Looking like a possible match-up with Alabama in the quarterfinals tomorrow, but we look solidly locked into match play with Trace Crowe still having a long shot at winning individual title, which I'm assuming is over after today.  Based on the asterisk thing on the site for players playing only individually, that might extend the individual championship into the weekend....I'm sure golf will clarify that.

Also for golf, how do they do tie-breakers for the match-play seedings?  I'd really rather not play Florida tomorrow morning.
