The first full week of the 2024-2025 Division III men’s basketball season is in the books and in a lot of ways the preseason Top 25 picture has been completely blown up. As we did in last week’s show, we take a look at some of the big results involving Top 25 teams and other games that caught our eye this past week. We are still a week away from the first in-season D3hoops.com Top 25 poll but Matt put together a mock bracket to give his updated outlook on the Top 25 picture.

We also look back at how we did against our week two picks slate and make our decisions on a new five-game slate for week three picks, then wrap up with a look at some ranked teams who have important games against unranked opponents this week and check in with our viewers in the mailbag.

The 2024-2025 Division III men’s basketball season got off to a fast start over the weekend and it is already having an impact on the Top 25 picture. Join us this week as we react to the biggest wins, surprising losses and best games and how that makes us think about the national rankings moving forward.

We also look back at how we did against our week one picks slate and make our decisions on a new five-game slate for week two picks, then wrap up with a look at some ranked teams who have important games against unranked opponents this week.

The first week of the 2024-2025 Division III basketball season is finally here! We dive right back into the comfort of our familiar weekly show. Back again this season are discussions about Matt’s Top 25 ballot and the Top 25 poll as a whole, a main show topic, a five game slate we pick against the efficiency ratings computer line and our weekly mailbag.

We are also bringing back upset watch but in a slightly different format. Rather than trying to predict an upset we will take a weekly look at some of the most compelling “ranked vs. unranked” matchups.

Join us this week as we have some fun with bold predictions and hot takes as we enter the season - both from our great viewers and ourselves. And is the supposed “AI revolution” coming for D3 hoops? We have some fun looking at reasons to believe it is not.
