 Titan Q,
    Enjoyed the show; glad to hear at the end that you're going to try to do it again later in the season.

I agree with ronk on his statement.

If the regular season ended today, I believe the following are the candidates to have brackets built around them:

2 locks:
-RMC: .938/.613
-Marietta: .882/.624

Pick 2 (geography certainly a huge consideration):
-UW-Platteville: .947/.602
-WashU: .933/.581
-Williams: .933/.579

Can someone post the D3 championship handbook? I was wondering about key dates like the regional rankings, selection date, tournament dates etc. Thanks.

I also saw Fort Wayne is getting the tournament through 2026.

[Pat Coleman]

Indeed, Fort Wayne through 2026: https://d3hoops.com/notables/2020/10/mbb-final-four-re-ups-for-fort-wayne

Thanks guys.

Reminder, #NCAAD3 Week 1 MBB Regional Rankings come out today ... and they will be posted ALPHABETICALLY.

This is a trial idea that was already seen in the fall when Pat and Dave initially spoke about it on a special crossover podcast: https://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2020-21/bonus-reg-rankings.

Also talked about it with both nat'l cmte chairs in the late November conversation (fast forward to the 26:25 mark): https://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2020-21/bonus-reg-rankings #d3hoops

Very confusing for fans that the released regional rankings today have numbers assigned, but the names are listed alphabetical. Fall was not like this. Hopefully NCAA can fix it.

Update: Numbers are removed and stat sheets are live! Fairly quick fix!

Not sure how we got the NCAA's regional rankings more correct than the NCAA did, but so be it. We had the stat sheets linked correctly before they did and we knew well enough to remove the ranking numbers before ever publishing.

So, anyone smarter than me feel like wasting time and guessing what each region's ranking could actually look like?
