Lady Vols sweep Murray State in NCAA Tournament first-round

Lady Vols tennis sweeps Murray State in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament.

No. 16 Tennessee defeated Murray State, 4-0, on Saturday at Barksdale Stadium. The contest was part of the NCAA Tournament first-round.

“Definitely a little bit of nerves at the beginning that we saw in doubles,” Tennessee head coach Alison Ojeda said. “Thankfully they played their way through it and as the match carried on, we got better and better. Murray State played well, and we knew that they would. I’m glad that they pushed us on a few courts and glad that we took care of business.”

The Lady Vols advance to the NCAA Tournament second-round on Sunday. Tennessee will play Duke at Barksdale Stadium. First serve is slated for 1 p.m. EDT.

Ball State vs Murray State Game Preview

Why Murray State Will Win

Can the Racers generate any points to go along with the downfield passing game.

Murray State might be 0-2, but it had to deal with Texas Tech and then Jacksonville State – the defensive numbers are a tad skewed the wrong way.

There’s only been one turnover so far, the offense is averaging 20 yards per completion, and now it gets to go against a Ball Stat defense that gave up close to 1,000 yards in the first two games.

This is the game for Murray State to let it rip, but …

– CFN Expert Picks, Week 3

Why Ball State Will Win

It’s having a hard time keeping the chains moving.

Time of possession isn’t a problem, but there aren’t a slew of third down conversions, at the running game isn’t doing enough, and now it gets a Ball State offense that’s been good, but wasn’t able to do enough against Tennessee and was on the wrong side of a shootout against Western Michigan.

As long as QB John Paddock gets time to work, he should be able to spread the ball around and give the Murray State secondary problems.

– Week 3 Schedule, Predictions, Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

It’s not like Murray State is getting a break now going on the road to face Ball State, but this might be its easiest game of the first three. It’ll show with more offensive production, but it won’t be enough.

Ball State will be balanced, it’ll win third downs, and it’ll take control from the start and keep the scoring going throughout.

It won’t get too ugly – Murray State will had its moments – but the Cardinals will be in control.

Texas Tech vs Murray State Game Preview

Why Murray State Will Win

The Racers have enough of a defense and a good enough pass rush to be a wee bit of a test.

The design of the Texas Tech offense – the new version – is to get the ball out of the hands of the quarterback fast enough to neutralize the pass rush.

The secondary was solid allowing 184 yards per game, and enough of the top defensive backs return to be good from the start.

Penalties weren’t a problem last year, controlling the clock isn’t going to be too much of an issue, and …

– Week 1 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Texas Tech Will Win

Here comes the Texas Tech offense.

Yeah, the Murray State secondary is good, but it’s about to get hit very, very hard by the new Red Raider coaching staff that includes WKU offensive coordinator Zach Kittley.

Here comes QB Tyler Shough, here comes the young but talented receiving corps, and here comes a whole lot of playmakers finding room in space with places to run free.

Murray State might play a little defense, but the offense doesn’t have the pop to keep up.

– Week 1 Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews, Saturday

What’s Going To Happen

It’s not going to blow up right away.

Texas Tech will need a few drives to get warmed up, and then the avalanche will come in the second quarter as Shough gets settled in.

The Red Raider defense that needs some work will look great, there will be enough of a running game to matter, and the first game of the Joey McGuire era will be a big success.

Five things to know about new LSU basketball coach Matt McMahon

Here are five things to know about LSU’s newest head coach

It was reported on Monday that LSU would be hiring Murray State’s Matt McMahon to fill the basketball opening.

McMahon was thought to be a strong candidate since the job came open after a seven-year run at Murray State, where he won multiple NCAA Tournament games in his tenure and won 25 games on three separate occasions.

McMahon is just 43 years old, when he first took the job at Murray State, he was one of the youngest head coaches in the country.

Murray State is coming off a year where the Racers went 31-3, which included an 18-0 conference record. The point is, he’s won a lot of basketball games.

It’s hard to imagine any LSU fans being upset with this hire in normal times, much less with the state the program is currently in.

McMahon didn’t build Murray State from scratch, it could be said he didn’t build it at all. Murray State had success before McMahon took over the program, but McMahon sustained it over a long period, which is not easy to do at a school of that stature.

LSU’s future remains murky but with McMahon in town, LSU seems to be in some competent hands it handles all the uncertainty headed its way.

Here are five things to know about Matt McMahon.
