Our thoughts go out to the entire Muskingum University family. Junior Jarrell Marsh was killed in a single-vehicle accident earlier today. One day after scoring his 1,000th career point:

John Carroll SID Chris Wenzler was one of the greats, great person to work with, never gave us a hassle about any requests, no matter how odd. He lost his two-year battle with cancer this afternoon, sad to say. Rest in peace,

Hey, for the record, no they shouldn't because
1. That is tampering.
2. D3 is not some developmental league for D1. You want a kid? Offer them out of high school.

D3 transfer Luke Smith (University of the South) leads 6-1 Belmont in scoring at 19.1 ppg. He may be undersized at 6’0”, but Smith is an absolute sniper from deep: he’s a blistering 30-60 from beyond the arc this season. More mid-majors should be recruiting D2/D3 up-transfers!
The UW-Whitewater men's basketball team has been dealing with a big loss all season long. And they've dealt with it well enough to win the WIAC tournament and advance to the D-III Sweet 16.

The new men's basketball Top 25 is out, with one team reaching its highest ranking ever, and another joining the poll for the first time in nearly seven years:

There's been some very public complaints today about how hosts for D-III basketball sectionals were chosen. If you're a coach, or a university president, *you have the power to change this.* A school has a vote at the
@NCAA
convention. Work to change how D-III budgets.

Introducing the men's basketball All-America Fourth Team: Jake Rhode of Elmhurst, Ben College of Whitworth, DeAnte Bruton of Nichols, Nate Shafer of Swarthmore and Gabriel Leifer of Yeshiva.

Could there still be postseason Division III basketball events? We are hoping so, and we have been working to try to make some happen. Here's where we are at:

We didn't get to end the season in a championship game, but we still have a final Top 25. Here's the final men's basketball poll, with ... how many teams getting No. 1 votes?

Kudos once again to
@SamAtkinsonSID
and the Division III men's basketball committee. Imagine if all those tight finishes had happened at the same time? Instead, we got one or two every half-hour this evening. Well done.

This was a missed opportunity to give a sectional to a part of the country that regularly gets screwed because of NCAA travel restrictions. Three teams have to fly no matter where, so why not give it to the

According to sources: The Amherst WBB Sectional will take place at Amherst’s LeFrak Gymnasium but NO fans will be allowed to attend. I am told all three other schools involved are angry about this decision, but nothing was changed today. Teams limited to 25 personel.

Dear coaches and athletic directors: Are you having an end-of-year banquet? One where you thank people? Then please make sure to THANK YOUR SIDs! You'd be surprised how often you forget to do so!

And the men's Elite 8 is in the books: Marietta vs. Christopher Newport, Randolph-Macon vs. WPI, UMHB vs. Elmhurst and Wabash vs. Illinois Wesleyan.

These are the best of the best: a decade's worth of players boiled down to one set of honors. It's the men's basketball All-Decade team for the 2010s:

Randolph-Macon defeats Lynchburg 70-62 for the ODAC men's title and will remain unbeaten headed into No. 1-vs.-No. 2 showdown with Trine on Sunday.

Transylvania wins it at the buzzer, beating Mount St. Joseph 63-62! Check it out in slow motion -- the clock starts on time and the ball is away before the light turns on.

Just sent out emails to all

schools, all conference offices and select head coaches in conferences where schools do not report their scores/stats to us on game day. We are working hard to make sure we get as much D-III basketball data on the site in 2021-22 as possible!
This is MIND-BOGGLING... this is a division three college and there isn’t an empty seat in the entire arena. A lot of division one schools can’t even fill a place up like this.
