As often as various teams have ended up as ncaa runner ups the last 15 to 20 years, we are One Short University. Not a swipe at any team or athletes, just an observation.

I was thinking the same thing (and I've included the entire athletic department, not just men's tennis).

I guess if you look at a whole and overall performance (looking at Director's Cup standings), men's tennis is the best program on the campus when looking at the past 20 years (Fencing and Rowing used to be up there but have both fallen off).

It’s over, 4-0 UVA, with the Buckeyes playing well at the 4/5/6 spots but not good enough at 1/2/3.

UVA was the defending NCAA Champ, and their top-4 guys were all ranked in the NCAA top-100 when they won it last year, and they all came back. They were a helluva tough #5 seed.

And they’ve earned this, downing #4, #1, and #3 since Friday.

UVA is the gold standard and are so dang battle tested. I think both programs share the same philosophy which is play the best, play anywhere, it is fine to take an L if it helps you develop and not to be so focused on a clean record. It's the mental block or hurdle of winning that first one and when the pressure is off they can flood in, but you have to think the whole program is incredibly aware of winning their first outdoors championship. Given all the changes that occurred, this was still an absolutely phenomenal year and we saw some really impressive performances from many guys, but a special shoutout to the freshmen duo of Anthrop & Bernard. They showed a ton of mettle against Arizona and TCU and while I am bummed we didn't break through for it all, I loved the ride along the way!

Last 20 years, fencing has won 3 national championships and were runner up an additional 3 times They're still a solid top 5 program. but the domers are pretty much unbeatable right now (3x defending champs going into next year). Football is the only sport that comes close and you have to expand out to 22 years (2 championships and 3 runner ups).

Congrats to uva, they won the crucial points.
Some of us Buckeye fans were observing, the high percentages of deciding points (40-40) in both the dubs and singles where Virginia elevated their play or Bucks made an error.
That was so noticable that we began to say "oh not another one"...
I told myself on the way home I would want to check the score tallies, look up deciding point w/l %, but alas i am still in the grief process and can't bear to open the wound again.

Skull Session: Tony Petitti is Cleaning Up Kevin Warren's Mess, FanDuel Releases Updated Heisman Odds and Gene Smith and Urban Meyer Honor "Ohio Legend" Jim Brown

The Ohio State men's tennis team fell short of a national championship in 2023. Head coach Ty Tucker had some words for that: “I'm not disappointed at all. People don't know how hard it is to get here." He later added: “We're in a good spot, and we're gonna get a little better this summer, and we hope to be back.”

Hey, this was an excellent year for the tOSU men's tennis team. At the beginning of the season I thought that scUM was the team to beat (scUM basically had everybody back) in the B1G and the Buckeyes would be lucky to win the B1G. The 2022/2023 Men's Tennis Teamsure exceeded my expectations. they beat scUM 3 times and went to the National Championship Game. Now the burning question that we all want to know:

Who comes back next year?

JJ Tracy: Should be back, he'll be a Senior.

Alexander Bernard and Jack Anthrop: RS-Freshman and Freshman, both should be back.

Cannon Kingsley and Justin Boulais, and Robert Cash: Could be back for a 5th (COVID) year.

If these 6 come back, the 2023-2024 team should be really good.

Andrew Lutschaunig: He was a RS-Senior, he redshirted 1 year and played 4. He might have a COVID year left too.

Reece Yakubov and Preston Stearns; RS-Freshman and Freshman, didn't play much but should return too.

James Trotter: Played 5 seasons and should be out of eligibility.

Also, just how good are the incoming Freshman (Bryce Nakashima, Brandon, Carpico, and Alex Fuchs) and can any of the 3 (seriously) compete for a "singles spot"?

Not enough choking people over checkers and honestly it's not how we'd want our athletes to act most of the time. Occasionally you need a ref ass to do something "questionable" to win it all. Not blatantly illegal just borderline unsportsmanlike to change the game/ series. Case in point UGA knocking Harrison out of the game our knocking McGahee out of the game vs Miami. Unless you're head and shoulders above the rest it takes something dramatic which we don't usually do.

Most of the time I'm pretty sure we prefer folks that don't do that and that gets us second place a lot of times.

The last time I checked tennis wasn't a contact sport. However, a player could try this:
