Weekend PreviewThere are plenty of ranked versus ranked matches this week though only a handful of top 10 tilts. I mentioned three of the bigger men’s and women’s matches in my What To Watch article on the ITA’s site and down below I’ve got a list of all the matches to keep an eye on this weekend.
There are two tournaments on the men’s side with Texas A&M Corpus Christi hosting the HEB Tournament of Champions while Pacific and New Mexico will co-host the Pacific Mountain Invitational. South Alabama is the only top 50 team at the HEB while Cal Poly is the only top 50 team at the PMI.
Top ranked Ohio State hosts a pair of top 30 opponents with No. 29 Notre Dame coming into Columbus tonight while No. 4 Oklahoma visits on Sunday.
Eighth ranked Texas has a chance to avenge its loss from two weeks against Wake Forest on Saturday but win or lose they’ll be back on the court on Sunday against Rice.
Illinois will try to rebound from a loss at Purdue but it won’t be easy with both Texas Tech and Northwestern coming in for a Friday doubleheader.
Cornell has its highest ranking in school history but it’ll have to play well to pick up wins at Indiana and Memphis.
This is opening weekend for SEC conference action with Georgia trying to defend its regular season title by opening up at Vanderbilt and Kentucky. Florida is the highest ranked team in the conference and it’ll open up with visits from Texas A&M and a reeling LSU. Auburn, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Mississippi State are the only schools that don’t play two conference matches this weekend.
The only top 10 matchup on the women’s side will take place in Tempe but it won’t involve Arizona State. Second ranked Ohio State and ninth ranked Pepperdine are in town to play ASU and each other with the later meeting happening on Saturday afternoon.
I have live scoring/video links for each of these matches available for all my CTT subscribers so login to view those or if you haven’t subscribed yet go ahead and get on board.
