2023/10/23

The season hasn’t started, we don’t have a Top 25 poll and some rosters haven’t even been posted. Perfect time to pick some conference champions, right? It is definitely way too early to do that with much conviction but it’s never too early to have some fun and that’s what this episode is all about. We were pleased to be joined by Friends of the Program Karl Barkley, Ryan Whitnable and Bob Quillman for a way too early conference champions draft. The rules are simple: make a pick in snake draft order

Maybe it’s a question you have asked or maybe it’s a question you didn’t even know to ask. Either way, what’s the deal with the Coast-to-Coast Conference?

Long-time D3 Datacast fans will remember back to one of our earliest episodes where we ranked the top ten conferences in Division III basketball.
