D3 Datacast

In this show we run through the bracket to look back at the first weekend of the 2024 NCAA Tournament. With the help of the D3 Datacast computer we then take a look at the Sweet 16 and beyond!

Our last show was all about digging deep into the first round matchups of the the 2024 NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Tournament. Now it’s time to zoom out and take a look at the bracket as a whole. Who are the overall favorites?

Find out who the D3 Datacast computer ratings see as the favorites in each matchup and which could be sneaky good first round games to keep an eye on as the tournament begins.

Matt and Zac give their initial impressions and reactions to the bracket, the seedings, and selections in an early-week bonus episode!

We got the release of the week three Division III men’s basketball regional rankings and for the most part they look a lot like the rankings from our predictions!

We took the updated data for games played through Sunday February 18 coupled with what we feel are some of the lessons we’ve learned from the first two weeks of rankings to come out with our predictions for what we will see when the week three regional rankings are released on Tuesday.

Join us as we review the second regional rankings and discuss the differences from our predictions and what conclusions we might be able to draw from them.

With updated winning percentages, strength of schedules, results versus regionally ranked opponents to add to the mix and some lessons learned from what we got last week we are back with a new set of predictions for what we think we will see in the new regional rankings.

It’s bonus episode time to take a look at the official first set of regional rankings and compare them with what we had in our predictions episode earlier this week. How did we do?
