[QUOTE="Longfrog, post: 2718257, member: 26611"] Tomorrow the #10 Frogs will face #7 Mississippi State for the right to advance to the national quarterfinals. TCU has played the Bulldogs twice this year and won both contests, although they were both early in the season at neutral sites and one was an exhibition. The feature match will be at #1 singles, where national #4 Alex Rybakov will face #1 Nuno Borges. In their previous two matchups, Rybakov won the first and was points away from winning the second when the dual match was halted due to the Frogs winning the deciding point on another court. Despite those two wins, I would think TCU is a pretty clear underdog. They haven't been trending well lately, and this time the match is at Starkville. But if we can pull the doubles point, we'll have a great shot. Singles stats are below, showing records over the entire season, and over the last 10 matches (they don't add up to 10 since matches don't always finish). Some pretty clear trends have emerged for both teams. For TCU, Stalder (#3) and Kruger (#4) were both having really nice seasons up until a few weeks ago, but they have struggled mightily since then. Fortunately, that's around the time when Jong (#6) started to figure things out. For MSU, Foshey (#5) has been great for them all year long, and especially recently. Rakic at #3 was terrible early on but has been great recently. Match starts at 1. Winner would probably face #2 UT. [ATTACH]5683[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
