Little AC’s team finished 3rd.

Lost to Virginia 5-4
Beat Illinois 6-2

The 36ers didn’t sack Cal, they sacked his son.

And he’s been replaced by Scott Ninnis, who coached the 36ers to their first wooden spoon last time he was in charge.

This is going to get worse

The jersey numbers are the 2001-02 design.

The 98/99 had a different font, as it shown in these pics.

The heritage jersey look pretty much identical to the ones worn in 2022 to celebrate the 2001/02 championship side.

De Minaur fighting hard

This Rublev guy looks pretty solid though

Edit - haha Rublev double faulted the second I posted that

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Good when the underdog(bull) goes on the offense.

That was an amazing comeback by Medvedev last night. I thought it was over in the 3rd set tie break and watched something else.
That Zverev has had a great tournament.
