Honestly, I'm actually glad there is a day off between the quarters and the semifinals (vs the semis and the finals).

Now that teams have a match under their belt, they can reflect.

Go Buckeyes.

I didn't realize semis weren't tomorrow. Guess that explains why I thought quarters were tomorrow and not today

So play winner of Kentucky tcu? Is that right

Yes, and #4 TCU just won the doubles point.

Boulais lost 3-6, 1-6
Kingsley won 6-2, 6-4
Tracy won 6-3, 6-0
Anthrop lost 2-6, 3-6
Bernard won 5-7, 7-6, 6-1
Cash losing 5-7, 7-6, 1-4

Just sayin': Besides the Buckeyes winning; The good news is that
1) the Bucks won the doubles pont behind Kingsley/Anthrop 6-4 and Tracy/Cash 6-4
2) both Bernard and Cash played tough coming back after losing the 1st set
3) Bernard's comeback win gave the Buckeyes point #4

Not easy but Kingsley, Tracy and Bernard stepped up at the critical time!

Anthrop lost 2-6, 3-6
Bernard won 5-7, 7-6, 6-1
Cash leading 5-7, 7-6, 4-1

2) both Bernard and Cash played tough coming back after losing the 1st set
3) Bernard's comeback win gave the Buckeyes point #4
4) Cash was also winning

Not sure that's right. In one of the final updates from the OSU men's team, they said cash was down 1-3 when Bernard was up 3-1...

Edit: Yea, Cash was losing 4-1 when it ended according to the box score. So Bernard came up real clutch

TCU smoked Kentucky 4-0

Rematch of the Indoor Natty....should be a nail biter.
If the Final 4 is OSU/TCU/Texas/Virginia that is as deep and talented a group as I can remember. Any team could win.

Tucker has often talked postmatch about projecting a pathway to a win,
Today he must be looking at the lines and wondering how and where he can find 4 points in order to advance.
Semis today is a rematch of the national indoor tournament championships,
Back in February, the Bucks dropped the doubles point and 1, 2 singles but came back to claim a 4-3 finals win over TCU with victories at #3 Tracy, #4 Anthrop, #5 Cash and #6 Bernard.
TCU has exceptional dubs and their #1 & 2 singles are playing well enough that a win for osu at 1 or 2 would be a luxury.
Bucks dubs have been much better lately, and a point on the Buckeye board would be huge!
Buckeyes lineup depth is going to be key,
They have to get a point at 3, 5 and 6 then hope Anthrop can rebound from a tough loss from Thursday.
Go Bucks!
