Episode description

We have officially made it through the offseason and the first week of the 2023-24 Division III basketball season is here! It’s time to get back into season mode with the show format you came to expect last season.

With the season just beginning our week one episode is all about previews and predictions. Let’s get things started with a look at Matt’s Top 25 ballot and talk about it as well as the preseason poll. We solicited the #d3hoops community looking for bold predictions and hot takes and had some brave souls willing to send us their thoughts. We read and react to those then offer a few of our own.

Then it is time for some familiar segments as we revive the weekly picks with the first five-game slate of the season. Our thanks to D3Hoops.com’s Ryan Scott for joining us as a special guest to start a new season of picks. Upset Watch had a good run a year ago; see who we think could be in some early trouble this season with a sneaky tough early game.

The mailbag will also make its return this season. If you have something you would like us to address in a future mailbag, leave a comment down below or find us on social media!
