ROSEMONT, Ill. — Three Big Ten schools — sixth-ranked Ohio State, No. 16 UCLA and No. 28 USC — have reached the Super Regionals (Third Round) of the NCAA Men's Tennis Championship.

Ohio State (28-3), which defeated Buffalo and Auburn at home this past weekend, will host No. 12 Mississippi State on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET. On Friday, USC (16-10) travels cross town to meet UCLA (18-8) at 4 p.m. ET. The Trojans upset seventh-ranked San Diego on Sunday and the Bruins knocked off 11th-ranked California on Saturday to setup a rivalry rematch on the biggest of stages.

The winners of third round matches will travel to Waco, Texas next week for the NCAA Quarterfinals.

Eight Big Ten teams participated in the opening weekend of NCAA play, which included first and second round action. The Big Ten came away with seven wins, including first round wins by UCLA (over UC Santa Barbara), USC (against Arizona State), and Michigan State (versus North Alabama).
