Men’s Tennis update

Elite 8 match against #3 Ohio State is tomorrow at Noon Eastern at NC State. We are the #7 overall seed in the tournament and OSU is the #3.

3 wins away from the team national title.

Immediately after the team championships, the individual competition starts. In singles, Nuno Borges is currently ranked #2 in the country and is the #3 overall seed for the singles tournament. In doubles, our Borges and Rakic combo are currently ranked #1 in the country and are the #1 overall seed in the doubles tournament.

We have a legit shot at potentially 3 national championships in the next 2 weeks. Obviously, the team title is most valued, but the other 2 would be great victories as well.

Ohio State will be incredibly tough...

They are one of 3 programs - along with Wake Forest and UCLA - that have an average of 70+ (all based on matches won/lost per team and quality of competition). Comparatively, we are in the mid-50s. The steers were in the mid-40s.

It’d be a significant upset if we won, but I hope we can pull it off. Nuno has to win his match, and he has been saved by the bell lately.

Have to win the doubles point and Nuno needs to win his match. I like our chances to win 2 of the remaining five courts. Foshey has been great lately on 6.

They are going to put the #4 player in the country against Nuno, ranked #2.
They also have the #36, #99 and #104 ranked players at singles. We have #23 and #84 to counter them.

We need to pull a pat dog and concede Court 2 and try to win 1, 3 and 6. Have to win doubles and we should. We have #1 and #38 against #25 and #68.

OSU had taken in 19 straight times... nice win.

All up to the individuals now....
