Vi has lost all 4 games in the 3rd set when leading 40-15 or 40-30.
Similar to her doubles match today, unfortunately.

Similar to her doubles match today, unfortunately.
Mia wins the second 7-6. Great battle.
Violeta fighting back from down 5-0. Now 5-2 and V is up 40-15.
Lulu dropped the second 7-6 but I'm fully confident she can take this.
Need V to maintain this comeback. Can't lose a single game.

Violeta now down 5-3. She's up 15-0.
Auburn wins 4-1 - Vi made it interesting winning 3 games in a row. Lu was leading 2-0 in the 3rd. Mia was in the first game of the 3rd.
Just not our day. Need to leave Oklahoma and refocus bc we cannot lose line 4-5-6 if we want a shot at a natty. Doubles was so important today, but Auburn was the better team up and down the lineup. Daria takes player of the day. She is what we need moving forward.
Takeaways from the day. This match reminded me of when we played OU. We did not win the important points on almost every occasion. NOBODY GAVE UP! They all clearly want it. Reality: A few got their butts beat badly singles (surprisingly - could have been more competitive).
Feel really good about this team moving forward. Losing with a full lineup is a wake up call.
WHY NOT US?!

Auburn takes it 4-1. Lot to learn from that match. Doubles impacted us for too long.
I'm confident we can win a rematch. Won't be easy, but doable.
I think they beat Georgia tomorrow and take the #1 seed for NCAAs.

Revenge is a powerful motivator. It will be on our side if we play them again.
LSU takes doubles over Georgia.

And four first sets.
LSU wins 4-1.
Would have been worse if it was played out.
Wish we were playing them for the SEC title.
Oh well. Need to regroup and prepare to win NCAAs.

Head Coach Mark Weaver on what made the difference in Saturday's match...
"I think the doubles went a long way. We played a really good doubles point. We had doubles match points at 5-2 and 5-4 and couldn't finish. I give Auburn the credit. I didn't think we necessarily did anything wrong in the doubles, they just kind of took it from us in the big points. In singles we fought very hard, but we just dug ourselves in too big of a hole. We fought back, but unfortunately Auburn was a little too good for us today. There were definitely some tough conditions out there. It was a little disappointing for such a big match to be played in such rough conditions, but at the end of the day it was the same for both sides. Auburn was just too good for us today."

If the projections are correct, Georgia will still be #1 seed for NCAAs.
Auburn needed the points by beating them in the final to move to #1. Beating LSU doesn't change much.

Where does that leave us?

We will be ranked #3 but may be seeded #4 since Ohio State beat us head to head.
Which means Georgia in semis and Auburn in finals if the seeds all play out.
Lot of tennis between now and the final four.
LSU and Auburn tied at 3-3. A 3rd set is about to start on line 6 to determine the champion.
I think they just said neither of these girls played in the semis.
Gig ‘Em Baby!
LSU and Auburn tied at 3-3.
One full 3rd set at #6 to decide it.
What a run LSU is on. They were the #9 seed. Five matches in five days.

Slightly prefer LSU win. Makes it more likely we get the #3 seed.
Also puts them top 8 and creates a potential upset for the #1 or 2 seed (Georgia and Auburn).
Also slows Auburn momentum. I'd prefer Georgia and Auburn licking their wounds.
LSU up 3-1 in the third on the last match.
LSU down 4-3 (on serve).
Had multiple chances to stretch the lead and couldn't close.

Auburn up 5-3. Four game in a row. Serving for it.
LSU breaks back! Great match.
Now serving at 4-5.

Auburn wins it.
Wonder if anyone tires to hire Jordan away for next year. Auburn has very little tennis history.

Not sure how his ego would be with someone trying to hire him
Where would he go, realistically?

It's a good point. I know the Stanford guy is new but he isn't scaring anyone. Florida just got the Pepperdine coach and will likely be successful.
Someone like Michigan or UVA could upgrade.
I doubt he goes anywhere now. But I think HE thinks he's that good. He doesn't have a good reputation around the country though. People know what the real Jordan now.
Congrats to Auburn, the players and the whole coaching staff.

Even if what you're saying about his reputation is true (which I'm assuming is recruiting violations based on this thread?), when has that ever mattered in coaching? Pitino, Freeze, Meyer, Sampson, etc. Whether it's right or wrong, people care about one thing...results. It's the wild west in college athletics and I don't think any school is going to care about a slap on the wrist he got from illegal recruiting in women's tennis.
Might be time for us to start accepting he is that good. Obviously recruited well here and helped bring us a national championship. Now winning the SEC in his 2nd year as head coach at a school with no tennis history. Just seems like a great time to buy his stock and whichever school does is going to be in a great spot.

If you knew half of what he did, you wouldn't be buying his stock. Maybe you'd think he's a good coach and a recruiter, but wouldn't be a fan.

That was painful to watch. They should have just rock, paper, scissored for the title bc I almost fell asleep.
I'll stick with Mark. Jordan will be good for Auburn, Georgia will continue to be good, OU, tu, LSU…. Our experience will win the next match up against Auburn. They will be losing DJ next year and if he doesn't find someone to play 1 they will be good, but not nearly as good.
Anyway - what a conference!! Gig'em!

Also, if you think he was the main recruiter here, you'd be incorrect. Mark is the head recruiter. Always has been.
