Last Georgia team standing? Emory looks to win its first hoops national title
The Emory basketball team is more concerned with rim protection than it is with roster protection as it prepares for the NCAA Division III championship game Sunday.
Under ordinary circumstances, a larger school from a higher division could be ready to shell out some NIL money to initiate a transfer and raid the roster. Schools similar in size to Emory often have their players poached by Division I schools with larger budgets.

'The most remarkable thing that's ever happened here:' Former UMW coach, alumni 'over the moon' with title run
by Taft Coghill Jr. | Apr 3, 2026 | ALLFFP, Sports, University of Mary Washington
After the University of Mary Washington men’s basketball team advanced to the NCAA Division III Elite 8 in 2014, then-head coach Rod Wood thought to himself, “this shouldn’t have happened.”
It wasn’t that Wood believed he was an undeserving coach, or his team lacked talent; rather, he was in awe that UMW — with its rigorous academic standards — was competing at such a high level.
“The restrictions that are in place — the academic standards, the financial aid, the admission standards — all those kinds of things make it very difficult in basketball,” Wood said.

Championship bound: Behind the scenes of Emory’s historic men’s basketball season
Before the Emory men’s basketball team advanced to its first ever NCAA Division III National Championship game, the Eagles found themselves on the precipice of elimination with a clear view into the abyss of the offseason.
They had surrendered a healthy lead against Illinois Wesleyan in the Elite Eight, and the game was suddenly tied at 78 with less than 30 seconds remaining.
A loss would have marked a premature end to a storybook season for a vaunted senior class. It would have meant no more film sessions, practices or road trips until the fall semester. On the bench, some players couldn’t help but think the dream of making the Final Four — and potentially winning a national championship — was slipping away.
