The NCAA D1 Tennis tournament bracket selection shows will be broadcast on Tuesday, May 3:
5 p.m. Eastern -- Women
5:30 p.m. Eastern -- Men
(I presume that the "Watch Live" links will be active on this NCAA.com site at the appropriate times.)

These are more fun when you know you are in for sure.

On the Men's side, I see 4 or more probably five teams hosting in our region*. Looking at last week's rankings there's another 6 ranked 17-32, so our area can probably support 5 brackets.
I can see us as a 2-seed traveling to Texas Tech, OU, or TCU.
I also see dangerous 3-seeds in our region could be LSU & Baylor and Lamar as a 4 seed would also be a tough draw (but I'd take them in our group with a good chance to knock off a host in the first round for us)

For the women, we'll be a 3 seed and might have to travel further since there's fewer top 16 teams in our area right now.
Playing at Texas A&M, OSU, and (again) Texas Tech would be our best chances to play in state or relatively nearby.

Will the Rice-Clemson match be held at Vanderbilt? (It was not stated directly in the very-sparingly-worded broadcast, although the announcer did say that said that Vandy would be hosting its match with SIUE.)

We were pretty even with LSU at home. Should be a good match. TCU smoked us on their court at the beginning of April so that's a tough draw.

Awesome! And correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems like our biggest singles/doubles delegation at the NCAA tournament in quite a while.
In any case, congrats and GO OWLS!

Checking the men's & women's online history docs, I see that we've last had three NCAA tennis qualifiers in 2008 (Christoph Müller and Bruno Rosa in men's singles, and Ralph Knupfer & Christoph Müller in men's doubles).
In 2003, we had four NCAA qualifiers: Richard Barker, William Barker and Robert Searle in men's singles, and Richard & William Barker in men's doubles (#1 seed ).
We've also had three NCAA qualifiers in:
2004: Richard Barker and Robert Searle in men's singles, and Richard & William Barker in men's doubles (#1 seed ).
1986: Scott Melville in men's singles, Wendy Wood in women's singles, and Lori Cronk & Wendy Wood in women's doubles.
1985: Scott Melville in men's singles, Scott Melville & Andrew Taylor in men's doubles, and Wendy Wood in women's singles.
Of course, the current NCAA tournament structure is different from Rice's glory days of the 1930s -- NCAA singles champions in 1935 (Wilber Hess) and 1938 & 1939 (Frank Guernsey) -- and 1964-71, when the Owls has 13 All-Americans: Jim Parker-1964; John Pickens-1965/66; Mike Hamilton-1967; Butch Seewagen-1967/68; Mike Estep-1969/70/71; Zan Guerry-1969/70/71 and Harold Solomon-1971.
