Huge win for the women's squad. If we can pull off the upset, it'd be amazing.

I had it wrong here, UNC is the #2 National seed. But #1 is Vandy, who we beat earlier in the year. So winning tomorrow will be a huge challenge, but not impossible. And then, we would start out the tourney likely playing the #15 seed. Should be fun to watch tomorrow.

Also, in our men’s “regional”, South Alabama upset Memphis in the first match. Memphis has been playing great and I figured they would play us tough tomorrow. South Alabama could give us an easier road to the Round of 16.

Singles update: MSU up on 4 courts, tied on 1 court, down on 1 court

Thanks for this thread Ref. I haven't been into tennis since the McEnroe / Borg / Connors days until my 14 year old son picked up a racket for the first time in his life 18 months ago and he's obsessed. Watches matches all the time. His future H.S. coach gives him free private lessons and is syked about him being on her team next year. She says he'll be the first freshman to make varsity in 6 years at the H.S. And he plays against many who have been playing since they were out of diapers.

I really enjoyed watching us win the SEC against A&M. That Aggie was a little pissed on that double fault to end it, no?
