Nothing like a little mid-week tennis to get everybody excited and that’s what we’ll have Tuesday evening with #5 Baylor hosting #15 TCU and #21 UCLA hosting #51 Tulsa. #15 TCU (8-3) at #5 Baylor (9-2) – 7pm est – Live Scoring & Blog + Video (if played outdoors) – This will be the Big 12 opener for both schools with Baylor fresh off a win over Virginia while TCU swept a pair of matches on Sunday against Wisconsin and Incarnate Word.

Sunday will bring us some big time showdowns as #5 Baylor hosts #11 Virginia in Waco, #6 Texas hosts #12 Wake Forest in Austin, and #10 Ole Miss hosts #16 Vanderbilt in Oxford. All 3 of these matches will be played indoors due to poor weather. #11 Virginia (7-1) at #5 Baylor (8-2) – 2pm est – Live Scoring & Video (if outside) & Blog – It was just 2 weeks ago that Baylor upset Virginia 4-3 in the National Indoors Quarterfinals and with temperatures expected to be in the 40s with a chance of rain this one will likely end up indoors too. I expect both Brian Boland and Matt Knoll to do some tinkering with their...

Compared to what we’ll see on Sunday (Virginia at Baylor, Wake Forest at Texas, Vanderbilt at Ole Miss) Saturday should be fairly tame day with just 1 matchup between top 15 schools.

The owners of 38 NCAA Division 1 Men’s Team National Championships will meet on Friday afternoon in Los Angeles as the #1 USC Trojans host the #37 Stanford Cardinal.USC’s media guide shows they lead the all-time series 109-76 with the 1st match played in 1925 while Stanford’s shows USC leads it 63-59 with the 1st match coming in 1967. I’d have to go with USC’s as the more accurate source since I know Stanford was playing tennis long before 1967. Stanford has won 17 NCAA Championships with the last coming in 2000 while USC has won 21 NCAA Championships including 5 of the last 6.USC has won 8 straight in...

The big match of the day in Gainesville had a close doubles point but once Georgia got the early lead it never looked back and ended up pulling away for a 4-1 win.The doubles point looked like it was Florida’s for the taking after the Gators #2 team of Elliott Orkin and Maxx Lipman cruised to a 6-1 win while its #1 tandem of Diego Hidalgo and Gordon Watson jumped out to a 4-2 lead. With Georgia’s #3 team of Wayne Montgomery and Paul Oosterbaan also winning 6-1 the pressure would go back on Georgia’s #1 team of Austin Smith and Ben Wagland and the undefeated tandem wouldn’t go away as they took 3 straight games to go up 5-4 and...
