Some great games today as #d3hoops tournament action resumes but we had to pick just five of them for this week's picks slate.

The first weekend of the #d3hoops MBB Tournament was a good one for underdogs. 3 of the D3 Datacast computer's top 8 favorites to win it all are OUT.

We went through the updated championship odds for each team remaining in the field in this week's show.

We have added the GNAC as a MBB bid thief conference now with St. Joseph's (ME) >99% in Pool C in our latest sims.

As long as the following conference tournaments are won by a team on this list, six at-large bids will be up for grabs. Each bid thief takes one away.

The #d3hoops MBB bid thief picture has been pretty quiet so far - good news for the bubble!

We'll hold off adding them to the list right now but keep an eye on the GNAC, LEC, OAC as additional potential bid thief Finals with St. Joe's ME, Keene St and John Carroll looking good.
February 28, 2025 at 2:09 PM
St. Thomas and Saint John's aren't *technically* locks by our most recent sims but we will treat them as such for MBB bid thief watch.

The ODAC loses Hampden-Sydney as a non-bid thief alternative but the WIAC is now free of bid thieving challengers.

Here is our updated #d3hoops MBB Bubble Watch coming into play Saturday 2/15.

NYU has fallen off this view because they secured the UAA Pool A bid in all 1,000 simulations in this morning's run.

In 2023, MBB Pool C #21 was #31 overall. In 2022, it was #47 overall!

The Championships Committee has discussed initial fall sport NPI feedback, including the effects of the "dials" in select sports. It's likely #d3fb was one of them.

We have already analyzed what a different WP/SOS mix would have meant for this season: d3datacast.com/2024/11/19/c...
