Tuan Tran and his 4.0 Mob Squad are out in Tuscon for 4.0 Nationals, which begins on Friday. Hopefully they've had a chance to get acclimated to the thin air, as the ball does tend to fly a bit out in Tuscon.
The Mob appears to have a favorable flight, starting out with historically weak Intermountain at 7:30 on Friday. They also play Northern on Friday afternoon. Saturday's slate appears to be tougher, with Missouri Valley and Caribbean the opponents.
There's no way to truly tell which sections will be weak or strong, so you have to start out with your A lineup. I'm sure Tuan will be scouting the Northern section since Texas got stuck in the only five team flight and it would be nice to find a match to rest the top singles guys.
Good luck to the Mob Squad.

Then there's Juan Lopez' Senior NOHO team which is competing in Nationals this weekend at Indian Wells. Don't forget about the old guys!
ReplyDeleteThe 4.0 men's team squeaked out a 3-2 win in their morning match against Utah. I didn't ask for further details. I'm sure the score will be posted soon.
ReplyDeleteTuan posted on his FB that they won 3-2 in their afternoon match. Thomas Hoang came from match point down to win. Ricky Nguyen and Bao also won in a 3rd set tiebreaker and Alastair Le won the deciding match in a 3rd set breaker as well. Good Luck TEXAS!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking good so far, but let's see how they do after pool play. They're squeeking by in a weak flight.
ReplyDeleteWow. Mob Squad lost out on advancing to semis by one set. Helluva showing.
ReplyDeleteWorst of it is in their loss vs Caribbean, Cuong Truong, lost 3-1 to a 3.5 rate. Would have made a difference and now Intermountain (whom Houston beat) is onto the Finals.
ReplyDeleteOnly the dudes 2nd singles match all year!
ReplyDeleteIntermountain took 2nd place... after Mob Squad beat them!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to the 4.5 Men and Women heading out to Tucson this weekend. Both teams are very good and should do well.
ReplyDeleteI am not a sport man but I heard that it is quite hard to climate to way different weather than you are used to it.
