It’s invite season! Top NCAA Division I programs begin their mid-season invites this week, where many programs traditionally take some level of rest. The bulk of our top 20 programs are competing this week, though the marquee invite is probably the Minnesota Invite in two weeks.
We ran through this week’s invites in more detail last week, and you can read that story here. In the meantime, here’s a quick, high-level look at the teams in on each of the top 7 invites this week, plus the Minnesota Invite next month:
