For the fourth straight year, Mississippi State’s men’s tennis team is staying home and hosting a regional in the NCAA tennis tournament.
On Monday, the Bulldogs tuned into the tournament’s selection show and cheered when they were given the No. 5 seed in the playoffs and the opportunity to host first and second round matches in the Starkville Regional at A.J. Pitts Tennis Centre.
The postseason tennis action for MSU begins at 1 p.m. Friday with the Bulldogs taking on fourth-seeded Tennessee Tech. No. 2-seeded Wisconsin will take on No. 3 seed Samford at 10 a.m. to get the party started. The winners on Friday will battle each other beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday to advance to the Sweet 16.
The tournament berth marks the 15th consecutive postseason appearance for Mississippi State, the SEC tournament runner up, and its 34th overall. The Bulldogs have advanced to the Sweet 16 in each of the last three seasons.
