Shocker of the day, week, month, year, decade, century, maybe longer – #1 USC playing without Eric Johnson and Nick Crystal goes down to #51 Tulsa 4-3. USC came out strong and really blew out Tulsa in doubles winning 6-1 and 6-0 at 2 and 3 despite having new doubles pairing on each court. Eric Johnson did play in doubles but I guess it was a coaches decision to give him and Nick Crystal the day off in singles and it ultimately proved to be costly. Still even with those 2 guys out of the singles lineup you figure there is no way that Hanfmann and Quiroz are both going to lose and sure enough they both did in straight sets. When I was looking at...

Compared to what we’ll see on Sunday (Virginia at Baylor, Wake Forest at Texas, Vanderbilt at Ole Miss) Saturday should be fairly tame day with just 1 matchup between top 15 schools. Below are the best ones that I saw on the docket so check them out if you get a chance.#34 South Carolina (8-6) at #17 Florida (5-3) – 1pm est. – Live Scoring – South Carolina comes into this one on a 3-match losing streak which includes a 4-2 loss on Thursday to Auburn while Florida is coming off a tough 4-1 loss to Georgia. Florida is 4-4 in doubles while South Carolina is 11-3 with both dropping the doubles point the last time...

It was a rainy Sunday across much of the country and while several matches were cancelled due to a lack of indoor courts those that had them put them to use. The matches that were cancelled were Tulsa at Texas A&M, Tennessee vs. Georgia Southern (@ Troy, AL), and a pair of consolation matches at the Blue Gray Classic in Montgomery, Alabama – Boise State vs. Alabama and Auburn vs. Mississippi State. Baylor’s home match with UCLA was moved indoors and in the blink of an eye it was over with the Bears rocking UCLA 4-0 in less than 2 hours. Baylor improved to 10-0 on the year in doubles with a pair of easy wins at 2 and 3 and were also...

Rain is in the forecast in many parts of the country so matches are being cancelled or being moved indoors. Here is my preview of the bigger matches on Sunday (Texas A&M/Tulsa already cancelled due to rain).#23 Vanderbilt (8-2) at #25 Harvard (8-2)- 12pm est – Harvard Twitter & Video – Both teams have beaten Minnesota over the last 2 days with Vandy squeaking out a 4-3 win on Friday while Harvard throttled the Gophers pretty good on Saturday by a 5-2. Vandy is 7-2 in doubles while Harvard is 8-2 so it should be a pretty exciting start to the the match. I could see Harvard winning the match despite...

For the 2nd night in a row Champaign was the scene of a nail-biter but this time it was the host Illini coming out on top as they gutted out a 4-3 win over #6 North Carolina in a match that saw 5 of 6 singles matches go the distance with the deciding match coming down to a 3rd set tiebreak. North Carolina was able to seize the early momentum by taking the doubles point which was a point the Tar Heels figured they’d need due to having 2 of its singles starters (#2 Ronnie Schneider-shoulder & #6 Oystein Steiro-elbow) out with injuries. As evidenced by the the singles scores below nothing would come easy on any of the courts...
