Are These 10 Teams Flying Under the Top 25 Radar? – Episode 128

A total of 71 Division III men’s basketball teams have been named on at least one D3Hoops.com Top 25 ballot so far this season. In this week’s show we turn to the D3 Datacast efficiency ratings and take a look at the top ten teams that have not yet been named on a ballot. Are there some hidden gems, some teams flying under the radar?

Join us this week as we take our usual look around D3 hoops with our four-point play, examine those ten top teams not yet receiving Top 25 votes, talk about what the computer seems to like and how a human voter might or might not agree with the evaluation.

There will be a new D3hoops.com Top 25 poll this week so Matt reveals the ballot he will submit and we talk about where the Top 25 picture stands, how the past week’s results are helping to shape it and working through what can seem like confusing and conflicting results. We’ll wrap up with our weekly picks slate and a word of thanks for our great supporters.
