Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 17 Straight B1G Titles)

Bucks are in Waco TX tonight 7 pm for the first of 3 matches against top 15 Texas schools.
This Baylor team will bring a battle in a very hostile facility,
A veteran and experienced Buckeye squad can’t afford to play sloppy, lapse in focus or have an off day.

Gracel, thanks for the indoor best-of-field rankings, great to see so many Buckeyes on it. However, could you clear the fog away for me? Thought tOSU fielded not one, but two top rated doubles teams. Yet they're not listed 1-3 on 'best of show'.....surprising to me at least.

Good observation @calibuck.
Yes, Cash and Tracy are ita ranked as #4 dubs team (Tracy and Bernard are #17) but these are based mostly on fall wins.
Had hoped that last year's ncaa dubs champion Lutshaunig might show out again this year but his results are spotty. He and Boulais are 4-5 at the 1 line.
It appears this 2024 season, Coach Tucker and Kronauge are experimenting with different lineups to find optimum performance. I believe they will need to get focused quickly because the Texas trip will be brutal if they drop dubs again. Even Big ten matches will become more challenging.
At the ITA indoors, our doubles teams struggled, thus no Bucks dubs pairs made the all tournament team. OSU dropped 3 of the 4 doubles points but recovered in singles for the wins.
In his Post championship match interview, Tucker confessed he really got passionate w the team after they dropped the dubs point vs TCU.
It was obvious he was counting on that point as a critical one needed for a path to 4.
