Here is the Sooner staff writers article about the BIG win for the Sooner Men.

https://soonersports.com/news/2024/3/28 ... home-crowd

The Sooners (#22 Ranked) obviously played very well against TCU (#3 Ranked) as they won 2 singles matches in 2 straight sets and the other 2 in 3 sets as the match wound down. The Sooners won 2 of the last 3 matches which were the last three matches to finish. Martinez (#20) won the final match in a upset win Pennington (#8) in a third set tie-breaker. I would bet that Headington Fmily Tennis Center was very loud as that tie-breaker ended. Huge time Congratulations to the Sooner Men. The win pushes the Sooners to 3-0 in the Big 12 and in a tie with Texas at 3-0. OSU lost on Thursday to UCF to 3-4 to drop out of the 1st Place tie with OU and Texas.
