Next up for the Buckeyes is a trip to UVa for the elite 16 team ITA indoor nationals, running Feb. 17-20.
OSU will be the #3 seed and begins play Friday 9 am vs. #14 Texas.
Would love to see the Buckeyes make a deep run in the tourney although powerhouse and homecourt favorite #2 Virginia potentially awaits in the semis.

Texas should be a good warm-up for Texas A&M who will handle Kentucky pretty easily. After we take care of the Aggies we shall see how good we really are when we take on the Cavaliers who should make it to the semis easier than us.:osu:

Chase Buchanan Named Big Ten Athlete of the Week

The Big Ten Conference selected Chase Buchanan as its athlete of the week.
Congratulations on a 4-0 record Chase and may your exceptional play extend into the weekend ahead.
From the OSU official tennis site.

For the 13th time in his career, Chase Buchanan, a senior on the No. 3 Ohio State men?s tennis team, was named Big Ten Athlete of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday.

Buchanan, No. 28 in the ITA polls, posted a 4-0 record during the weekend at No. 1 singles and doubles. The Buckeye from New Albany, Ohio, downed Louisville?s Andrew Carter 6-1, 6-0 in singles play after teaming with sophomore Blaz Rola in doubles and beating the Cardinals pair of Robert Hall and Seb Stiefelmeyer 8-0 Feb. 9. Both wins helped the Buckeyes to a 6-1 victory over Louisville and improved to 10-1 all-time vs. the Cardinals, including a 6-0 ledger under head coach Ty Tucker.

In Ohio State?s Big Ten opener at Michigan State Feb. 12, Buchanan defeated Aaron Pfister 6-1, 6-0. In doubles, Buchanan and Rola once again were successful, besting Pfister and Drew Lied 8-3 to lift the Scarlet and Gray to a 7-0 win vs. the Spartans. With the victory, the Buckeyes won their 12th-consecutive Big Ten opener, while moving to 41-35 all-time vs. Michigan State.

For the season, Buchanan has collected three Big Ten Athlete of the Week honors. In all, it is Ohio State?s seventh this season.
Up next, the Buckeyes head to Charlottesville, Va., to compete with 15 other teams in the ITA National Team Indoor Championships Feb. 17-21. They won the ITA Kick-Off Weekend earlier this season to earn the chance to compete at the prestigious event.

Texas returns six letterwinners from the 2010-11 squad that reached the round of 32 at the NCAA Championships and the semifinals of the Big 12 Championships. Junior Daniel Whitehead totaled a 12-2 fall singles record and capped the fall by winning the Southwest Shootout, where he defeated teammate Soren Hess-Olesen in the finals.

Sophomore Sudanwa Sitaram registered a 9-6 fall singles record. At Virginia (Feb. 3), Sitaram took the Cavaliers' top-ranked Mitchell Frank to a third set match tiebreak, where he fell by a 10-3 count. He returned to defeat North Carolina's Esben Hess-Olesen, 6-4, 0-6, 7-6 (2) in the Horns' victory in Chapel Hill.
Junior Chris Camillone notched a 6-5 fall singles record and posted a 6-4, 6-3 win over North Carolina's Oystein Steiro in UT's win over the Tar Heels. Texas also welcomes the return of junior Alex Hilliard, who won a pair of matches last month at the Key Biscayne Invitational.
Freshmen Soren Hess-Olesen posted a 10-4 fall singles record while reaching the singles finals at a pair of fall events, the Racquet Club Collegiate Invitational and the Southwest Shootout. Hess-Olesen posted a 7-6 (4), 5-7, 6-2 win over North Carolina's 30th-ranked Jose Hernandez in Texas' 5-2 win over the Tar Heels. Freshman Jacoby Lewis won four fall singles matches and won the consolation draw at the Southwest Shootout. Newcomer Lloyd Glasspool posted a pair of singles victories in his collegiate debut last month at the Key Biscayne Invitational. The Englishman notched a 6-1, 3-6, 6-1 win over North Carolina's Joey Burkhardt at fourth singles before adding a victory against Texas A&M (Feb. 10). Texas also welcomes Australian freshman Joey Swaysland, who made his collegiate debut last month at Rice and picked up his first win last weekend at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
