A big recent result was Mississippi State beating Georgia 4-3 two weeks ago thanks to injury. The match was tied 3-3 and Phillip Henning of Georgia led Trevor Foshey of Miss State 5-2 in the 3rd set. Henning then rolled his ankle and could barely walk but continued to play since he was leading 5-2, but he was basically just hopping around on 1 leg so Foshey was able to win 5 straight games and take the 3rd set 7-5 and clinch the match for Miss State 4-3. Georgia would have easily been in the top 16 with that win.

Thanks for the update.

Florida just beat A&M on Sunday to give them their 1st SEC loss. A&M beat UF 3 times last year including knocking them out of the NCAA tournament in the round of 8.

UF also has given MSU their only conference loss.

Usually it is our women's tennis team at the top of the rankings but they seem to have switched places. The UF ladies are 9-8 this season.

I would say Florida is the favorite to win the national title right now. When you consider that the NCAAs will be in Orlando in mid may, the heat and location will be an advantage for the Gators especially if they face indoor specialists Ohio State
