We’re a day late on this, mostly because my colleagues have working behind the scenes to get some Elite 8 Previews for you all and I have been working at a Regional Recap (that sounds weird) for all of those small teams out there. Additionally, we’ve been trying to come together for our annual “Superlatives…
It’s Elite 8 week here at the blog, and that means more articles from us! Each writer will be bringing you in-depth previews of the specific matches, but today, I wanted to once again channel my inner-underdog self. We have four great matches on 5/23, and for each match, I will take a look at…
The 2016 Quarterfinals–A brief history by the numbers “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” -D3TennisGuy (RIP). Today I thought we could continue our NCAA coverage with a look at each of the Elite 8’s past five years, and what (if anything) we can learn from the past. Turns out, not…
ASouth: I’m going to write this introduction for the Guru because I simply excel at introductions and conclusions. The rest of the stuff, I’m not so good at, which is a good thing because I’m not writing this article by myself. We’ve decided to come together for a Weekend Recap Roundtable, mostly focused on the…
POTW: NCAA REGIONAL EDITION Another excellent weekend of tennis is in the books, and the majority of brackets are close to busted. That was the most exciting Regionals weekend in a while, and we’re bringing you the best of the best from the weekend! The Guru will be publishing a round-table piece later today, where…
Happy NCAA Tournament, boys and girls. The big dance kicked off with a very tight 5-2 win from Goucher over Yeshiva, knocking about 3/4 of the brackets (mine included) from the ranks of perfection. I’ve decided to forget about that stupid bracket challenge, by simply turning my attention to a different part of the bracket. Tonight…
Time for some postseason Power Rankings! Despite not a ton of matches happening in the past week but a LOT of hype from NCAAs, Power Rankings will always be posted on Wednesdays. Anyways, there’s also something else that is very exciting going on for the blog and that would be NCAA BRACKET CHALLENGE. If you…

RAPID FIRE ROUND TABLE: Bracket Reaction 1) What is your initial reaction to the bracket in 5 words or fewer? D3AS: No real complaints here. D3Central: UAA > NESCAC. D3NE: Good job with Pool-C. D3West: Trinity. 🙁 D3Regional: Every region looks relatively even. Guru: Emory is going to win 2) Which region excites you the…
NESCAC FINALS Happy Mother’s Day, girls and boys, and I hope you enjoyed that Wesleyan/Middlebury match as much as I did. I know the final score ended up 5-2, but the level of play was very high. I’m not going to get too sentimental about Wesleyan or Amherst here (all in good time), but I…
