pictured UCLA's Clay Thompson

Always a bit of a lull the week after a major event but never fear there are a few noteworthy matches taking place this week. Below is what is in store through Sunday and this weekend we've got some heavyweights battling in LA in the Pac 12/SEC Challenge.  Check back with CTO on Twitter and Facebook for updates throughout the weekend.  

Wednesday:
#12 Pepperdine at #24 Tulsa - 6pm cst - both teams are coming off a disappointing weekend. A young Pepperdine team starting 3 newcomers at 4-6 was beaten by Cal while Tulsa lost to both Northwestern and Virginia Tech.  Final Score - Pepperdine 4-3

Friday
#6 Tennessee at #51 Oklahoma State - 3:30pm cst. - Live Scoring - Okie St is an up and coming team that has already defeated Minnesota, East Tennessee St, and Dartmouth so this could be much closer than the rankings would indicate.

#13 Mississippi State at #53 Texas Tech - 2pm cst. - Live Scoring - Red Raiders took 3 sets off UCLA on Sunday with a roster made up of 5 newcomers. Miss St's roster also includes 5 newcomers with 3 of those starting. 

#18 South Carolina at # Georgia Tech - 5pm est. - Live Scoring - Gamecocks came up short against Memphis on Saturday but will look to rebound against a young Georgia Tech squad.

#22 Illinois at #17 Duke - 6pm est. - Live Scoring - Very intriguing match between these 2 highlighted by a showdown at #1 singles between Jared Hiltzik and Michael Redlicki.
