The first Division III men's basketball tournament with at-large teams selected by NPI is in the books. We got a great tournament but did NPI pick the right teams?Join us for this episode as we look at the results NPI produced for teams in and around the bubble and compare and contrast that to how some other rating and ranking systems might have picked the limited number of at-large bids to the 2025 tournament. In the process we talk about the difference between the "best" teams and the "most deserving" teams and how that distinction is important to understanding how NPI works and what it is trying to accomplish.Related Episodes:What Every D3 Basketball Fan Needs To Know About NPI - Episode 101: https://youtu.be/gqYqgCoG8aARelated Links:Efficiency Ratings: https://d3datacast.com/efficiency-ratings/NPI Rankings: https://d3datacast.com/npi/Top 10 Dunks - 2024-2025 D3 Basketball Season: https://youtu.be/OgEHwiZsxrYShow Links:▶ Website: https://d3datacast.com/▶ Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/@d3datacast▶ Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/d3datacast▶ Follow on Facebook: https://facebook.com/d3datacast▶ Follow on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1twRPsVN00cCOxnFMldaw1?si=96c775bee5904b8e▶ Become our Teammate on Patreon: https://patreon.com/D3Datacast▶ D3 Datacast Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/d3-datacast/Show hosts:Matt Snyder: https://twitter.com/FFTMAGZac Snyder: https://twitter.com/ZacSnyder
