Of course people kind of scurry around the rules by shouting for another player on another court in the middle of a point.

They are in the doubles point right now. ohio state going for their 4th indoor title while Texas going for their first.

the first computer rankings of the year come out this week for men's tennis. The rankings that will be used for the rest of the year.

LSU will be VERY high in them. Likely the highest of any SEC team (unless Texas beats Ohio State in the national indoor final tonight).

The Tigers are 9-1 with wins over top 20 teams Clemson, Pepperdine, Arizona, Texas A&M and UCF. Only loss is to top 5 TCU.

SEC play starts already this coming weekend. I will post how the SEC shapes up in these rankings when they are released either tomorrow or Thursday

Every team is guaranteed 3 matches. So the 0-2 teams play the 0-2 teams in the last match.

Like A&M lost to LSU so now they will play UC-Santa Barbara who is also 0-2.

Yeah the NCAA championships are outdoor in May. This is the indoor national championships, run by the ITA (college tennis governing body).

The results still mean a lot for rankings for the season moving forward before SEC play starts next week

coming down a 3rd set on court #2.

Lost on courts 1 and 3 but won on 4-6
