We talk a lot about Division III men’s basketball rankings, tournament selections, seeding, bracketing and championship weekend but this time our audience can hear it from a real expert as we sit down for a chat with Cam Fuller, this season’s chair of the men’s basketball committee.
It was great to get a chance to talk with Cam about the transition from the old regional ranking system to NPI, evaluating the NPI “dials”, changes to this season’s tournament and the opportunities it creates as a result of the combined championship with Divisions I and II, bracketing, seeding and one last run in Fort Wayne.
Join us this week on The D3 Datacast for that and more as we take a spin around the country in our Four-Point Play, check in on Matt’s new Top 25 ballot, pick another slate of games against the computer line and wrap-up with three pieces of mail in the mailbag.
