2019-20 Pre-season Coaches Poll.  No big surprises, although I did expect Smith to be higher. Strange they are in 6th place and received one first place vote.

1) Springfield (5)
2) Babson (5)
3) MIT
4) Emerson
5) WPI
6) Smith (1)
7) Wellesley
8) Clark

I wasn't able to catch the game, but that is a strong weekend or Wheaton Mass.  Going 2-0, and averaging 11 points higher (71 pts/game) than last year (60).  Looking at their roster, they graduated 1 player.  So they should compete fairly well this year.  The NEWMAC should be a tough conference. 

With the change in scheduling this year, it will be interesting to watch.  They play each team within the conference only once, so you have to bring your A game for those conference games. In the past, they played some teams twice, but I guess that was seen as unfair advantage depending upon which teams you played twice.

Conference games will be much more valuable this year.....

The break for the holidays always has plenty of games to enjoy. It also has it's handful of results that make one scratch their head or an upset to enjoy. This holiday "season" saw plenty of all of that. Top 25 teams were not safe. Nearly all seemed to lose. There were results every day that made Division III coaches, fans, and many others take note.

Sunday night Hoopsville returns to the air from the holidays with plenty to talk about, but not enough time. We chat with teams that impressed, got a big win, continue to stay unscathed, and may end up in the new Top 25 polls. We also try and read the Top 25 tea leaves to figure out how voters may fill out their ballots on Monday (hint: it might be anyone's guess).

While we try and cover all Division III basketball news, now that we have entered January we split up the regions to cover as many teams as possible each week. Sundays the regions are Atlantic, Central, Northeast, and South.

Smith has taken their first loss of the season, as Springfield wins the NEWMAC opener, 54-50, and sends the kids attending the game in Blake Arena home happy on Springfield's annual Elementary School Day at the game.  Another band from one of Springfield's schools provided the entertainment today.

I was watching the video stream, as this game was a defensive slugfest throughout, with Smith leading until the middle of the fourth quarter.  I believe that the final score was Springfield's biggest lead of the contest.

Smith drops to 12-1, 0-1 in NEWMAC play. 

PS-- What George Fox did with their very young team in 2008-09 is probably improbable to be duplicated and this NEWMAC opener is one of the reasons why this will be the case.  Congrats to Smith, though, on their program best 12-0 start with a young tean.

On the bright side for Smith, that game doesn't appear to count towards conference standings.  This year the NEWMAC will only be counting 1 game against each conference opponent in the standings.  The rematch will be at Smith on Feb 5th.  It will be interesting to see if Smith can make any adjustments to slow down Alex Goslin who is having a great start to the season.

I really liked the play and energy of Alex Goslin when I saw her as a rising senior in AAU; if I were a college coach, Alex is one that I'd want to play for me.

There are six weeks left in the regular season, but the grind of conference schedules can make it feel like the end is a long ways off.

As teams try and focus on each game in front of them, the ramifications of each outcome grow larger and larger. Conference tournament seeding (or even participating), at-large hopes, and to a larger degree opportunities to be home in March with the hopes of a national championship as the goal.

Thursday on Hoopsville, we chat with a few programs that are on top of their conference races (or were), but the standing could change in just one game. We chat about how teams deal with being everyone's target or how to survive the grind.

Plus, relationships with a program's alumni can go a long way to how successful the program becomes and even the institution on a larger scale. In this week's WBCA Center Court, MIT coach Sonia Raman discusses what prompted her to get alums more involved and how it has resulted in a significant increase in contributions as well.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch Thursday's show LIVE starting at 7:00 pm ET in the following ways:
