The higher profile one is in Indian Wells where 3 of the top 4 teams in the country will be in action at the BNP Paribas Collegiate Challenge. Play starts on Friday and finishes on Sunday.
Current ITA Rankings of Participants: #1 Oklahoma, #3 Baylor, #4 USC, #20 Tulsa, #28 California, #29 Columbia, and both BYU and Purdue are unranked.
The University of San Diego and San Diego State host the annual Hilton San Diego Mission Valley Spring Classic which has a pretty even field with many of the teams ranked within just a few spots of each other. There are a lot of potential 4-3 matches in the draw.
Current ITA Rankings of Participants: #22 Harvard, #30 San Diego, #32 Princeton, #33 Drake, #38 San Diego State, #39 Indiana, #43 Denver, and unranked but rising Middle Tennessee State.
These are the matches this weekend that I intend to do a preview on (making some assumptions on a few of the matches at Indian Wells):
Friday:
#16 Virginia Tech at #12 Wake Forest - 4pm est
#4 USC vs. #20 Tulsa - 4:30pm est
Saturday:
#4 USC/#20 Tulsa winner vs. #3 Baylor - 5pm est
Sunday:
#3 Baylor or #4 USC vs. #1 Oklahoma - 1pm
#15 Florida at #13 Ole Miss - 2pm est
#12 Wake Forest at #6 Duke - 3pm est

Good field at Indian Wells. I see how they made the draw but Oklahoma definitely got a favorable draw. Since Oklahoma has already squared off against Baylor and USC, I definitely wanted to see Baylor v USC and this all but assures that. Oklahoma should get several more chances against Baylor so I am hoping USC advances.
