    Men host AU today, women there tomorrow

    After a dismal start for both teams it's a chance to start fresh. Men really need to win at home vs a beatable opponent. Losing today would be a VERY bad sign.
    Women facing a very good AU team, need to see who is available for the women before judging that match

    UF takes a close doubles point...crucial
    Mid 1st sets, UF up a break in 2, AU up a break in 2, 2 on serve

    First sets wrapping up
    Jin getting destroyed on 1, 1-6
    Ganesan edges out a win 6-4
    Johnson plays well 6-2
    Jefferson serving for the set at 5-4
    Nirundorn 6-2
    Edengren bageled 0-6, but up 2-1 in second.....h's been my biggest letdown so far, expected him to be a very solid #4 type player, and he is struggling to even play 6

    edit Jefferson closes out his first set, UF takes 4 first sets. Looking solid

    If Ganeson holds his 5-3 lead in the 2nd set at #2 singles, the match is over.

    Nirundorn first to finish with another 6-2 set...nice outing
    Jefferson next with an easy 6-1 set....UF up 3-0
    Edengren had a nice second set lead but has blown it and about to lose
    Johnson blows a lead and his second set 4-6
    Jin has played well in his second, blew a couple of games but leads 5-3
    Ganesan up 5-3 and close to sealing it up

    Ladies with a much tougher task on deck

    Auburn takes doubles point pretty easily....just been awful in doubles so far

    Still no Lopez or Emily in singles, hopefully competitive today

    Gailis wins her match
    Oliveras falls apart and lives hers....that hurts
    Dudeney, Spee, Daubernova in tight 3rd sets
    Turned into a really good match....pleasant surprise

    Dudeney wins but Spee and Daubernova both lose 5-7 in the third...tough loss

    Need Lopez and better doubles to beat quality teams

    Men are facing Bama today at home.....Bama is decent but very beatable. They lost to So Car on Saturday

    Match moved indoors due to rain. No video, no live stats, and incredibly incompetent twitter feed.
    Have figured out uf lost the doubles point as usual. Top 3 singles underway, top 2 courts on serve and Janmagnus down 0-3.
    Pretty poor start

    Jonmagnus comes back to win his match on 3
    Jin loses a close on 6-7 5-7, blew leads in both sets
    Ganesan match all over the place....he won the first, lost a lead and the second set, trailed 0-3 in the 3rd but apparently has won 5 straight (assuming the feed is correct lol). Pretty much have to have his point, can't expect to win all 3 lower courts

    Ganesan holds on 6-4 to even the match 2-2
    Jefferson on 4, Nirundorn on 5, Edengren was slated for 6 but apparently benched for freshman Villard. need 2 of 3

    Jefferson takes his first set 6-4

    Nirundorn down 2-5....he's a little maddening, slow starter and streaky. He is a battler, so you never know...but in his 3rd year had hoped he might have stepped up a little more. But his size and physical limitations are a factor

    Nirundorn battles but loses first 4-6

    Villard with nice 6-1 set. Uf freshmen have struggled to finish matches, looks like we will need one today
