Solid win for the Cards last eve over a traditional power Wooster.
Hung a big number on them.
Looking like the 2 early season losses are to legit teams- Hobart who continues to impress with a good win against Rochester and Hope - who is playing good ball as well.

Enjoy the turkey boys and then lets get at it!

Win over Wooster looks more impressive now that the Scots rebounded to beat #4 Hanover the other night.  Hoping that the Cards build upon this one and dont look past Cortland

As 1 who has seen Cortland up close and personal, 2 Times a year for at least the past 7 seasons,  that is good advice "don't look past Cortland "

Coach Spanbauer is the dean of coaches in the SUNYAC!  It's not a scheme that he hasn't seen!

Bengals- good to see you over here!
Looking for the cards to build momentum and take it to Cortland tonight.

Anyone- any word on Sausville?

I gotta admit, that Cortland STF game was a classic.  Cortland takes late lead STF comes back.  Comes down to last shot. East region Hoops ( E8, LL and SUNYAC) should all have multiple entries to the dance this year.

Sausville played 16 mins off the bench last night.  Short rotation, though - think that will be typical going forward?  They played quite a few guys to start the year.

Are you sure you wanted to post this on the E8 hoops board? Think you meant to use the football boards. And which Friday? Today or next Friday?

It is already the midway point of January. In a month's time, we will be looking at conference tournaments and discussing who has a chance to make the NCAA tournaments. However, there is still a lot of basketball to be played and many teams are starting to take the turn into the second half of conference play.

On Thursday's edition of Hoopsville, Dave will chat with a number of guests to get a landscape of where things are in Division III. The conversation will include checking in at the NCAA Convention where legislation will be voted on by DIII members and conferences on whether to start the season a week earlier.

Dave then talks to some of the hotter teams in the country. Two women's programs (ranked and unranked) who are leading their respective conferences and looking to build on recent success. Also two men's programs one of which is not in the spotlight as much as they traditionally are along with a program we haven't talked to in a number of years.

This week's WBCA Center Court will feature a women's coach who is doing what she can to spread the word about women's basketball including giving more of her time to make sure her colleagues are taken care of and heard.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch the show LIVE starting at 7:00 p.m. ET here: http://bit.ly/2DmSR9D

You can also send your questions to the show and have them featured on the Hoopsville Mailbag segment. Email them to hoopsville@d3hoops.com.

Guests include (in order of appearance):
- James Wagner, CSAC Assistant Commissioner
- Bobby Hurley, Stevens men's coach
- Kris Huffman, No. 9 DePauw women's coach
- Polly Thomason, Texas-Dallas women's coach (WBCA Center Court)
- Matt Logie, No. 7 Whitworth men's coach
- Ashlee Rogers, Marymount women's coach

Houghton just wouldn't go away last night at home. Sounded like the Highlanders were backed by a pep band! That's got to be the reason they were sharpshooters and played solid defense. AU was fortunate to escape with the win, 75-74.

AU (15-4, 8-2) now tied with Naz (8-2) for second place behind Stevens (15-4, 9-1), with some more tough games coming down the stretch. This group plays good team basketball and scoring is spread around in such a way that without checking the stats, it's likely there are FIVE players averaging in double digits. They play good team defense as well.

Saxons host a rising St. John Fisher team (11-8, 6-4) Tuesday, Feb. 6 in their next game. An odd weekend off for AU. Pep will be at the football banquet Saterday afternoon, anyway.

On Saxon Warriors!
On Saxon Warriors! On to Victory!
...Fight, fight for Alfred, A-L-F, R-E-D!

Alfred came from behind to edge regionally ranked Nazareth, 89-87 tonight at Galanis Arena. Trailing 81-72 with 2:12 remaining, the Saxons went on a 17-6 run as the Golden Flyers shot only 6-of-12 from the free throw line and failed to score a field goal. The Saxons went 7-of-8 at the line down the stretch and had a key steal on the inbounds pass with 9 seconds remaining after Nick Schmidt had hit four straight free throws to pull AU to within 87-86.

Following a Naz timeout, AU ran an inbounds play that left Schmidt alone in the corner, who nailed the trey to give AU the 89-87 lead with 7 seconds remaining. Naz rushed down the court and threw up an errant shot, AU garnered the rebound and the miracle win was celebrated with fans rushing the court.

The Saxons (16-6, 10-4 E8) have games remaining at Hartwick (8-15, 5-9 E8) Friday, Feb. 16 and at Utica (14-9, 9-5 E8) Saturday, Feb. 17.
The loss snapped a 7-game win streak by Naz (18-7, 13-3) and may have cost the Golden Flyers the #1 seed and home court in the E8 tourney, depending on what Stevens (18-5, 12-2 E8) does against Elmira and Utica.

On Saxon Warriors!
