After a great first half of the day in Tulsa we were treated to a gem in the evening as Georgia and USC went toe-to-toe for the better part of three hours.

The day started off in College Station with the resumption of Saturday’s match between Texas A&M and Texas and it finished in Lubbock with SMU kicking the door down and stunning Texas Tech.When the season started if you told me that Texas would be in Tulsa for the NCAA Round of 16 I would have told you to go see a doctor. Well Texas made a believer of me and many today after going into enemy territory and knocking off Texas A&M in a 4-3 thriller.The match originally began on Saturday but after Texas A&M took the doubles point the match was stopped...

It was a beautiful Saturday morning in Memphis with blue skies paving the way for a pair of action packed semifinals that were played simultaneously with a 9 a.m. central start. All 12 courts were available on Saturday after only having 10 available on Friday due to a crack near the center line on court 1.The top-seed South Florida faced the No. 4 seed Tulane in one of the semifinals. South Florida had to feel fairly confident coming into the match because they just beat Tulane 5-2 less than two weeks ago in a match that was played at Tulane.It looked like South Florida was going to run away with the doubles point but the Bulls would have trouble closing it...
