The men’s tennis team split a pair of matches over the weekend. The Frogs fell 4-1 to No. 14 Mississippi State on the road Saturday but bounced back the next day, beating No. 49 Alabama 4-3 Sunday. Freshman Facundo Lugones was TCU’s only winner Friday night, sweeping MSU’s Zach White 7-6, 6-4. Due to bad weather, the match had to be stopped after singles action and moved 80 miles down the road to Tuscaloosa, Ala., home of the Crimson Tide. Nick Chappell, J.T. Sundling, Daniel Sanchez and Lugones all notched victories for TCU in its win over Alabama on Sunday, which improved the Frogs to 2-3 on the season. TCU will be back in action Saturday when it hosts Texas Tech. First serve is scheduled for 1 p.m.
