Elite Eight/Final Four Review, Championship Preview & Picks - D3 Datacast - Episode 146

Just one game remains for the 2025-2026 Division III men’s basketball season. It has been quite a season, quite a tournament and it looks like we will have quite a championship game as Emory and Mary Washington have made it through Fort Wayne to reach the title game at the combined championship weekend at the Division I Final Four in Indianapolis.

Fort Wayne proved the end of the line for St. Thomas, Illinois Wesleyan, Tufts, Chicago, Christopher Newport and Trinity (CT), but all had tremendous season and were part of great games we saw in Fort Wayne between the tournament’s quarterfinals and semifinals.

Join us in this edition of The D3 Datacast as we look back at what took place in Fort Wayne and what lies ahead in Indianapolis when Emory and Mary Washington meet for the right to hoist the championship trophy.
