

What happened in Clemson vs UGA women. I am getting conflicting reports. NCAA site says UGA won 4-3, but there's no way. I have also seen 4-2 Clemson

Georgia won 4-3 as its #3 singles player came back from a set and 5-2 down to win it 0-6 7-5 6-1 - UGA write up.

[treeman10]

I would not overlook Santa Clara in that Texas match. Texas lost to USD and Santa Clara split with USD this year. It could be a tight one. Stanford should win the regional pretty easy though. I am hoping for a Stanford vs Santa Clara Final. Go NorCal

Your wish has been granted - congrats!

Georgia won 4-3 as its #3 singles player came back from a set and 5-2 down to win it 0-6 7-5 6-1 - UGA write up.

Interesting thing about the women's match. I didn't stay for the whole match today, but Lauren Herring at #2 doubles and #4 singles served EVERY serve underhand. It was so bizarre. And they won her serve handedly in doubles. I didn't stay, but assume she served that way in singles too, and it worked well enough to go three sets. I'm sure there's a reason for it, as I've seen her play before, but still. Has anyone ever seen something like that before?

my guess would be an abdominal strain

i served part of a high school season like that - only really affects you when you're serving or hitting overheads

She had been out for the past month or so with a shoulder injury, I believe. She actually has a very good serve, but probably trying not to stress the shoulder out.

 

[jaggy]

Congrats to Kentucky who deservedly beat Indiana 4-0. It was exciting for a bit with IU winning 3 first sets but the best team won. Quigley also has improved since I last saw him over a year ago, genuine top 10 player.

It seems to be not all that uncommon in women's college tennis. Usually attributed to shoulders/tendonitis. I think it wold be a lot harder to get away with at a higher level men's college game.
