The two matches between the No. 4 and No. 5 seeds are going on now, but I’m going to post with the results of the first six matches and add those singles results in a couple of hours. Only one of the six completed matches went the distance, with No. 2 seed Oklahoma beating No. 7 seed Texas 4-3, with the match decided at line 6, with the score 6-4 in the third.

The quarterfinals are set for noon and 3:30 p.m. Central time Saturday. Cracked Racquets will have coverage via two separate feeds, one for each location, at their YouTube Channel.
