How have Division 2 Elite 8 teams from 2024 performed in 2025
Nova Southeastern has started off 7-0. The Sharks have scored over 100 points in each game this season. Nova Southeastern must still have a bad taste in their mouths from the final last season.
Minnesota State is 4-4. The Mavericks opened up with an exhibition at Kentucky. After a slow start the Mavericks have won 3 straight and are now sitting at 500.
Ferris State is 8-1. The Bulldogs only loss is to West Texas A&M. The Herdsmen also made the elite 8 last season.
West Texas A&M is 6-0, undefeated in the early part of the season. They play a few conference games before the December break, but will get to the heart of their schedule in January.
CSUSB is off to a 7-2 start.
Gannon is 6-2 and one of their early season losses was to Nova Southeastern 99-122. Look for the Golden Knights to make a run again this season
UNG is off to a 7-1 start and played defending champion Minnesota State in the small college hall of fame basketball tournament in Lakeland in November. North Georgia plays gritty, tough defense.
SNH is 3-3, yep I know everyone has seen the commercials for their great online programs, however Southern New Hampshire has a pretty good basketball team! Last year they went 24-11 so if I am a fan. I wouldn't worry about the early season start.
One thing I can say about most of the elite 8 teams from last year is that most of them have scored at least 100 points in a game. This let's me know these teams still have plenty of fire power left.
