  1. To second how good Marta is, she beat the second best player on the Baylor in the fall season. A shame half of her college career was COVID and ACL injury. UNC losing yesterday was a massive disappointment for them. To be fair, they were under massive pressure- anything less than a championship would have been considered an underachievement. Today's match will be tough. The only match I'd say we have a slight advantage may be at six (with either Labrana or Rapolu). Everything else is pretty even. Turati lost to Faila last year. Hopefully Peyton's good form continues.
  2. On the Cracked Rackets podcast, Pepperdine head coach Per Nilsson was saying how much injuries his team has had (with concerns of not fielding a full team). Lexi has had shoulder inflammation for most of this season. She has been in and out playing one match in March and then suddenly playing again in R32 against Stanford (and being soundly beaten). That's the scary thing of Pepperdine. They're not at 100% and yet they're STILL in the finals. Both Ryngler and Iamachinke would be in the top 6 singles lineup if fully healthy.
  3. Pepperdine wins the doubles point, which they needed. I feel like UNC's line 5 and 6 are strong favorites in their matches.
  4. Guo and Park having not played at the regionals are now playing in the NCAAs
  5. If anything about reputation...there's an actual twitter thread going on right basically calling out the current Line 4 player at UF. One poster is showing multiple clips of him hooking different opponents. Present and past NCAA players have joined in.
  6. I really have to second that ? on that thread. I may be some years removed from undergrad but never got that sense about Texas. If anything it was the old Baylor coach Matt Knoll that had an extremely bad reputation in the state. May be from judging from the outside but Berque seems a bit docile and mild mannered.
  7. Rain delay for the UF and A&M match 😈 Awesome- keep delaying this match (even if it's just a short delay)
  8. Should also mention that OU and Texas Tech's head coaches also played for Texas
  9. Yep- check on TexAgs. Feelings for him have always been on and off due to his alum status. Some are convinced that he'd jump ship if he was ever offered the UT job.
  10. Best hope that UF and A&M match will drag out as long as possible Not sure how much is left in the tank for these players
  11. What a match! Huang stepped up big (lost 0 and 1 to the same opponent earlier in the year). Next opponent is either Florida or A&M. Have won against both teams this year.
  12. Spizzirri had break points in the second game of the third set. Alas he couldn't convert and lost six games in a row. Siem just lost his break Huang held and needs one more game!
  13. Just a preview of tomorrow's match- Texas and NC State played last year with Texas winning 4-3 after losing the doubles point. NC State's doubles are really good and I won't be surprised if they won the doubles point. That said I still like most of Texas' matchups in singles. Anna and Fernanda should be playing the same opponents as last year (which they both won). Hopefully Peyton will continue her form from the last match. I also think Kylie will play better tomorrow compared to her last two matches (played against players with semi pushing styles) as her opponent's game is also that of a ball striker.
  14. NC State in the Final Four! Really good doubles team. FSU did beat NC State in the regular season. Really good to see Peyton absolutely crush her opponent today.
  15. Breaks on 1, 3, 4, and 6 already. Keep going!!!
  16. Won the dubs point. Just need 3 more singles matches. Should be interesting- Anna should be very familiar with her opponent. NC State upset Georgia

    Rowing

    What an interesting poll...Texas number one despite getting less first place votes than Washington. Some coaches must have punished UW for not sweeping all the races at the Pac 12s.
  18. Comeback complete! On to the Elite 8!
  19. Yeah he called out on deuce but up chair over ruled At least he had the composure to hold serve at love. Get the break!

    You're right https://texassports.com/news/2021/5/14/no-2-rowing-preview-big-12-championship.aspx "Originally scheduled to take place on Sunday, the regatta was moved up one day due to thunderstorms forecasted for that morning." Excited to see how this team does at NCAAs. People on RowingIllustrated are basically saying it's going to be a UT vs. UW shootout (UT has also been closing the gap on the coaches poll this past month)
  21. Won the doubles point. Ohio State would be the next opponent if Texas gets the three singles wins.
  22. NW (one of the last two teams in) beats UCLA
  23. UCLA and Northwestern going on Should be noted that UCLA's top player got into a pretty serious car accident and has not been in the lineup since
  24. Elliot and Micah are selected for NCAA singles while Elliot and Siem are in the doubles draw
  25. Peyton and Anna get single bids Lulu and Kylie get doubles bids I honestly wonder how many selections will actually want to stay and play the individual tournament
