After a wild and crazy first round of the NCAA Tournament, we had a more tame second round with 9 of the 16 matches being shutouts. 14 of the top 16 seeds advanced with Columbia and South Florida pulling off the mild upsets. #17 Columbia punched its second ever ticket to the Round of 16 with a 4-1 win over #14 Ole Miss. Columbia took the doubles point with wins at 2 and 3 but Ole Miss would take four opening sets in singles. Ole Miss’s Nik Scholtz would even the match at 1-1 with a straight set win over Winston Lin at #1 but Columbia’s Ashok Narayana and Shawn Hadavi would close out their respective matches in straight sets at 3 and 5 to put...
