The 2026 NCAADivision III Men’s Basketball Tournament got off to a tremendous start as the field of 64 is already whittled down to the Sweet 16.
We talk through what we saw last weekend in first and second round games and look ahead to a special stand-alone Sweet 16 weekend. With the help of the D3 Datacast efficiency ratings, we dive into the second weekend matchups to see who the favorites are and by how much with a projected computer line.
We then zoom back out to take an updated look at the overall bracket odds to see what odds the computer gives for each team to move on and ultimately win it all!
Join us in this edition of The D3 Datacast for that and more as we go with a super-sized picks slate with all eight Sweet 16 games and wrap up with two pieces of mail in the mailbag.
