This segment is a recap of what is going on around the NAIA Hoops world. We will have game scores, upcoming games, and other information that pertains to NAIA Men’s basketball.

- One thing to note is that the NAIA App will have a good majority of the games live as well. You can download the App on your phone, Roku Stick, FireTV, and Apple TV devices. There are other streaming options that some schools choose to use such as; YouTube, Live Stream, and others. We will tag all the games we can, but if you can’t find a game on the NAIA App, then I suggest you go to the basketball program’s website in which you want to watch, and most will have the link attached to their schedule.
