Friday brought us several close ones as 6 matches finished with a 4-3 final score though of course there were several that weren’t as close most notably 3 of the 4 in Indian Wells. The big upset of the day came in Louisville as the #29 Cardinals stunned #10 North Carolina 5-2. It looked like #7 Texas A&M might get picked off too however the Aggies rallied late and held off #35 Mississippi State 4-1. #33 Drake came back from 3-0 down to stun #22 Harvard 4-3 and #23 LSU pulled out a tight 4-3 win on the road at #60 Alabama.In the biggest match of the day #12 Wake Forest ran its winning streak to 4 with a 5-2 win over #16 Virginia...

The beat goes on for #4 Illinois as the Illini rolled into College Station today and rolled out several hours later with a 4-2 win over #9 Texas A&M. Illinois was without its #1 Farris Gosea for the 2nd day in a row but just as they did against Texas the rest of the guys rallied and got it done. The day didn’t start off too well for Illinois as Texas A&M rolled at 1 and 2 doubles winning both courts by a 6-2 score. Interesting comment below from Dancer about him feeling they played better doubles today than yesterday despite winning yesterday and losing today.Both teams slightly altered their singles lineups by switching 5 and 6 but...

Another day brings another big match for Illinois as the Illini will try to make it 2 Top 10 wins in as many days after making the 100 mile trek from Austin to College Station. What’s still unknown is whether we’ll see the Illini’s #1 Farris Gosea but I’d have to say that I would be more than surprised if he was available for action today. For Texas A&M to take this one they’ll need to play much better than they did on Friday night against a Vanderbilt team that was down its #1 while for Illinois to take it they’ll need to play with the same urgency and tenacity that they played with yesterday against Texas. The...

Well the big match of the day was actually a good bit closer than I thought it would be after noticing that Vanderbilt was without its #1 singles player #10 Gonzales Austin who also makes up the #1 doubles team in the country with Rhys Johnson. I still haven’t seen anything official from anyone on why AJ didn’t play but if I had to guess I’d say he was under the weather which I can relate to. The one thing I don’t get is how neither of the school’s press releases bothered to even mention the fact that Austin didn’t play. I mean if the starting quarterback on the football team didn’t play it’d have to...
