I guarantee you #13 Duke won’t be overlooking Elon after the Phoenix stunned them 2 years ago. Despite having a young team I still expect to see Duke pull through because Elon is just as young after losing 3 of its top 4 from last year.
Cal and Tulsa ought to be a good one tonight and I’m sure it’ll be played indoors which will give Tulsa a little bit of an advantage however I expect to see Cal take it with 5 ranked singles players starting in the lineup.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing – I thought a full strength lineup had a really good chance at beating Louisville. Troy's weekend preview said they were led by Hassan but then he doesn't play – didn't play in the fall either. Bustamante played at #4 last season and was at #1 today
Winning debut for Kader – W&M wins it 4-3 – Ryan Newman, formerly of NC State, played at #2 for W&M. W&M won the doubles point by winning at TB at #1 then won in straights at 3, 4, and 5.
interesting line-up Troy has out, missing #1 Ndayishimiye, Hassan and others who would appear stronger on paper such as Yim Kim
Also today, Jeff Kader makes his coaching debut for William and Mary in the Tribe's match vs. Yale in New Haven, Conn.
