Men's NCAA Tennis
How did UVA get such a good draw? Because it is a 64 team tournament, we can look at it from a basketball perspective. We are ranked #31 nationally which would be an #8 seed in basketball terms. We should play a #9 seed; instead we get the top #7 seed in Kentucky (#25 nationally). If we win we would then get a #1 seed in Ohio State (#3 nationally). A little off of chalk but close enough. Meanwhile, UVa should be a #12 seed (#48 nationally). They should get a #5 seed. Instead they got VCU who is unranked (rankings are top-50). For the fun of it, let's call them a #16 seed because, as we all know, it is impossible for a #16 seed to win in the first round. If UVa wins, they get the lowest #4 seed in the second round in Columbia (#16 nationally). Something stinks! BTW, we crushed VCU 6-1 last month.
