After the dust settled over the weekend, chalk prevailed in the NCAA Division I Championships. All the top seeds advanced to the quarterfinals in the men’s and women’s brackets.

The teams will shift from their home courts to the Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex on the campus of the University of Illinois in Champaign, Ill., to play for the national title.

The Division I men’s quarterfinal matches will be played Thursday, the semifinals on Saturday and the championship match on Sunday.

The Division I women’s quarterfinal matches will be played Friday, the semifinals on Saturday and the championship match on Sunday.

No Pac-12 teams remain in either the men’s or women’s draws, but both defending champions still have a chance to go back-to-back (Florida men, Texas women).

On the men’s side, the SEC has three teams represented, the Big 12 and Big Ten both have two and the ACC has one. The action is highlighted by another rivalry showdown between Ohio State and Michigan. The Wolverines beat the Buckeyes 4-2 in the Big Ten tournament final earlier this month to take a 2-1 lead in the season series.

On the women’s side, the ACC has four teams represented, the Big 12 has two teams and the SEC and West Coast Conference each have one. No. 2 Oklahoma has reached the Elite Eight for the first time in program history. OU’s opponent, Texas A&M, is making its second appearance in program history and first since 2013, when the Aggies reached the NCAA final with current Texas coach Howard Joffe leading the program.

About Diadem

Diadem was founded in 2015 with a single goal in mind - develop the most innovative, high-quality tennis products in the world to help players maximize their performance. We found that the tennis industry had become stagnant, with very few brands that were challenging the status quo. With a team made up of former collegiate and professional players and coaches, Diadem set out to develop new and exciting products that catered to players of all levels looking to elevate their game.

Diadem is committed to supporting the growth of junior tennis in America and across the globe. Our Dynasty Team sponsorship program is unlike any junior tennis sponsorship program in the world. Beyond providing high quality equipment at a great price point for junior players we are continuously innovating to improve our players experience with the sport and to help them accomplish their goals. We give our athletes the "pro player treatment," to equip them with racket setups that are tailored to their game. We leverage our relationship with hundreds of college coaches across the country to help our players take their game to the next level. We're continuously evolving to better support our sponsored players from coast to coast!
