The match of the day took place in Fort Worth as #10 TCU held on to beat #21 Texas Tech 4-2. TCU had a dominant performance in doubles and then picked up a couple of quick wins from Facundo Lugones and Will Stein at 5 and 6 before having to withstand a Red Raider rally on the other 4 courts.

It was almost a forgone conclusion that Baylor would take the doubles point with how dominant they’d been in doubles play but USC had the point well within grasp. Baylor’s #3 duo of Vince Schneider and Felipe...

This morning I got a chance to watch the Fox Sports Oklahoma telecast of Tuesday’s Oklahoma/Virginia match and I must say I was impressed with the production of the match and the quality of the announcing. The version I watched was taped and edited but they did a good job bouncing around from court to court. They started the telecast a few games into singles and started showing the match at #1 singles but they also showed several games of the Alvarez/Shane match at #2 singles. After those 2 matches finished up they showed the last 3 games of the Webb/Kwiatkowski match and then showed the last several games of the Bragusi/Aragone match....
