Hey nyline, I think the match is on BTN on tv. You are right. (Turns head, shouts at Slacker Staff). By the way, I want to make clear that Ethan Kasales is not Slacker Staff -- he is the antithesis of Slacker Staff, and we are all very fortunate that he spends the time he does getting interviews, writing up the matches, and keeping his eye on awards and developments. Much appreciated!

Much appreciated! For sure. I'm grateful for all work that Ethan puts in with the articles and interviews. Thanks Ethan!

Should be a good match. Illinois went 5 against Wisconsin last Friday tho they lost the 5th set 15-4. Illinois seems to be getting better as the season goes on. I'm also impressed by how well Wisconsin is playing this year. Now you can see why RR picked them to win the B1G this year.
