Why rely on the NCAA? Your only setting yourself up for disappointment, right? My "go to" source for live updates of matches I cannot watch are the Twitter feeds of the schools involved. You get updates every few minutes, results, and the good ones even post some highlights. Not perfect, not point for point, but it's a good solution if you haven't tried it. Agreed. This shouldn't be the case, but most programs do a pretty good job of posting consistent live match updates. Sadly, I would disagree that most teams have done this well. Certainly not consistently. UCLA posted a few this morning. We will see if others follow suit for Nationals. I would hope they would... |

Interested to see what happens. Weather doesn’t look great today for the rest of the day There are 13 more matches they're trying to get in before the 11am nationally televised championship match on Sunday (and I'm SURE they desperately want that match to start on time). If there is even a 90-minute window that they think it'll rain but with no lightning, I have to imagine they're going to try to play. Couldn't they have started yesterday and have some wiggle room? Just in case... |

So 1 hour 40 minute delay if you’re thinking of when your favorite teams will be playing. Sounds though that they might have quick turnarounds between duals to squeeze in as many matches as possible. |

Sunset is at 7:31 CT today. But cloudy and rainy all day long. With teams already scheduled to play two matches tomorrow, the NCAA will have some interesting decisions to make if they can't get all 7 remaining matches in.

Teams get 10 minutes to warm up. And I thought from the start scheduling a match every hour seems pretty unreasonable. UCLA clinched the sweep in a little under 50 minutes. And that will almost certainly be the biggest blowout of the day. |

Down here with LMU and I think it’s 50/50 at best that we get our match in today. |

Hard to see what's happening on court 1, there is so much water on the lens.
ETA: Better now. Had been really obscured.

These serves are dropping like crazy from all the wind/rain. Seems like a serving battle going on now.

Gotta focus on one match at a time, right? From a coach’s perspective? If they win, have another match in 3 hours, and have done zero prep for that opponent, they’ll be way behind. |
