Sorry I can’t answer your questions about the MSU match, when Buckeyes go outdoors it can be a challenge for Stearns, Okonkwa and even Kim.
Byers, Anthrop and Bernard should be more effective.
chatter on the talk tennis site included these observations by Choski 94.
“The MSU match was crazy. Wind over the supposed limit to play outdoors but was told Big Ten made the decision to play outdoors regardless. We were there. Things were flying everywhere. It's a great neutralizer but MSU did play really well, too.”

“I was told by the facilities director that the Big Ten made the call. And I partially agree with you - wind is part of playing outside but when items are flying and rolling around it can be unsafe. That match went on forever as well because of all the let calls with balls and other items rolling and flying onto other courts.”The wind is an equalizer for sure. Kinda strange to hear the conference made the call. Always thought the wind rule is up to both coaches and they have to both agree to either cancel, reschedule/postpone, move indoors or play in the wind, not the conference. BTW, the wind rule is soft.
