So the background on this story is Arkansas women's tennis finished 11th in the SEC this season and looked like it was headed nowhere... Then the Lady Hogs went on a crazy run all the way to the semifinals of the SECT... And with the SEC being so deep in every sport, including women's tennis, a run like that would easily earn a team like that a berth in the NCAAT... Except for one thing, u can't have an overall losing record and still make the tournament and Arkansas was 10-16 following the SECT loss.
So this is what those fu ckers did... With no more matches left on their schedule and still some time to go before the NCAAT selection show, Arkansas scrambled to find an opponent and then played six matches, not six individual matches, but six team matches, like six team event meets, all on the same day against the same opponent, Tennessee State, which had no shot of winning even one of those matches.
The way these meets work is they schedule 7 matches and the 1st team to win 4 matches wins the meet... Arkansas won the meets that day 4-3, 4-0, 4-0, 4-0, 4-0, 4-0... It was so bad that one girl on the Tenn St. team played in every match, singles & doubles, and by the time she got to her last match, she was so tired and sore that she had to retire after the 1st point... And that basically tells u this poor girl was so tired that she couldn't even play that match, but Arkansas needed her to go out there and take the loss officially, so it would make their win official, and Tenn St. needed her to go out there so the match would be official so it could collect its check from Arkansas for agreeing to do this.
Only thing I follow about women's tennis is Serena and the one girl with the gigantic boobs who had to have them reduced to keep from injuring her back, but I really hope the NCAA does the right thing and keeps Arky out of the tournament.
