INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- For the 12th consecutive year and 17th overall, the 30th-ranked TCU men's tennis team (11-11) will compete in the NCAA Men's Tennis Championships beginning on Saturday, May 11, where they will face No. 31 LSU (10-13) in the first round on the campus of Texas A&M at the Texas A&M Tennis Center. The 16th-ranked Aggies (20-6), who received the 16th seed in the championships, will play SWAC Champion Southern University (15-12) in the first round. The winners from each match will then face off in the second round on May 12. The final four rounds of the team championships as well as the singles and doubles championships will also be hosted by Texas A&M on May 18-27. No Horned Frogs were selected for the singles or doubles championships.
The Horned Frogs' match with the LSU Tigers will mark the fourth time the two schools have met in the NCAA Championships.
