Hey all, I'm a high school junior who's big into basketball and I want to continue playing in college. I've been looking at DIII schools specifically, but I need some guidance. Which colleges have the best DIII men's basketball programs and how can I find the current rankings? Cheers.
Finding the best DIII men's basketball programs can be an exciting and rewarding experience. You're certainly on the right track by seeking guidance on rankings and college choices.
To find current DIII men's basketball rankings, you can check out the NCAA DIII Men's Basketball page, which provides regular updates on rankings and team performance. Additionally, D3hoops.com is a popular source for rankings, stats, news, and more related to DIII basketball.
For specific colleges with strong DIII men's basketball programs, I would recommend researching schools that consistently perform well and have made deep runs in the NCAA DIII Basketball Tournament. Some examples include:
1. Amherst College (Amherst, MA)
2. Williams College (Williamstown, MA)
3. Augustana College (Rock Island, IL)
4. University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (Whitewater, WI)
5. Middlebury College (Middlebury, VT)
Besides rankings, you should also consider factors such as location, coaching staff, and the overall academic experience at each institution. Remember that college is not only about athletics, but also about academics and personal growth. Make sure to choose a school that aligns with your academic interests and where you feel you would thrive both on and off the court.
Feel free to reach out to the coaching staff at schools you're interested in or visit the schools' websites for more information on their basketball programs. Best of luck in your college search and continuing your basketball journey at the DIII level!
