It might be after we aired, but still worth promoting ... watch the show On Demand or listen to the podcast!



The first semester is coming to a close. With it comes an opportunity to look back and evaluate what we've seen throughout Division III basketball so far. Did we get any early Christmas gifts? Or did some teams get some coal?

This is also the time of the year one starts to look around to see if any teams are flying a little under the radar. Off to good starts that maybe haven't been noticed or a big win or two here and there have people scratching their heads.

Sunday on Hoopsville, we not only shined a light on some programs off the radar, but also start pondered the opening, nearly, six weeks of the season. Be sure to tune in as we take the new "Buy or Sell" up a few notches.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Sunday's episode is available to watch, in two parts, On Demand in the video player(s) above. You can also listen to the show, in it's entirety, via the audio-only podcast. You can find it here: http://bit.ly/2rFVWsQ

Ronk:

I agree on TMU.

I watched the first half of the Hope/TMU game tonight to see what happened yesterday.

Temple is excellent. She has a complete skill set as an offensive player. Imagine going from a tiny (but very effective) Abby Owings as PG to lengthy Madison Temple as PG. I'm trying to watch game film of as many All-Americans as I can (and hopefully more than once)for many of them) and I haven't anyone who's close to her yet.

But that team also has really good balance. Schultz is a good center, Rupp can score and they have two players (Saner and McNutt) who take and make a lot of threes. So you really can't sag off another player and help on Temple, which opens up all kinds of passing and driving lanes.

Last year Amherst used its length to take Owings out of the game and made Temple try to beat them on her own. This year that's going to be harder to do. Bowdoin reminds me a little of Amherst with its length, but I don't know what more Thomas More could do to show it's the best team in the country. This feels like the Harlem Globetrotters tour, except Thomas More is playing a brutal schedule and not the Washington Generals.

Also thanks for the heads up on Scranton's record for the Top 25 poll. The voters had the correct data.

But the site automatically uses the record of teams at the time of posting, so the wins for Scranton and a couple other teams on Monday night were included when I posted the poll in the wee hours of the morning on Monday/Tuesday after those games were final.

Gordon,
Reasonable explanation for the discrepancy - glad to hear the correct data was used.

I like the way Madison Temple sees the whole show on offense, at a different speed than the rest of the players on the court.  That way, she doesn't miss someone who's open or about to get open and, when the shot clock is down to 10 seconds, she still has a number of personal options(drive, dish, or shoot a 3).

Is today's Top 25 the last one before New Year's?

gordonmann

Yes. After today our next poll is released during the first full week of January.

Ralph Turner

Whoa!  3 ASC teams in the Top 25 plus a SCAC?

That takes me back to the days when HPU, HSU, McMurry, and Trinity TX were fighting it out!

Darryl Nester

How They Fared (So Far)
Lots more games to come before the next poll. I'll post updates on the next two Thursdays before the final report on 1/6.

Finals are done. Teams are getting a break, short or long. Everyone is taking a moment to slow down, enjoy time with family (hopefully), and take a breather.

That's what happens when the first semester comes to a close. Before long, the pressure will increase and games will be in full throat. This break will seem like a distant memory.

In an ode to those leaving work, campus early for the holidays - maybe hitting the road in the afternoon instead of evening, Hoopsville wraps up the finale to the first semester with an early show on Thursday. Dave talks with a couple of programs who have captured his attention. He also chats with a conference commissioner who not only has had a direct impact on the evolution of Division IIII basketball, but is also hanging up his commissioner's hat at the end of the academic year.

And who wants to "buy or sell" women's programs? Gordon Mann joins Dave with his take on the first six weeks of the season. There isn't anyone better to break down DIIII women's hoops, than Gordon.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can tune into Thursday's special edition starting at 2:00 p.m. ET LIVE in the video player above. If you miss any of the show, you can watch it On Demand or listen to the audio-only podcast to the right (available shortly after the show goes off air).

If you have questions about Division III basketball, feel free to send them and we will answer them on a the show. Email them to hoopsville@d3hoops.com or use any of the social media options to the right.

Guests Schedule (order subject to change):
-Michelle Filander, No. 25 Austin women's coach
-Gordon Mann, D3hoops.com Deputy Editor ("Buy or Sell")
- Steve Ulrich, Centennial Conference commissioner
-Shanan Rosenberg, Linfield men's coach

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh



The holidays are over and for many Division III basketball teams, the conference schedules are already in full swing. It doesn't take much time before a casual break ramps up into high-pressure games.

Hoopsville is also back from it's holiday "break" on Sunday evening. Dave tries to get caught up after a couple of weeks of action and wild results. Who impressed during the holidays? Who (re)started conference play with a bang? What does the final two months of the regular season have in store? What will the new year's first Top 25 ballots look like?

Plus, there is a new wins leader in Division III women's basketball. It's not Mike Strong. It's Andy Yosinoff of Emmanuel. We chat with the all-time winningest coach in DIII history.

Sunday's episode of Hoopsville has guests primarily from the Atlantic, Central Northeast, and South Regions, but we try and talk about anything news worthy.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Sunday's edition hits the air LIVE starting at 7:00 p.m. ET. Just click here: http://bit.ly/2SDjtqh

If you have questions about Division III basketball, feel free to send them and we will answer them on a the show. Email them to hoopsville@d3hoops.com or use any of the social media options below.

The grind of conference play is in full gear. Nothing beats a team up or reveals how good one is like the grind of conference play.

Thursday night on Hoopsville we take a look at the grind and how teams are surviving, surprising, and even impressing as the holidays and the break quickly become a distant memory in the rear view mirror.

The first of the season's "WBCA Center Court" segments also debuts with the dedication of one coach off the court and with her family. UW-Platteville women's coach Megan Wilson talks about her daughter's battle with cancer and the decision to step away from coaching to help her daughter fight.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch Thursday's show, LIVE, starting at 7:00 p.m. ET here: http://bit.ly/2D0Qd7t
