Hoopsville: Division III Basketball's Talk Show

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Wait... what?! Who won? Hold on, who lost?!

How did... but they... so... wow... okay.

Another crazy week(end) of Division III basketball leaves us more questions to answer, heads to scratch, and what-ifs to contemplate.

Sunday night's episode of Hoopsville promises to ... hmm, maybe we shouldn't promise too much if this season is a lesson in anything. Nothing is guaranteed.

Tune in LIVE starting at 7pm ET as Dave is joined by a few guests from around the country, but more importantly takes the time to look at some of the more interesting conference races and upcoming tournaments. There is plenty to dissect just two weeks away from the close of the regular season.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

As the regular season draws ever closer to the end, the intensity of conference races increases. There are very few teams in both the men's and women's side of Division III basketball that seem comfortable at the top. With conference tournaments starting, being at the top is important, but it also comes with a big target.

This Thursday's Hoopsville is a special podcast edition - not live.

On the show, Dave talks to several coaches who teams seem like they have wrapped up their conferences races and one who may not be able to take the top spot, but is in great position to win it all their first time in the league.

We also talk to a coach who has more time than it seems anyone else. How she is using that time to help her school's SAAC in many ways and how that help is allowing the student-athletes at Southern Maine to give back to the school, the community, and many more.

The final week of the 2017-18 season is upon us. In a week's time, the topic will be who has punched their tickets to the NCAA tournaments and who is hoping to get selected. This week... we don't know many of the answers and some questions have yet to be considered.

url=http://www.d3hoopsville.com]Hoopsville[/url] returns to the air LIVE this Sunday night with a jam-packed, and super-sized, edition. Dave welcomes guests from around the country and looks at a lot of the conference tournaments which are getting underway. Can some of the top teams take advantage of home-court advantage? Who may surprise? Who do some NOT want to see lose if they hope to make the tournament themselves?

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

It is down to the final week of the regular season. It is now or never. Win the conference tournament, earn the automatic qualifier, and a team will be playing in March. Don't win it and either hold out hope for an at-large selection or the season is over.

The season continues or ends on the bounce of a ball from here on out.

So who may be in jeopardy and who is sitting pretty? On Thursday's edition of Hoopsville, we start to read the tea leaves while also chatting with teams who are hoping to punch their ticket for the Road to Salem or Rochester themselves. Plus, we get a preview of what could be a fascinating weekend of NESCAC tournament action at Amherst.

The regular season is over. Conference titles have been crowned and most teams are either getting ready for the NCAA tournament or packing up their locker rooms.

However, there are quite a few programs who are now sitting and waiting ... waiting to hear whether they have been selected to compete for a national title as well.

Who may be in and who may be left out of the NCAA selections? On Sunday's Hoopsville Special, Dave McHugh is joined by those who know Division III inside and out to try and figure out who will make up the two 64-team brackets.

The Hoospville Special: Selection Sunday gave us plenty of time to not only make our mock selections, but also talk to programs who have either earned NCAA berths or are waiting to find out if they will make it.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

We forgot to post this yesterday... or more realistically, didn't have time...



The NCAA Division III tournaments are set. We know which 128 teams will be playing for the national championship. But there were some surprises, maybe some controversy, and certainly a lot of questions.

On a special edition of Hoopsville, Dave McHugh was joined by Ryan Scott as they answered questions, tried to understand some of the decisions made, and pointed to some of the more interesting games to watch.

Dave also had a chance to talk more in depth about one of the big stories in the men's bracket, Yeshiva. Men's coach Elliot Steinmetz discussed the team's first ever conference title, NCAA tournament berth, and some of the scheduling changes that will take place to accommodate the school's religious background.

Dave will also talked to the men's committee chairs, Tim Fitzpatrick (Coast Guard Athletics Director), later in the show.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

The Division III men's and women's national tournaments are set, teams are where they need to be, and practices underway. Now, it's just a matter of tipping off the games.

But before we tip them off, we need some final thoughts.

Tune in Thursday night to Hoopsville where Dave will talk to a number of guests about their programs and their chances in the NCAA tournament. You can't starting heading down the Road to Rochester or the Road to Salem without getting an idea of who may be joining you, either. Dave will give some insight on how some of the pods just may shake out as well.

Also, earlier in the day, Dave talked with Women's Basketball Nationall Committee chair Bobbi Morgan (also head coach at Haverford) and asked her a lot about the selection process and bracketing for this year's tournament. You can hear that special podcast here: http://bit.ly/2GUbfE0

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

With so much parity, especially in men's basketball, unexpected outcomes where to be ... expected. However, that doesn't prepare anyone for the number of upsets, who was upset, and how.

Sunday night on Hoopsville, Dave tries to breakdown the opening weekend not only looking back at some of the crazier finishes, but also talking to programs who escaped the wrath. Programs who are dancing on to the second weekend and hoping to punch their ticket to a championship weekend.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCANABC Studio. You can watch Sunday episode LIVE starting at 7:00 p.m. ET here: http://bit.ly/2FbY54R.

I usually listen to it in podcast form, but don't have much going on tonight so watching live... I always am jealous of your D3 hoops memorabilia in your broadcast room!

Ha, thanks Smitty. We love what people have contributed or we have collected over the years. We have a few things to add, actually. Also have to re do it to show off more.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

The Sectional Round games are here. Soon 16 teams on both the men's and women's brackets will be whittled to eight ... and before we know it just four will remain.

Who will advance, who will fall short of the final weekend, and who is best prepared? Hard to answer all of those questions, but on Thursday's edition of Hoopsville Dave will have plenty of guests who will give us their insight on their programs.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

The Road to Rochester and Salem are nearly complete. Only thing left is to actually hit the road and get the teams, media, fans, and others to their respective championships.

It was a thrilling and, maybe, shocking Sectionals Weekend in Division III. For the women, quite a few exciting games, but four of the top five teams in the country advanced to the Championship Weekend.

Not so much on the men's side. Only one ranked team is headed to Salem. Two weren't even receiving votes in the last Top 25 poll. And two have never been to the final four. Only one host got out of their own gym by cutting down their own nets. It was crazy.

On Sunday night's episode of Hoopsville, Dave and guests try and break down what happened this weekend and what we might be able to expect in Rochester and Salem. Who came up big, who had the bounces go their way, and more. Guests from four of the eight teams will also discuss their roads and initial thoughts on knowing they are two wins away from a national championship.

Hey fans! It has taken about a month longer than I thought it would, but we plan on starting up an off-season, monthly, Hoopsville podcast later this week. We have a few guests lined up and a couple of topics to discuss. So, stay tuned.

After this week, we hope to get a podcast out each month (around mid-month) between now and November. Should give us a great chance to talk about coaching changes, previews of what to expect next season, and more.

Just an FYI - these shows will be audio-only during the off-season. If you have not signed up to get our podcast via SoundCloud, Apple Podcast, or Google Play, click the links below:

SoundCloud: www.soundcloud.com/hoopsville



If you have ideas or think there are things we should take some time out of our summer to look at, let us know. I cannot make any promises we will cover everything, but we welcome ideas for sure.

Also, we have a new idea on how fans of the show can help give back to keep our efforts going ... more on that to come.
