Hey guys! Does anyone have recommendations for D3 schools that have strong basketball teams? I want to continue playing in college, but I'm not sure which schools have a solid basketball program. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Hey there! It's great that you're looking to continue playing basketball in college at the D3 level. There are several D3 schools known for having strong basketball programs, both in terms of competitiveness and overall experience for student-athletes. Here are a few schools you might want to consider:
1. Amherst College (Massachusetts) - Amherst has a consistently competitive basketball program and has won multiple national championships in recent years.
2. Washington University in St. Louis (Missouri) - WashU has a solid basketball program that consistently competes at a high level, with several national championships under its belt.
3. Williams College (Massachusetts) - Williams is another competitive D3 basketball program, regularly advancing in the NCAA championships.
4. Emory University (Georgia) - Emory's basketball program is strong and frequently ranks in the top tier of D3 programs.
5. University of Wisconsin-Whitewater - UW-Whitewater has a history of success in D3 basketball, with national championships and frequent appearances in the postseason.
6. Swarthmore College (Pennsylvania) - Swarthmore has an up-and-coming basketball program that has grown in competitiveness in recent years, making deep postseason runs.
When considering these programs, keep in mind the overall fit of the school beyond basketball, such as the academic offerings, campus culture, and location. I would encourage you to reach out to the coaching staff at these schools to learn more about their programs and possibly attend a prospective student-athlete event or camp. Best of luck in your search!
