The Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) has finally announced the draw for the Men's National Team Indoor Championship Division that kicks off on Friday, with some of the biggest indoor collegiate teams across the United States participating.

According to the official ITA website, the games will be held at Columbia University's Philip & Cheryl Milstein Family Tennis Center in New York City and the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, New York. The tournament will consist of 16 of the best collegiate teams in the United States in a massive tournament bracket to decide the best men's indoor tennis team in the country.

Ohio State University will be this year's top seed as they continue their campaign to retake the indoor title they previously won back in 2019. They are currently 9-0 this season and will be facing off against Alabama in the first round.

TCU is ranked at #2 and will be facing the 15th seed, Arizona State, while Texas is slated to take on 14th-ranked Arizona. Virginia is slated to take on 13th-ranked Duke University while 5th-ranked Tennessee will take on 12th-ranked USC. Sixth-ranked Wake Forest will take on 11th-ranked Michigan, 7th-ranked South Carolina will take on 10th-ranked Texas A&M, and 8th-ranked hosts, Columbia University will take on 9th-ranked Harvard University.

The ITA revealed that this will be a single-elimination tournament, with teams being expected to play one match each day. The final is expected to be played on Monday, February 19, at noon local time (ET). All teams are guaranteed to play at least six matches, though, be it to advance in the tournament or play in the consolation draw.

There will be a TrackTennis live stream. For those who cannot watch, there will also be an iOnCourt live scoring for the matches. Commentary will be provided by Cracked Racquets, which will be holding the livestream on their YouTube channel.

The games will be played in Colombia University's own backyard in New York City. This will be the school's first time back in the tournament since the 2020 spring season, which was held in Madison, Wisconsin.

Their first opponent will be Harvard University, but should Colombia win that match, it will be facing a much tougher opponent, as it could possibly take on #1-ranked Ohio State University next should it win its match against Alabama.
