The time has finally come for CMS and PP to renew their cross-campus rivalry, and I could not be more excited. After suffering direct losses to Williams, CMU, Midd, Emory, and Amherst (coupled with Bowdoin’s win over CMS), Pomona-Pitzer likely does not have a way into the NCAA tournament through Pool C (which is an…
And we’re back. Last time, I didn’t get these Power Rankings in at the appropriate time and people were all like “wtf, didn’t (insert team) beat (insert team) yesterday?” Only thing I have to say to that is, you try having a job and a blog to run. As I am sure you are all…
East Meets West: Tuesday, March 29 and Wednesday, March 30 Happy Monday, boys and girls, and welcome to Part I of this week’s collaboration effort between D3West and yours truly. As we move towards April, my NE teams will head back to the frozen tundra they call home, and D3West and I will be relegated…
NCAA MEN’S REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: 3/21-3/27 What a great weekend. NCAA tourney, Batman vs Superman, Sonny Dearth and CNU over Hopkins. What a whirlwind. In honor of that extraordinarily mediocre movie, we’re going back to a theme that sits near and dear to my heart, superheroes! The Players of the Week are kind…
Happy Friday, boys and girls, and I hope it’s a particularly good Friday. CMS just clinched early over Chicago, and PP overcame yet another doubles deficit to take down Stevens, so we can now turn our heads to Saturday’s slate of matches. Although the ASouth has a couple intriguing matches tomorrow such as CNU at…
Another day in the books, ladies and gentlemen. What a great day at the office. If you haven’t heard, there was an incredible match today between Williams and Pomona Pitzer that had massive implications for who is going to make the tournament later on this year. If you weren’t following, Williams took the 5-4 win…
NCAA MEN’S REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: 3/14-3/20 A fantastic week of tennis, starting with Wesleyan taking down Trinity Texas and ending with CMS beating Amherst but getting beaten badly by Bowdoin. A week that showed, perhaps more than anything else, the parity among the many teams who believe 2016 might be the year. As March…
Since three of my more prominent West region teams just completed their spring breaks, I feel like this is an opportune time to hand out some report cards. Cruz is in the midst of their spring break, and the California teams all seem like they’re on a perpetual spring break (tennis-wise), so I’ll give them…
With the ITA Rankings coming out today, we decided to hold Power Rankings until after, so we could compare what we really thought about those ITA Rankings. Kidding, I just didn’t get around to this yesterday when I was making my NCAA Bracket (Go Kansas!) and decided to wait until now to post, as I…
#14 Whitman vs #7 Bowdoin: The Forgotten Children Happy Tuesday evening, boys and girls. Tonight, D3West and I have gotten together to throw a quick one match preview at you fine folks. We’re both a little tired of the match-by-match previews, which we know we’ll be doing more of soon, so we decided to do…
