Could be a good one in Richardson tonight. Austin College opens up at UTD. The Comets have always seemed to be the team that AC just can't quite get over the hump against, so it'll be a good chance for the 'Roos to measure themselves up to a potentially strong team.

Just an FYI - Austin is dealing with the death of a player over the weekend. Wonder where their emotions will be tonight: http://www.acroos.com/sports/mbkb/2017-18/releases/20171111h72yk9

Yep. The AC men open up at LeTourneau tonight, so in addition to playing an excellent team, they've got that weighing on them. I can't even imagine.

Ok, now THERE'S the Austin College team I was expecting to see in the preseason. Granted, 3 of their 4 losses have come against two teams that are a combined 10-1. But the 'Roos got the upset win against #13 WashU tonight, on WashU's home court. Bryce Frank with 30 and 15. She scored 28 of her 30 points in the second and third quarters as AC completely dominated those middle two quarters to come from an early double-digit deficit.

EDIT: Actually just looked, and the fourth loss doesn't look so bad right now, either. Hendrix is 6-1, so the four losses have come against three teams that are a combined 16-2, with three of the four losses coming on the road (plus, AC beat Hendrix by 15 at home).

Bryce Frank was a beast last year and even moreso this year.  Jan 20th should be a good one ... as should Jan 28 :)

It is the time of the season when managing practices and games around finals and soon-to-be holiday breaks can be difficult, especially as most conferences have begun in-conference games while there are still non-conference battles on tap.

On Thursday's edition of Hoopsville, Dave chats with a number of coaches who have had significant starts to the season, but are now managing their seasons. How are the highs and lows massaged and how to keep student-athletes focused not only on their studies (and finals), but also the game.

Results at this time of the year will be a factor come the end of the season.

Dave will also discuss, and update if able, the breaking news out of St. Norbert where the women's basketball team has been suspended ten games due to a number of players' actions.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch the show starting at 7:00 pm ET here: http://bit.ly/2ADCaC3.

Five straight wins for Austin College to close out the non-conference portion of the schedule. I'm sure the 'Roos would love to have one or two games back of their four losses, but 7-4 heading into conference play isn't a bad spot with wins over WashU and UT-Tyler on the resume. Should be an interesting conference season. Obviously someone might come up and surprise, but right now it's certainly looking like it's heading for a Trinity/Austin College showdown to determine the conference champ.

First showdown of the conference powers tomorrow night as the very impressive Roos (12-0 12-4, 5-0 SCAC) take on Trinity (11-2, 4-0) at 6.   AC is outscoring conference opponents by nearly 30 ppg to Trinity's 24 ppg margin.

I think tonight made it pretty clear why Micah Weaver and Bryce Frank are pretty much head and shoulders above everyone else in the race for SCAC Player of the Year. 42 points, 10 boards, 6 assists for Micah and 32 points, 15 boards, and 6 assists for Bryce. Next week in Sherman should be a good one and will almost certainly decide the regular season championship.

It took a school record-tying performance by Micah (15-20 FG) to get past AC tonight.   Going to need a much more balanced attack next week for Trinity to have success again in Sherman.

Austin College gets the 79-70 win today in Sherman. Addison Walling with 20 points and Bryce Frank with 20 and 18 for Austin College. Micah Weaver with 20 for Trinity.

I'd say we're almost certainly headed for a rubber match in Colorado Springs for the championship, barring something somewhat shocking.

The big game is over, so now it's time to focus only on basketball. Division III basketball to be exact.

Join Dave and a number of guests on this special Monday edition of Hoopsville. There is plenty to talk about including another crazy weekend of results that will have Top 25 voters scratching their heads and maybe pulling hair off their head as well. Plus, the first regional rankings come out later this week. While predictions are hard, there at least will be some reminding of how this all works.

And maybe even a preview of what this evening's Top 25s look like.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch the show starting at 2:00 p.m. ET here: http://bit.ly/2FOQ7hX
