Wet day here in Nashville so they will be heading indoors for the Illinois/Ga State match which should get underway in about 75 minutes.

VCU looking good in dubs against Minnesota as is UNC-Wilmington against South Carolina

A couple of articles about the upcoming tournament

TennisRecruiting.net Article and College Tennis Online Article

 

[JLyon]

UNC-W taking it too South Carolina
Also weather is ?? in Oxford, match not until noon CST but rain blocks scattered about

 

[TopDawg]

UNC Wilmington, Washington, VCU, and Wake Forest all take dubs

 

[ga tennis]

UNC Wilmington, Washington, VCU, and Wake Forest all take dubs

Looks like the Lamecocks will mess up my prediction of no SEC team losing first round.

 

[Clemson_tennis]

would not be surprised if Wilmington won. The Gamecocks did not look excited at all to be selected to their regional. UNCW probably more motivated.

 

[Nostradamus]

Georgia regional underway already. Northwestern down doubles point already.

is Clemson good or bad this year ?

 

[ga tennis]

They are good.

 

[Clemson_tennis]

is Clemson good or bad this year ?

Horrendous compared to Stanford.

Horrendous compared to Stanford.

Isn't everyone?

 

[jaggy]

Isn't everyone?

Stanford would win the Davis Cup if they were a nation

 

[Automator]

Stanford would win the Davis Cup if they were a nation

The only people that could stop Stanford's #6 player from winning all the majors are the guys playing at 1-5.

 

[TopDawg]

In a holding pattern in Nashville, they are working on the courts but they've got a ways to go before they are dry - at least 45 minutes. If it starts raining again Illinois and Georgia St will go indoors

Oh man, the Harvard/Samford match is moving indoors, where there are 2 courts available. Singles being played first. That'll take a while.

VCU looking good in dubs against Minnesota as is UNC-Wilmington against South Carolina

Looks like this match could come down to the wire.

South Carolina getting whipped right now by UNC Wilmington

 

[Clemson_tennis]

Boise State making a move

 

[Nostradamus]

Northwestern making a move to take the singles over Vanderbilt. LOL. up a set in most of singles after being down the doubles point.
I thought Vande was favored in this one ??

NW playing Wake Forest not Vandy

Good call Feddie! If only NW were actually playing Vanderbilt, you would be correct that Vanderbilt would be the favorite.

 

[Nostradamus]

NW playing Wake Forest not Vandy

You are correct. I accidently posted a wrong team. Was Northwestern favored over Wake forest ?

 

[Automator]

It depended on which Wake Forest team showed up. The one that beat Duke, or the one that lost to UNC. Looks like it was the latter.

 

[ga tennis]

So far my SEC predictions arent looking too good. Mike you might have been right.

 

[Automator]

If someone has a eulogy prepared for South Carolina's season, you're on in 5.

 

[TopDawg]

Illinois/Georgia State starting in 20 minutes outdoors

 

[Clemson_tennis]

If someone has a eulogy prepared for South Carolina's season, you're on in 5.

I'd happily do it of I felt more comfortable about our match!

 

[BHSC]

Can you believe this?

The Mississippi State regional is being played inside because of weather.

They only have 2 indoor courts!

That is going to be one long day of tennis, especially since court 2 just split.

 

[jhick]

Looks like this match could come down to the wire.

VCU / Minn tied at 3-3 with the deciding match at #1 singles in the 3rd set.

 

[ClarkC]

You are correct. I accidently posted a wrong team. Was Northwestern favored over Wake forest ?

I believe that Nostradamus predicted a big season for Northwestern, as he predicts every year.

 

[TopDawg]

Illini up 1 break at 2 & 3 leading 5-2

 

[Nostradamus]

Good news, guys. Looks like Cardinal will take the doubles point. This one could be a breeze. See, seeding really means nothing in NCAA tournament.

[TopDawg]

Illinois takes the dubs point over Ga State

 

[Nostradamus]

WOW, Northwestern wins 4-3. Very close tight matches. guts and glory prevails.

 

[TopDawg]

Wake's guy served for it at 6 up 5-4 30-0 and couldn't close it out

 

[TopDawg]

Kandath is playing, good for him.

 

[woodrow1029]

and Riki McLachlan is playing for Cal. Good for him too!

 

[TopDawg]

NC State about to take out Auburn

 

[TopDawg]

Illinois blowing out Georgia State

 

[TopDawg]

I guess that is Kandath at 2, I was skeptical at first but that 0-6 0-3 score has confirmed it. Sorry couldn't resist feddie

 

[Automator]

The role of Shuhei Uzawa will be played by Matt Kandath this evening.

 

[TopDawg]

Hiltzik beat Valente 3 & 1.

 

[Automator]

We're done in Charlottesville.

Virginia vs. Minnesota tomorrow at 3, most likely indoors.

 

[TopDawg]

Virginia Tech has Michigan on the ropes, could be over soon unless Petrone can take it at 2
