The unofficial online home for fans of the Western Michigan University Broncos. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

Won the MAC Tournament championship (14th in team history) to go with their regular season title (27th in team history)

Any day that WMU is associated with winning a championship is a Good Day to be a BRONCO!

Coach Morin is the best. Congrats to the team and coach! He's made Bronco tennis the team to beat every year in the league.

Just like the hockey team, time to WIN an NCAA match.

Broncos play at UM in the opening round.

Tennis will beat hockey, football, and basketball on winning a national championship.

Hockey is much more likely than tennis to win one. Tennis has an uphill battle to win any NCAAT match.

In hockey, if you're good enough to make the tournament the games are all fairly evenly matched. This year's tennis team already played UM this year and lost decisively. Last year's team, after going 22-1 in the regular season, drew Notre Dame and lost, wasn't particularly close. I'm not trying to minimize their accomplishments (it's extremely impressive) but they are still a long ways off from being among the top teams in the country. Hockey was in the final 8 just this year.

Appreciate your optimism Nacho! Love WMU Men’s and Women’s
Tennis too! However, realistically, an NCAA National Championship is about as far away for tennis as it is for football or basketball. Warm weather schools dominate the sport.

I don't follow tennis but it looks like they lost to every ranked team this year and had a losing record out of conference. Is WMU just a decent team in a terrible conference?

Yes, kinda like K has been for the last 20-plus years.
