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.
