RAPID REACTION: 2017 NCAA BRACKET

NCAA BRACKET RAPID REACTION ROUNDTABLE Nothing like a little rapid reaction roundtable from the bloggers to continue our NCAA week. If you missed the Live Blog earlier today, you missed something special. While we encourage you to go through the text from what basically turned into a public/slower version of our group chat, we also…

Bracketology #4: The Final Countdown

The final regular-season ball has been struck, the results are in, and the selection committee is doubtlessly hard at work trying to come up with a fair bracket. I’m not sure if this recommendation is coming too late, but I would like to remind coaches to put in bids to host, even if they’re not…

Power Rankings, 5/4

I’ve spent most of my morning listening to the podcast with AVZ and Coach Browning of Emory, which is why these Power Rankings are going out a little bit late. If you would like to listen to the podcast, which you should, feel free to click the link below. Power Rankings aren’t going anywhere. http://www.division3tennis.com/van-zees-vault-podcast-emorys-john-browning/…

Regional Roundup – NEWMAC Preview and Individuals Update

This Saturday will be the semis and finals of the NEWMAC tournament. The NEWMAC has been a conference long dominated by MIT basically as long as some of our writers have been alive. This year, with Babson losing their top 3 guys to graduation, MIT is probably as a big a favorite as they have…

4/27 Power Rankings

Another edition of Power Rankings are here, and this week we FINALLY had some movement in the Top 10! With a ton of upsets (check the ticker bruh!) this past week as well as the UAA Tournament completing, the top 10 got shuffled around a bit. We had a huge upset that we were able…

2017 Bracketology Issue #2

AS: We promised you a Bracketology from the Guru earlier today and we certainly plan on delivering. With the Pool C debate very much up in the air, there are a couple of brackets that we would like to get to and we will get to them in the below bracketology. Most of the NCAA…

NE Weekend Preview: 04/22-04/23

#4 Bowdoin @ #9 Williams, Saturday at 10 a.m. What’s at stake: NESCAC seeding, #1 doubles implications, and another chance for Williams to get on the right side of the Pool-C bubble How Williams pulls the upset: It starts with a doubles lead, then pouncing on where Bowdoin has been weak of late. That is…

Power Rankings, 4/21

I’m a bit upset about getting these out late, not only because I don’t like being late (actually I don’t really care) but the fact that I missed out on 4/20 Power Rankings jokes. We could have given a few teams that 420Boost, but alas, we are at a regular day now, so that means…

NE Tuesday Recap

#29 (ITA-34) Brandeis def. #17 (ITA-22) MIT 7-2 http://www.brandeisjudges.com/sports/mten/2016-17/releases/20170418wvgm4t How it happened:  Brandeis can sweep MIT and take a couple of random positions but probably not. — d3AtlanticSouth (@d3AtlanticSouth) April 18, 2017 Somehow this was oddly prophetic and bulletin board material at the same time. Good on D3AS for his method, but after a Brandeis…

NE Weekend Preview: 04/14-04/16

A surprisingly light weekend for the heavy hitters of DIII tennis, headlined by two marquee matchups. One of them, Chicago @ Wash U, will be previewed over the weekend as the match isn’t until Sunday. The other, Middlebury @ Bowdoin in a battle for NESCAC (regular-season) dominance, you can find below. However, seeing as this…
