Something innately depressing about D3 WBB : there are something like 434 WBB programs and if player talent and coaching were always evenly distributed among them, any given school could expect to win the national championship once very 434 years, reaching the final game once every 217 years.
By contrast, a 30-team league like the NBA could allow a team's fan to reasonably expect a Finals appearance once every 15 years and a championship once very 30 years.

What's to be made then of the Warriors who drafted their main core (Durant was added to it after they had already won a championship) and won a championship after developing their core? They are now a team that people are surprised if they ever lose a game, and thats happening in the NBA. I come in peace, just wondering about your thoughts there?

I was just thinking how there really isn't much of an expectation for a fanbase that belongs to say, the Hornets, to win a championship any time soon even though they play in the 30-team NBA.

It is actually even worse than that. Huge disparities among those 434 different institutions - mostly academic prestige, location, mission, and most importantly, financial aid - means that in any given year, there are literally only a dozen or so teams with anything resembling a chance to make the Final Four, and only 2 or three with a prayer of winning a championship. The cruelest number is Zero, which is the percent-chance that about 400 of those teams will ever win a national championship.
There is more parity at the top than I thought, however. I just checked and the last 21 national titles have been won by 13 schools and 11 conferences. The numbers are probably worse in Division I, especially women's basketball.

Good points, Enginerd.
To respond to duckfan41, the Warriors were fairly poor as recently as 2011-12 with a .348 win pct and .317 in 2009-10.
It was mentioned how smartly the Warriors drafted recently; D3 WBB would be a bit different if it had an annual draft, with crummy teams getting the best freshmen. Is the NCAA going to arrange something like that? Not quite.

Oh of course! For that very reason i was just pointing out that the comparison between D3 Women's basketball and the NBA might not be fair, since the parity in the NBA itself hasn't been great as of late. I just felt a tug to give my two cents for some reason. You made all valid points!

I'd have to admit that no D3 team is prohibited from bringing in a large crop of outstanding freshmen, although it's extraordinarily difficult for most/hundreds of them to do so.

Just watch St. Joe's (Conn.) men this year ... oh wait, that might be a different kind of example. LOL

The 2018-19 season is officially underway and so is Hoopsville. While normally Dave McHugh would be coming to you live from the WBCA/NABC Studio, with the tip-off of the season also comes with it basketball games for Dave.

Thursday's show is a pre-taped preview of the upcoming season. Can either of the preseason number one teams stay on top the entire season? How many teams have a legitamate chance of playing for a national title? Who could possibly be sleepers or surprise? What games should fans be watching early on to get a sense of the season ahead?

The answers to those questions are completely different if you are talking men's or women's basketball. So, on Thursday's show Dave brings in colleagues to give the answers. Gordon Mann and Ryan Scott lend their opinions and insight on the season ahead.

Also, one of the more surprising coaching developments in the last year was the fact Hall of Fame, and former UConn, coach Jim Calhoun was throwing his hat in the DIII ring. We chat with him about why he decided to lead the St. Joseph's (Conn.) program and what to expect out of it's first season.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Thursday's edition will be available at 7:00 p.m. ET here: http://bit.ly/2qBF3Pz

The season is kind of, sort of, possibly underway in Division III. With the earlier start being decided less than ten months prior, not every program was able to take advantage of the new date. There are still teams who haven't tipped off their seasons while others have already played two or three games this season.

That doesn't mean we can't find topics to talk about on Hoopsville!

Sunday, Dave is back live in studio with plenty of DIII conversation. Plus coaches talk about (high) expectations and being in charge of a program for the first time. Can St. Thomas women take the next step as a program? How will MIT's season be engineered? And from All-American to head coach, what it's like to take over a program for the first time.

Plus, the winningest men's coach in Division III history will not start the season on the bench. More on what has lead Glenn Robinson to take a medical leave of absence.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Sunday's show will hit the air at 7:00 p.m. ET and be watched here: http://bit.ly/2PPm16G. If you miss the show, you can always watch it On Demand. An audio-only podcast will also be available on the right side of the page (available shortly after the show goes off air).

Long road ahead for Thomas More

It's going to be a long road ahead for Thomas More, writes Ryan Scott, while Whitman brought back a ton of talent from last year's team and has to somehow find playing time for even more people! Check it out in this week's Around the Nation.

The season is a week old. There have been some interest results and certainly some early upsets, but the bulk of games really gets going in earnest now.

On Thursday's episode of Hoopsville, Dave chats with a couple of programs who are getting some national attention, but not everyone may know who they are. One features an All-America selection. The other have plenty of options to give any defense fits.

But not all the news is positive, Dave also breaks down the Fitchburg State incident in their game against Nichols.

Thursday's show also features Karin Harvey, Montclair State women's coach and chair of the National Women's Basketball Committee. Harvey is entering her third year on the national committee, but first as chair. The conversation will encompass what, if any, changes fans and others should expect from the Regional Ranking and national tournament process.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Thursday's edition will air starting at 7:00 pm.m ET here: http://bit.ly/2qNG3Ag.

Happy Turkey Day, everyone. I wasn't going to post another update until the final report on Sunday, but decided to splurge. 20 of these 48 teams have completed all of their games before the next poll.

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh



'Tis the season of ... upsets? There have been plenty. 13 of the D3hoops.com Men's Preseason Top 25 have lost and even the women have seen some shockers (Eastern Connecticut over Amherst!). So, I guess there are many teams thankful this time of year?

Sunday on Hoopsville, Dave recaps a wacky few weeks of basketball and previews what could be very topsy-turvy first in-season Top 25s. Dave also welcomes one of the teams which pulled off one of the larger upsets in the last week, Loras, who defeated No. 3 Augustana.

Division III also hears from the new men's basketball committee chair for the first time this season. Gallaudet Associate Athletic Director for Communications Sam Atkinson joins Dave in studio live to talk about the new-look national committee, how the work has evolved not only over the years but also the last few months, and take questions from viewers.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Sunday's show hits the air at 7:00 p.m. ET. You can watch the show here: http://bit.ly/2RdmAom
