MIT Invitational Recap

Lost in the past weekend of #Surprise(s) and Small College Nationals was the MIT Invitational. While this is not a new tournament, it might as well have been this fall.

ITA Oracle Cup (Small College Nationals) Picks!

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.

ASouth ITA Mashup – Emory Dominates, Stories from UMW

So, I know I missed the Emory ITA preview.  First off, I know I keep calling it the Emory ITA preview even though it’s actually held at Sewanee, so shoutout to Sewanee for hosting this thing every year.  Y’all have some nice outside courts.  On a positive note, I didn’t miss the UMW ITA Preview…

The ASouth (Mary Wash) ITA Preview
