In case you wondered what the top 10 ITA rankings looked like:

Rank Team Conference W - L Points WTN
1 Wake Forest (M) Atlantic Coast Conference 23 - 0 94.78 5.0
2 TCU (M) Big 12 Conference 13 - 2 79.97 5.0
3 Ohio State (M) Big Ten Conference 14 - 2 70.17 5.0
4 University of Texas at Austin (M) Southeastern Conference 15 - 3 67.58 4.4
5 NC State (M) Atlantic Coast Conference 14 - 4 64.98 5.9
6 University of Virginia (M) Atlantic Coast Conference 11 - 5 63.42 6.7
7 University of San Diego (M) West Coast Conference 14 - 2 62.68 5.9
8 Stanford (M) Atlantic Coast Conference 12 - 4 59.75 5.0
9 Columbia (M) Ivy League 9 - 3 56.56 6.2
10 Harvard (M) Ivy League 11 - 3 46.69 7.0
Just sayin': Back on 2 Feb 2025 Ohio State did play Wake Forest in Winston Salem NC. The Buckeyes lost: however, the match was real close.


In fact WF just beat Ohio State, Texas, TCU, and Georgia by a score of 4-3. I'll say that Wake Forest is very good: however, they are still beatable. The key to beating Wake Forest is to win the doubles point.

Early in the season I projected that this weekend would offer the ultimate challenge for the Bucks to win another Big ten title.
Both tcun and msu are 5-1 in the conference and will have home court Where they are difficult to beat.
Absolutely love to see how Tucker is developing his younger players.
Nakashima, carpico, Filin, and Stearns are making some major contributions in crucial matches.


“No. 3 Ohio State will travel north to compete against No. 20 Michigan and Michigan State this weekend. The Buckeyes will take on the Wolverines at 6 p.m. on Friday and the Spartans at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

  • Friday will be the 126th all-time meeting between the Buckeyes and the Wolverines. Michigan leads the series 71-50-3, but Ohio State is 38-5 since Ty Tucker took over in 2000.
  • Ohio State defeated Michigan three times last season, the final match resulting in Ohio State claiming the Big Ten Tournament title for the 17th time.
  • In a non-conference match earlier this season in Columbus, the Buckeyes won the doubles point and then rolled to wins on courts 3-6 to claim a 5-0 victory over the Wolverines.
  • Michigan is 11-7 overall and 5-1 in conference play. The Wolverines have only lost one match this season on their home court.
  • Ohio State and Michigan State will meet for the 96th time on Sunday afternoon.
  • The Buckeyes are 58-34-3 against the Spartans with their first matchup occurring in the 1933 season.
  • Last season’s win for the Buckeyes was their 31st consecutive win over Michigan State dating back to when Ty Tucker took over in 2000.
  • Michigan State is 10-6 overall and 5-1 in conference play. The Spartans have yet to lose on their home court this season.
  • The Buckeyes are ranked No. 3 in the latest ITA rankings and have been in the Top 4 all year.
  • Three Buckeyes are ranked in the singles rankings. Aidan Kim is No. 13, Alexander Bernard is No. 52, and Jack Anthrop is No. 77.
  • In doubles, Bryce Nakashima and Will Jansen are ranked No. 41.
  • The doubles team of Brandon Carpico and Nikita Filin have won 10 consecutive matches and is 16-2 overall on the season. Carpico leads the team with a 28-3 doubles record.

Bucks were in a deep hole, lost dubs point and 4 first sets.
tcun went up 2-0 w. court 5 Win.
Bucks will need to find 3 more points to escape w a win.

edit # Jansen puts point 2 on the board with a straight set win.
little more hope as…
#1 Bernard and #6 Carpico take 2nd set and head to a third.
