Ags, Baylor may claim that Dorsch let-up and allowed Newport to beat him in Waco--but look at today's line-up. The Baylor coach shifts his lineup to try and insure at least a win in 3 singles matches and puts the #l player in America in the 2 spot opposite our Soph, Lester Cook. Would it ever be great if Lester wins and the Ags upset the #l seed. Gig'em Ags

t.u. did the same thing with simon and zarhi. i don't care if simon lost every match all season and sprained both of his ankles, he is still better than zarhi.

i'm sure the dark lord will have an interesting explanation. at any rate, typical sip and bear tennis.

Not looking so good right now. Lost doubles pretty convincingly and down a set quickly at both 5 and 6.

wow...lester takes the first set. still confused as to why newp/khaled are playing 2 and not 3 dubs now(sure they got pasted at 2, but there's a big difference between baylor's 2 and 3 teams...and with lester and ante up a break at 1...) at least all the first sets we lost up top were close.

Newport loses 7-6, 6-2. It looks like we're about done.

The real question is...did we lose out on a regional? If so, where do we go?

cook up 5-3 in the 2nd after winning the first, hope he gets to finish his match.

and if texas does happen to pull a win, or a close match, out of their asses against baylor tomorrow, then i'm afraid we did lose our shot at a regional. and then, unfortunately, we will probably either play in waco or austin. austin i'm fine with...waco scares me.

cook wins his match, now 3-1. ante and matt 2 games from going into a 3rd. is khaled's 5-2 hole too big to overcome?

Khaled just lost...we lose 4-1. Nice win for Cook though.

Even if t.u. loses tomorrow (which I anticipate), I think they'll get a regional before us. They did beat us both times they played us this year.

Hopefully we don't get sent to Waco for the regional. That's about all I can hope for right now.

The NCAA will not send us to Waco.

Doesn't the top 16 host a regional I think we will defintely be in the top 16 so don't worry about..Also what the hell is Cass thinking putting Newp and Kahlid at two doubles they got spanked.

i think the other coaches have complained that newp/el dorry at 3 is a stack. they are much better than the freshman, have lost only once, and have a national ranking. they are definitely the #2 dbls team ahead of nallon/loucks.

i agree. kinda like zarhi playing ahead of simon.

Cory, Just for your information, John and Matt had a hell of a fall season and were nationally ranked. But even with Newp at 3, it doesnt compare to something like Simon at 2 after playing 1 for 50+ matches.

JCH, i agree john and matt had a good fall, but the fall and spring are totally different. especially for freshmen. Newp and anyone are better than the freshmen. But I totally agree with Simon at 2 is a joke. At least the freshmen played 2 most of the year, not just one match like Zahri.

Very true, but also Simon had played the last 58 matches at #1, maybe more but the records were a little fuzy. I think the reason that Khaled and Newp play 2 is mostly because John and Matt know each other a lot better with doubles since they have played together all fall, thats the only reason I see them as being over newp. When it comes to clutch points I trust newp with anything, but experience together does help sometimes. But Simon at 2 is a load of crap
