I stayed up and watched it, that was good stuff. It was tighter than 4-1 looks for sure, as Rodesch was down a set at #1 and Botzer was at like 5-5 in the 3rd set at #6.

Women up next at 2PM Eastern today against defending champion Texas. The #1 singles court should be a good watch, as Navarro at UVA is ranked #1 in singles in the country and Stearns at Texas is #2.

He had just won the 2nd set 7-5 about a minute before it ended.

Yeah, same. This morning came really early, but it was worth it. Great win, that was a dogfight the whole way. Probably would have ended 4-3 with mostly tight matches.

Illinois is was the host, and if you went through there website there was a li k to something called TennisONE that had streams going of all 6 courts.

It looks a little janky especially on computers (I assume it looks better in their phone app), but it does work: TennisONE

It’ll be a rematch versus Kentucky who we beat in a tight 4-2 match earlier in the season

Anywhere to watch that?

Some years in the past, the championship has been broadcasted by ESPNU. This year from what I can tell, it’s just the TennisOne app/website again: TennisONE

Yeah it’s better on phones or tablets.

I appreciate that they have had Mike Cation on commentary, who is basically the voice of tennis in the US that is below the elite pro level: Meet Mike Cation, the hardest working man in tennis | Tennis.com

Looking promising, as they won the doubles point, and 4 out of 6 first sets. Just need to win 3 singles matches!
