MBB: Ohio Athletic Conference

They're all three in based on NPI. Just a matter of where. The team to feel bad for is the last team out that lost their spot because Berg somehow won. Not that they're a bad team, but 7-9 is 7-9. You're definitely not a good team either. Although they took 2 of 3 from Mount so there's that. Mount struggles with the undersized teams (see Wilmington always).

Is there any information as to whether Flosports will cover OAC tourney games?

No, FloSports does not have any rights to NCAA Tournament games. Tournament games will be available through the NCAA streaming platform, until the quarterfinals when games will stream on ESPN+.

Mount gets W&J in their opener at CNU. If they win they'll face CNU or Stevens. Don't think that it is lost on me that the other side of the pod are the last two teams to bounce Mount from the NCAA tourney. Hopefully a little redemption is coming.

Berg is on the road at hose IWU. JCU is also in that pod.

Ott is playing UWP at Chicago.

Don't follow D3 basketball these days but GO BERG !

Congrats to the OAC getting three teams into the tourney. Hopefully, all three can win game one to add credence to the process.

Is there streaming available for the D3 tourney? If so, how do I get it. I am tech challenged, but I gotta see the Raiders.

Yes -- we will have the links on our scoreboard page as always. There is one central "hub" these days for D-III basketball NCAA Tournament games. First three rounds are free but games in the Elite 8 and later are on ESPN+.

Mount needs a little payback for that horrible no-call at the end of the CNU championship game

Remember Mount tips off at 3:15pm today. Hopefully going to be able to have it on while I work.

Raiders looking good. W&J doesn't belong on the same court.

edit: and the Raiders dip takes effect smh

Dr. Acula · March 06, 2026, 04:09:04 PM

I was not able to watch/listen to the first half. Gotta clean up the turnovers. 13 in the first half is uhh not great. Don't love seeing that Hamilton has 4 of them.

D3fanboy · March 06, 2026, 05:40:37 PM

Needed to put some distance when W&J was literally just throwing the ball off of the backboard in the first half. Rough game by the starting backcourt

Tough shooting night for Mount except foul line was great. Turnovers hurt too. Entertaining game. Mount by far, must have the most coaches on the bench of any team in the ncaa's.

Ott (20-37) and UWP (31-21) was tale of two halves. Ott played much harder in the second half and seemed to rattle UWP. The refs did make it tough to watch, equally bad for both.

Heidi seemed to hang and hovering the whole game vs IWU, even though only scoring 15 points in the first half. Amazed at the run for the main group of undersized and Heidi ironmen.

JCU (still related to OAC this year for me) had the best round one draw of the four OACers.

You cannot beat the Sisters of the Poor with 20 turnovers...Our guards have driven into trouble in the lane all season and the results were always predictable, more negative than positive, especially today.
8 TO's by our guards in the first half, a shock for most Mount fans. When you provide 16 points on turnovers it is too much to overcome. A really depressing end to a wonderful season. Best news is that only graduating three, Moore may check on eligibility for another year, he is the best athlete on the floor. Weekly will be beastly, and the lanky kid from Green improved every game. Dunbar will be a force, and our inside game will be as good as anyone this side of Illinois. I'm looking forward to it.
