I am a #d3hoops fanatic and talking head, particularly interested in team computer ratings. I co-host a weekly podcast called D3 Datacast (@d3datacast.bsky.social) and serve as a @d3hoops.bsky.social Top 25 voter.

Graduate of Calvin University (née College), where I fell in love with D3 basketball.
Massive win for the Detroit Tigers who still have an opportunity to throw Tarik Skubal twice in this series.

Lots of #d3hoops Quarterfinal games are being played today, but probably no potential bid thieves yet!

Every week without fail: "well, it will be kind of nice to have a shorter @d3datacast.bsky.social episode this week."

We have nine games involving ranked teams today in MBB, but No. 20 WPI at No. 8 Tufts looks like the best one of the lot!

The @d3datacast.bsky.social computer says Tufts by 4 pts.

Trying out this starter pack thing. Hit me up with anyone you think I should add. Not all these accounts are exclusively DIII sports folks, but I'm throwing in anyone who dabbles, as well.

Going to really have to dig in on a new #d3hoops Top 25 ballot tomorrow. I don't thinks this is going to be an easy week to vote. Will be a lot of shakeup I think?!

In our brave new NPI world, there will be a transition period as we try to figure out where teams really stand.

🚨NEW EPISODE ALERT!🚨

It will be another week until the first in-season #d3hoops Top 25 poll but with the preseason poll blown up, we survey the landscape and have @FFTMAG make a mock ballot.

No. 23 Hampden-Sydney at No. 5 Christopher Newport is going to be a good one tonight in MBB! #d3hoops

Whitworth, as usual, looks like they could be a force in the NWC this season. They lead Benedictine 38-29 at the half. #d3hoops MBB

Wabash's first home game of the season is an 87-59 win over Mt. St. Joseph. The LG's lost a 4-pt game to Heidelberg and a 10-pt game to Trine at the Trine Classic on opening weekend. #d3hoops
