Rice Tennis coming to Tulsa? - owlfan12000 - 05-01-2016 02:48 PM
Can someone tell me what it will take for Rice to make it to the national championships here in Tulsa? What are our chances?

Not great. It's a similar achievement to baseball getting to a Super Regional. Men's tennis is #26 in the country and the women are #41, so they're both outside odds to make the final 16, and I don't think we have anybody who will qualify for the singles or doubles non-team competitions.
E: We'll have to win a regional hosted by somebody else. The men should be a two seed and the women a three seed. Ft Worth (TCU) and College Station are the best odds for the men to visit; the closest place the women could get sent to is Stillwater (shame LSU just missed by finishing 17). Selections are officially announced Tuesday afternoon at 4:00.

Well it won't be the first time I've prayed for a Rice miracle. After all, I was at Rice from 77-81. I think the '77 or '78 football teams still holds some Rice records... things like most yards allowed, most interceptions, etc.
