Not to be outdone, @kyerobinson_1 gets 30 on 10-15 shooting. I suspect these #d3hoops stars will be going back and forth like this all year!
All American @JevonYarbrough scored 30 in Hood's opener tonight. He did it on 10-12 shooting from the floor. That's what you call efficient. #d3hoops

The headline is a little bit of clickbait, but it's a good story nonetheless. 🤣 #d3hoops

The opening game for #d3hoops is less than three hours away. What's the story with Greenville @gu_mbball playing two games today? Is it just because they can? Ryan Scott asked head coach Dr. George Barber. youtu.be/cWeb8c3_5Ic

In a division where over 4,000 players (just MBB) will be in a varsity rotation, it's really hard to come up with a list of 25 preseason All-Americans. What a task that must be. But @RyanAlanScott watches as much D3 basketball as anyone - live and on stream. I know he keeps a running list of candidates; makes time to watch them; talks to coaches and others about them. So, no, the D3hoops.com All-American teams - led by Ryan - are not a "complete random guess." #d3hoops
Complete random guess. No question.

This lawsuit is absolutely crazy. The schools that have chosen to be in NCAA Division III subscribe to a philosophy built around "prioritizing the overall educational experience of student-athletes"...where "academics are the primary focus of the student-athlete experience." (NCAA members that want a more athletics-based model can move to Division I or Division II.) In alignment with that, these member schools have agreed "Division III financial aid is based on need and academic merit rather than athletics ability, reinforcing the division’s commitment to the overall educational experience"...thus no athletics-based scholarships. It's not price fixing lol. Each school determines what the school costs. It can set tuition at $15,000 per year...or $100,000...or whatever. Students that *choose to* attend a Division III school make a conscious decision to pay the cost...knowing there are no athletics-based scholarships (but that they can get financial aid based on need and merit...like every other student). Again, the students make the decision to attend...they are not forced to. Absolutely silly lawsuit.
An eye-raising new lawsuit filed this evening: two former and one current NCAA Division III athletes filed suit against the NCAA over Division III rules barring athletic scholarship, claiming that the restriction amounts to illegal price fixing under antitrust law.

We at D3sports really enjoyed working with Joe Davis when he was a student at Beloit! If nothing else, I can say I broadcast a #d3fb playoff game with Joe Davis and a #d3hoops game featuring No. 1 vs. No. 2 in the country. And he was amazing at it.
"The hands-on reps are everything." ⚾️ Joe Davis will call Game 1 of the #WorldSeries tonight. A position change at Division III @BeloitBucs helped launch his broadcasting career:
