Prediction time, boys and girls. Everybody’s favorite chance to point at us and laugh after our picks go horribly awry. You can see that there’s a pretty even split towards the top of the singles picks, with 4 of the 8 contestants/teams being picked to win by different writers in both the singles and the…

NE ITA RECAP

Another New England ITA, another showcase of the best depth the country has to offer.

New England ITA Preview

The Bowdoin Journey

Four years ago, a tradition was born when the Williams Ephs won the National Championship in dramatic fashion over the CMS Stags.  It was one of my favorite NCAA Tournaments as there was definitely a ton of drama and a very exciting final.  I remember it because it was also my first NCAA Tournament as…
