D3 Datacast

As the bulk of the remaining action this season shifts to conference play, we take a look inside ten conference races that look wide open.

Using the D3 Datacast team efficiency ratings we can simulate the remaining games yet to be played and run it through NPI. Do it 1,000 times and we can get a picture of how likely teams are to win their automatic qualifier and, if necessary, qualify for the tournament as an at-large selection.

We love a way too early contest here at The D3 Datacat so it’s time to break out our annual draft to predict which teams will receive at-large bids to the NCAA Division III men’s basketball tournament!

This week we zoom out from our usual focus on individual teams and look at how efficiency rating conference rankings are taking shape through the early portion of this Division III men’s basketball 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 for another four-point play where we talk about what has been catching our eye across the country then dive in to take a look at a few programs who have made notable moves in our efficiency ratings so far this season.

Join us this week as we react to another exciting week of action and try to make sense of it all, starting with a scan of the country in our “four-point play” to start another episode.
