Friday Schedule#16 Southern Cal at Arizona – Arizona has had a seemingly cursed season with several close losses. They won’t have to worry about that this weekend as USC should win this match fairly easily. Prediction: USC 4-0#31 Cal at #4 Stanford – Stanford won the first meeting between these two rivals back in February 4-1. Cal has improved since the last meeting and Stanford’s elite aura has been somewhat diminished since February. The Bears will give the Cardinal a closer match this time around. Prediction: Stanford 4-3Washington at #35 Utah – Utah needs to defend the home court against unranked Washington to...

Big weekend coming up in the ACC. Today I will preview the Friday matches (Saturday/Sunday preview to come early on Saturday).There is actually one Thursday match but it is Florida State at Boston College and we all know how the BC ACC matches go.#1 Wake Forest at #39 Louisville – Louisville got a very much needed win last weekend at Duke. It kept their ranking from sinking below 40 and stopped the string of three straight ACC losses. Wake Forest did not look extremely impressive vs Clemson and Georgia Tech last weekend but they were able to get two wins despite some players missing for Davis Cup. This match will be closer than people may expect...

For the men it’s Mississippi State at Texas A&M Friday night in what amounts to a winner-take-all match as it would be a complete shock if either team lost to LSU or Auburn Sunday after winning this match. On the women’s side you have Florida, South Carolina and Vanderbilt in a three-way tie and we get Vanderbilt at South Carolina and Vanderbilt at Florida. Assuming that Florida and...

Last week I took a look at the men’s conference races so now it’s time for the women. There will be 30 women’s conference tournaments this year with each winner earning an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. The only conference that does not have a tournament is the Ivy League which awards its automatic berth to the regular season champion. The only school that won’t be able to defend its conference title will be Wichita State which moved from Missouri Valley to the American after winning nine straight MVC titles. There will be 33 at-large bids into the NCAA Tournament with the at-large ranking cutoff expected to be 41 or...
