Thank you. During the baseball game last night they had some college baseball expert and he stated that Stanford is expected to make the CWS. I think we'll be luck to make it out of a regional, are those points factored in your prediction?

Yep, right now I have Stanford making it to the CWS and winning 1 game, finishing tied 5th. I have Texas as a 2 seed in a regional, and scoring 50 pts after losing in the regional final.

Womens golf with a decent start today. They are tied for 13th, 4 shots behind 8th place which is the cut off for match play round. Stanford is tied for 7th currently.

Men's Tennis with a dominant 4-0 win in Tennis. They only dropped 1 set as a team. They play #5 Virginia in the semis tomorrow. TCU or Ohio State will await in the finals as expected.

The bad news first, Texas men's tennis dropped the semifinal 4-1 against Virginia and it wasn't particularly close. This shaves 17 points off of my predicted score for Texas and the lead over Stanford is now just 6 points. It's gonna be a tight finish. 

The good news, Texas women's golf had a fantastic day going 12 under for the round. This is the best round in Texas NCAA championship history, 5th best round in Texas history in any tournament, and the 2nd best round at an NCAA championship by any team. Only downside is Stanford went -15 (2nd overall) and two other teams also went -12. Either way, Texas jumps all the way up to #4, they are 17 strokes clear of the top 15 cut off required to play round 4 and they are 6th strokes clear of the top 8 cut off to make the match play round. Making the match play round would mean Texas matches my current prediction for their score.

Both Texas and TCU lost in the tennis semi's.

Glad to see the women's golf team playing well!

Women's golf tied for the 3rd best score on the day and moved up into tied for 2nd overall after round 3. Only the top 15 teams play tomorrow and after that round the top 8 move to match play. Texas is 12 strokes ahead of the teams currently in 9th place. Being in the top 8 would match my predicted score for them, anything further is gravy. Stanford is in 1st, if they do anything other than win it all they will lose points off the prediction. Texas A&M is currently in 8th, let's hope they make it through and we can send them home in match play.

Golf hits the links this afternoon, start times 1:50-2:30 CT. We will start to have an idea of how much wiggle room they have as most teams will likely be shooting over par throughout the round. You can watch on golf channel between 4-8 pm.

Top 8 teams move onto to match play.

[BWilk55]

Texas women shoot the best round of the day to take solo 2nd place and advance to match play. They match up against Texas A&M in the first round for what would be our 3rd time to end aggies postseason this year. 

For director's cup purposes the team has secured 73 points which was predicted based on rankings. Anymore points at this point are bonus.

Watching the golf now finaly found it. A$M vs Wake Forrest guess that is bad news. USC vs Tree huggers. That is a first merooting for USC.

Yep, Texas lost to A&M today. Doesn't help but also doesn't hurt the directors cup score prediction. 

USC very close to beating Stanford which would shave 17 points off their predicted score. That would be a huge development in favor of Texas.

Stanford does indeed fall to USC in the semifinals. Those 17 points are huge and give Texas a little bit of breathing room.

Not a great result for rowing as they drop to 4th and Stanford jumps up to 1st. Both teams will lose some points in Men's Golf though I think the results will hurt Texas more than Stanford depending on how today goes. 

If Texas has the track results we expect they would still have a chance but it would require Stanford to get knocked out of baseball much earlier than predicted.
