The ITA national team indoor tournament will be played 2/15-18, but the early rounds will not likely be televised, maybe the finals.

When I find a link to the live stream video from U Washington, I will try to post it.

I like our chances in an indoor event,
It will be interesting to see what the seeding looks like.
I don't believe the ITA team rankings will change until next week,
so Bucks would likely receive the #4 seed,
on the same side of the draw as #1 UVA.
Stay tuned and Go Bucks!

Singles Split
Rola was the first to claim victory for Ohio State and tied the match at 1-1 with his defeat of Ore 6-4, 6-2 at No. 1 singles. Then two of the Buckeyes? three ranked players were upset when Vinsant defeated No. 30 Chris Diaz 6-1, 6-4 and Withrow beat No. 30 Connor Smith 6-3, 6-4 on courts four and five, respectively. With Ohio State down 3-1, Callahan came through with an upset of his own, earning a 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over No. 87 Szabo , moving Ohio State to within one point.

You know when I got my B.S. in clinical nutrition I called my English teacher from H.S. and laughed at him because he told me I'd need to be great at grammar to get a degree...you think my speeling...grammar is bad you ought to see some doctors I know...WOW!!! Then again they are worried about people that have been half burned alive or children with cancer not how you spell peak/pique...Nobody outside Art majors...English teachers...give a shit...seriously...I would wipe my ass with an degree in English.

Now back to Tennis.
