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

Waking up to hear the back story of this team battling thru covid issues, 3 weeks out from cancelling last 2 conference matches.
Acc. To Tucker’s interview on the official site…
Submitted lineup for the NCAA team tournament 1-10
https://web1.ncaa.org/tennis/exec/l...18&sportCode=MTE&academicYear=2022&division=1
1. Kingsley, 2. Vocel, 3. Tracy, 4. Van Emburgh, 5, Cash, 6. Trotter, 7. Boulais, 8. Lautschaning, 9. Anthrop, 10, Yakubov.
Acc to Coach, Kingsley couldn’t and had not eaten for 30 hours, 8 pm start helped CK
With Trotter, Cash struggling to regain their games, they were dropped from lineup, Boulais moving up from #7 to 5 and then #8 Andrew L got the call minutes before he went onto court 6.
Team Could have folded, with legit excuses but battled like dudes to advance/

Bucks are the top remaining seed after TCU, Florida and Baylor went down in Thursday’s Quarterfinals.
NCAA is getting wiser, staggering starts of semifinals in case they need to move inside
Would love to see NCAA realize how difficult it is to appreciate the tennis with substandard livestream, scoring updates, audio, video productions,
Todays Match vs UK starts at 11 et.



Bucks have beaten UK 4-0 this year at home, but that was a time when all the pieces fell into place…

For tennis geeks, Bobby Knight compared the semifinal showdown with UTR and projected lineups. Will be interesting to see how/if coach Tucker will adjust the lineup with Trotter, Cash, Boulais, Lautschaunig,…

Projection for how Bucks can find 4 points to claim a win over UK and advance to the finals.
1st will need the critical dubs point! This point is so unpredictable, but would love to see Cash and Vocel show why they are the premier dubs team in NCAA, find a win from Kingsley/Tracy at 3 or Luts/Boulais pair at #2.
2nd will depend on a point from Mr. automatic JJ Tracy at #3.
3rd will need the point at #6 where former Buckeye JJ Mercer has been inconsistent for UK.
4th getting a win at 4 line from JVE and/or on the 5 line from Trotter if healthy or Boulais.
The top two courts are so evenly matched that a win from Kingsley or Vocel would be gravy.
Gracelhink prediction;
Bucks prevail 4-2 !!!
with wins in dubs, #3, #6, and #5 line.
