Big Events, Big Games – Episode 156

When we returned to producing weekly shows in October, we promised to take you all the way from the preseason through the postseason. Step one of that journey is complete and our first regular season show is here!

Join us as we take a look at some of the big events we can look forward to and a selection of other big non-conference games in the opening weekend and first full week of the 2026-2027 Division III men’s basketball season.

We also take a quick look at Matt’s preseason ballot for the D3Hoops.com Top 25 poll that he unveiled in the debut edition of the D3 Datacast newsletter, make our first picks against the D3 Datacast computer line of the season with a slate of five opening weekend games, and wrap things up with the mailbag.
