While some conferences are already half way through their schedules others are just beginning. Both the Big 12 and Pac 12 kickoff conference play on Friday while the ACC, SEC, and Big 10 are nearing or have already passed its half way point. Below are the 4 biggest matches of the day so make sure you keep an eye on these.#14 North Carolina (14-6) at #8 Virginia (12-3) – 3pm est – North Carolina’s biggest problem this year has been fielding a healthy starting 6 and there’s a chance that its best 6 players may be on the court on Friday.

After struggling in doubles most of the year, Oklahoma came up big in the finals of the BNP Paribas Collegiate Cup and handed Baylor its first doubles loss of the year and ultimately its 3rd overall loss as the Sooners beat Baylor 4-2. The Oklahoma win was the second over Baylor in the last 5 weeks and they’ll meet up against in Waco on April 10th. Baylor’s #2 team of Julian Lenz and Diego Galeano won easily 6-2 but Oklahoma would win the other 2 courts 6-4 with Dane Webb and Axel Alvarez getting it done on 1 and Spencer Papa and Florin Bragusi winning on 3. It was the first win of the year for the Papa/Bragusi pairing and it...

Saturday had several close ones with both Baylor and Oklahoma pulling through in the BNP Paribas Collegiate Challenge while San Diego and Princeton both won tight ones in the Hilton San Diego Mission Valley Spring Classic. There was also a good one in Nashville where Vanderbilt won a 3rd set tiebreak in the deciding match to avoid getting upset by unranked Kentucky. The headliner of the day was between #3 Baylor and #4 USC. 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....
