After several weeks of midday shows, we are back to our regularly scheduled time of 7:00 PM ET - and we are super-sizing the show tonight to make up for not being able to be on air Thursday AND the craziness that has happened in the last week!



Today is a day we celebrate those we love and for many of us that includes the student-athletes, coaches, administrators, and programs in Division III.

On Monday's Hoopsville, we super-size the show to cover everything that has happened in the last week while also trying to look ahead at conference tournaments which start soon. After all, we are just two weeks away from talking about who is in or out of the NCAA Tournaments.

Plus, we look at the latest Top 25 polls which will be released Monday evening and react to the men's poll which will clearly undergo some shakeup.

Guests included:

  • Jenna Cosgrove, Rhode Island women's coach
  • Jon VanderWal, No. 2 Marietta men's coach
  • Lance Thornhill, Fontbonne men's coach
  • James Wallace, LeTourneau men's coach
  • Keri Carollo, No. 7 UW Whitewater women's coach
  • Anthony Mason, Vassar women's coach
  • Top 25 Double-Take Super Sized: Akiva Poppers, Bob Quillman, Mike Rejniak, Ryan Whitnable

So it looks like RIC, Eastern & Dartmouth are the top 3 seeds in that order.  RIC and Eastern could still tie at 14-2, but since Eastern lost to Dartmouth RIC would win that tiebreaker.  Boston, USM, Keene & Castleton will be 4 through 7 in some order though USM is gonna have 2 less games played so they can only finish as low as 5th and Castleton will have 1 less so they can only go as high as 6th, and Western & Plymouth are locked in at 8 & 9.

At the conclusion of Little East women's basketball play today, we most likely will have a coin flip to determine the #1 seed in the Little East women's basketball between Eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island College.   Eastern Connecticut finished at 15-1 in Little East play and has a bye today.   Rhode Island College is playing this afternoon at last place Plymouth State.   The Anchorwomen defeated Plymouth State earlier this season by a score of 87-47 in Providence, Ri, and there is no reason to believe that the rematch in Plymouth, NH starting at 1 PM Eastern today will turn out any differently.

Should RI College win, they will have ended the Little East regular season also at 15-1 in the Little East.  Since the Warriors and the Anchorwomen split the season series vs each other 1-1 (with the home team winning each game), and since E. Conn and RI Colllege will have swept all other Little East teams, it would come down to a coin flip to see which team gets home court advantage throughout the Little East.

Both the E. Conn St. Warriors and the RI College Anchorwomen have first round byes in the Little East tournament and will host conference semifinal games.

Halftime in Plymouth, NH--

RI College 45, Plymouth State 22

If this result holds, we will be heading for a coin flip between Eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island College to determine the #1 seed in the Little East women's basketball tournament.

Final score from Plymouth, NH--

RI College 74, Plymouth State 49

RI College and Eastern Connecticut finish tied for first place in the Little East at 15-1 in Little East play, and a series split of 1-1 vs each other.

A coin toss will determine the #1 seed in the Little East women's basketball tournament.

From the game recap of today's RI College vs Plymouth State game--

Eastern Connecticut State won the coin flip today and will be the #1 seed in the Little East women's basketball tournament.

Rhode Island College will be the #2 seed in the Little East tournament.

Hopefully RIC can make a good run in this tournament, make a run back to the final 4 and go a step forward and potentially win the whole thing.  Jenna Cosgrove has done a fantastic job with this program.  She won only 9 games her first season in charge, went up to 18 wins her second year, and not counting the shortened Covid year haven't finished with fewer than 22 wins.  Only Transylvania has a longer winning streak in the sport (they are tied with Webster at 27 wins in a row [NYU is only only on 25 since no UAA conference tournament] and since starting last year 1-2 they have reeled off 54 wins in their last 56 games.
