Yeah, have to finish the other matches, have some lunch and do the pairings for the semis. Looks like we'll play around 3:30 central.

Was out at lunch and came back hopeful.
Terrific stuff guys ! Every match play victory is an achievement.
I noticed that the 16 round totals only varied by 10 strokes between #1 and #8 teams.
That is 10 strokes over 16 rounds, well less than 1 stroke per round.
Every match is going to be tough. These guys are all really good.
Well done, Illini.

Reading the notes on here and looking at Charlie's score and just realized that I learned something today.
While Charlie winning 1up usually means that after 18 holes he had a 1 hole advantage.
But today, because the team match was completed, it just means that he was 1 up after "x" holes. Not necessarily 18 holes. I didn't know that until now.

Small with a lineup change, drops Meyer down to #5, where he has to go against the NCAA champ Wise.

The TV guys are saying that Yi (at least, I think I heard that correctly) was running a 102 fever that whole first round and is getting an IV for fluids during the break.

Interesting change. Meyer has the talent to hang with Wise. I expected Coach Small to stay with the seniors at the bookends.
Yep, Ryder Cup style.

I think it's coming down to this pairing. Meyer is due for a good match play performance; however, Wise is on fire.
Go Illini!

I'll say Illinois 3-2 with victories from Detry, Danielson, and Meyer.
Not really how it works. Watch the periscope clip. You have to react to the other team's players. You want to keep your best player in your pocket, otherwise you end up with your best player going against the other teams 4 or 5, which is a waste (though that happened to SC and we still won that point).
Illinois was keeping Danielson in their pocket for the same reason.
Illinois also has the advantage in that Detry is every bit as good as Danielson. Oregon has Wise and not much else.
re:lineups
Also interesting to contrast this with college tennis, where you have to set your lineup 1-6 by best to worst. Not sure which is better, but I'm guessing the better teams win more often in college tennis.

They are starting up again at 5:00. I don't understand it as we would all prefer to watch live action.
Match play is tough for TV to schedule. All of the morning matches were decided fairly quickly. If some of them had been closer, with matches going to extra holes, then the semis might have had to start later. And they don't really care too much about the first 6 or so holes in a match, it doesn't really start to get interesting until the players make the turn.

Even though the Illini have now played this course 6, 7 or 8 times in the past week, Oregon has played it 100's of times, I would guess. That is their advantage and we'll just have to overcome it.
