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…
West region DIII men’s tennis fans, we’ve had ourselves a week. UT-Tyler went 6-0 in doubles over the weekend, scored the mini-upset over Whitman, and nearly made DIII tennis history by being the lowest ranked team ever to make it to the Elite Eight. CMS proved their mettle. Trinity wasn’t able to take advantage of…
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…
As I mentioned in the POTW article, we played witness to a truly great match on Sunday that showed both CMS’ greatness and vulnerability. In the last month and a half, the Stags have gone down in doubles to P-P (twice), Redlands, Middlebury, and Williams. They may have won all of those matches, but they’re…
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…

REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: May 2nd-May 8th With all the NCAA hullaballoo yesterday, we decided to postpone POTW for a few hours. Some of the answers will seem a little out of date, but it’s fun to see what we said before the release of the bracket. For future reference, you can now find the…
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.
