Big 8 tennis matches start today
By Lyle Niedens
Kansan sportswriter
Although the Kansas men's tennis team begins its Big Eight Conference season today at Oklahoma State, Coach Scott Perelman already is looking toward both the Big Eight tournament, which will take place April 24-26 in Kansas City, Mo., and a possible NCAA tournament berth.
"With the team format, the most important thing is how your team performs in the Big Eight tournament. That's what is going to determine your destiny," Perelman said.
The winner of the conference post-season tournament, not the regular season champion, is considered for an NCAA berth. Perelman said teams fought for tournament seedings during regular-season play.
But that does not diminish the importance of the regular season. Because Kansas State does not have a men's team, the winner of the regular season title receives a bye in the first round of the conference tournament and has to win only two matches to win
"We could go 6-0 and lose in the semifinals of the tournament, and it could be devastating for us."

the tournament title.
but a No. 1 seed wouldn't necessarily mean a trip to the NCAA tournament, Perelman said.
"We could go 6-0, win the conference and lose in the semifinals of the tournament and it could be devastating for us," he said. "We could go 3-3, win the tournament and go to the NCAAs and
think we've been very successful."
Perelman said that both today's match and tomorrow's match at Oklahoma are important for setting a tone and leaving an impression for the conference tournament, especially since the matches are against two teams that Perelman considers to be the conference front-runners.
Both the Cowboys, who are the defending conference champions and who year, and the Conference tournament last year, and the Sooners defeated Kansas 5-4 in Lawrence last April. Oklahoma also has two of the top 100 singles players in the nation. They are seniors Michael Tremblay, who is ranked No. 75, and Michael Martinez, who is ranked No. 96.
However, Kansas, at No. 21, is the only conference team ranked in the Volvo Top 25.
Senior Paul Garvin said that last year's tough losses did not mean much this weekend.
"Different years, different teams," Garvin said. "We're in control of our own destiny now."
