I don't know a lot about tennis, but I wonder how 6-12 TCU passed NT in the rankings.

TCU is a perennial top 30 team that is down right now, although they have also played a rough schedule. They also have severa 4-3 losses and a 4-3 win over UT.

UNT does not have that luxury yet and the 7-0 whipping by Tulsa few weeks back does not help.

unfortunately the team laid an egg once again when facing a Top 50 team.

They lost 7-0 to FL, 7-0 to GTech, 7-0 to Tulsa, 5-2 to FIU, and now 6-1 to Rice today at home.

untbowler, I thought you were supposed to be the "resident tennis expert"... Tennis lost to Ga Tech 6-1. Paula Dinuta took a match from the Yellow Jackets...

That doesn't excuse the fact that they lose to these teams, but in tennis one player can really make the difference.

Well crap missed that one singles win, will be curious to see how quickly the team's early signee will get acclimated in the fall. Only losing one player to graduation so 7 of Top 8 should return barring attrition.

As for this year, outside of FIU the Belt is weak this year nationally, usually three team are ranked. Denver has injuries, USA has issues with fielding a full team, and UNT has not been able to get a breakout win on the national level.

Conference should be interesting with UNT getting the #2 seed, assuming they take care of business this weekend against MTSU and Troy, and getting a rematch with Denver in the SF.

The tennis team took care of business this past weekend and should be the #2 seed in the Conference Tournament next weekend, behind #1 FIU. The tournament is down in New Orleans.

After #1-2 there is no telling who will be #3, probably Denver although Troy could make a push for it as well.

IMO anything less than an appearance in the finals would probably be a disappointment.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Nice walk off win in the 9th....4-3....on a homer by Molly Rainey. All three homers today by seniors....Molly, Kailey Gamble (tied it at 3 in the 7th)...and Kalei Christensen....with a solo blast for our first run. Skylar gets the win....in relief of Mackenzie Wagoner. Great win.....game two coming up soon.

      This is the point I think has never been critically consider because of the greed of EVERYONE ELSE besides the players. The old system was never sustainable because the schools had very little invested in the players actually get the best education available at their schools. If guaranteed 4 year scholarships (with an option after 2 years) were the standard or breakable by the student I don't think we have the madness of today. The other major part is the lack of standardization and revenue sharing for all school playing at a particular level. How do you expect the players or coaches to have any loyalty when the schools have no loyalty to protect the health overall college sports. 🤷🏽‍♂️

      Somebody explain how the runner that was hit with the batted ball was called safe? These umpires are horrible.

      Good. Offer them a NIL deal and let them pay for their education. They shouldn't receive both.

      Wichita St with a wind aided HR in the top of the 5th to make it 2-1. Waggoner is pitching a heck of a game, but we need a few runs to pad the lead.
