Does anyone (gracelhink?) have any insight into why Nelson Vick instead of Connor Smith today?

Yesterday's lineup listed that way as well, but when the match started, McCarthy opened at #5 and Smith played at #6.

Connor has been playing doubles with Kobelt for most of the year. He was an excellent doubles player at Florida State. Not sure why Vick isn't playing singles but Smith is a lefty so maybe he just matches up better. Guess you have to trust Tucker:)

My take is they want a fresh body that matches up well against the guy from USC.

Right now we need Smith, McCarthy and Rola to come through.
Smith serving for the set.
McCarthy serving for the set.
Gotta come through when you have balls in hand.
Rola down a break but hanging tough.

 

[gracelhink]

McCarthy and Smith through with the first set 6-3.
rola breaks back to even #2 at 5's

 

[gracelhink]

Just noticed USC replaced Quiroz at #6 with Eric Johnson, dont knw why, but advantage Connor Smith!

 

[gracelhink]

And Rola holds serve to go up 6-5!!!

Yup, things are looking good at #5 and #6 but I think our only hope in the rest of the matches is Rola.
