I think they rotate so like one coach says one player then the other coach responds with their player for matchup then that coach starts with a player and other coach responds. So the better seeded team gets to choose 3 matchups the worse 2, I believe.
Robert has pairings out. Lamprecht isn’t playing phew.
Starting at noon tomorrow on Golf Channel.

Vanderbilt finished sixteen strokes ahead of 9th place, and sixteen strokes behind the Illini. This is probably the most impressive performance in Coach Small's time at Illinois, and that's saying a lot. A "down year" where we were ranked 15th to close the season and didn't win the B10 championship, but we came out strong on the big stages. Depth was a concern, but not anymore. Fantastic job all around!
Match play is always flukey, but given how well the team has managed this course it's hard to count them out. Let's do this!

We walked/chatted 5 or 6 holes with Max’s mom and she was … a nervous mom.
Match play round 1 (quarterfinals) starts at 6:50am Pacific (8:50am Central)
When Golf Channel starts coverage at noon Central, the Illini should be on, what, the 13th hole or so?

has to be one of the most impressive streaks of golf in Illini history. Dominant at regionals and now the stroke play of Nationals. Yes, it is not trophies, but this time of form is a massive showing of what this program is about and can do. Lets not lose sight of the fact this was a team that had its share of questions to answer over the season and to come here and do this is freaking unreal. Lead the field in birdies, led the field by a good bit on par 5 scoring. That ain't scrappy play, that is we are the big dogs and you all gotta hang with us play. Everybody played well and the team bodied these 4 days.
Match play is different all together. It is a mental game, I love it. Anybody at this point can beat anybody but Georgia tech is about as favorable as a matchup you could ask for at this point.

I'm not usually big on the blue clothing but that script works everywhere.

And everyone is now on the course for the Illini-GT matchup.
Tyler 2 up already through 4. Birdied 3/4
After dropping the first hole, Goecke had beaten Forrester on three straight holes to go up two.
Max is down one and all others tied. Still very early.

#2 causing problems for both teams. Some bogeys hitting the scorecard.
Illinois has been the best team by far this tournament on par 5s although we do have 3 bogies on 2 and then what do you know 2 of the hole losses come on hole 2. Although it looks to be playing tough today I bet it’s the hard pin location day.
They’ve got the script Illinois on the team’s golf bags and it looks great.
Illinois has kinda struggled on 5 so far compared to other teams as goecke takes a hole loss with a bogey there. It’s been their worst hole compared to the field. Strange because on a lot of the other par 4s Illinois has been better on that the rest of the field has struggled on. Also Tyler’s match has yet to have a halved hole after 5 holes.

Scores are moving around very fast this morning. Down in a match, then 2 Holes later up. The drama of match play is showing
And just as I say this Jackson birdies 5 to take a 2 hole lead. Max birdies 4 to take a lead too. All 3 Illini players so far have birdied 4 and won the hole.
WHOA!
Tai and Voois on 3. Tai has a four-footer for par and Voois is 15 feet out for par. Voois nailed his and Tai misses. Illini up 4-1-0 now. A huge mistake by Tai.
