Bryce and Abby keep going back and forth on the D3hoops TotW, with Bryce getting her third nod this week.   Abby got her bid for a third selection off to a strong start with a 43-point performance (on 21-26 shooting in 29 minutes) against Schreiner last night.   That sets the school scoring record (4th in SCAC history; Micah Weaver had 42 for TU last year) and set the conference record for most shots made (old record, 19).   If Abby had gotten more than 3 FTs she might have put the all-time SCAC scoring record (47, Julie Colantoni, Oglethorpe, 2004) at risk. 

Edit:  updated with 43 points instead of 42.

Regional Rankings Week 2 released: https://www.d3hoops.com/notables/2019/02/women-regional-rankings-second

Posted this on the rankings board, can't see why Trinity passed AC, with everything being equal (records, h2h, RRO (3-3 AC vs 2-2 TU which you would think favors AC) and AC having a slight edge in OWP (.518 to .513).

Surprisingly, TLU lost to SW earlier this week after shooting 28% in the second half.   In their win against Trinity they shot 58% for the entire game.   SW can be dangerous when their C Cecily Woolfolk is on, as she was against TLU (27 points, 10-16 from the field, 10 boards before fouling out late).  She's tall enough (6'), big and strong; if you let her get position and don't bring some help quickly can be very effective.

I didn't see the TLU/SW game but re: Cecily, one thing I found interesting... I checked in on that one about midway through, and saw she had scored 24 of their first 36 points (!!!). I was shocked to see they had come back from about 9 or 10 down to win with her only scoring three points the rest of the way. That's nuts!

Ugly game between TLU and AC tonight, in which AC emerges with a 59-52 overtime win. Bryce Frank made some history - broke the career record for double-doubles tonight and moved into the top 10 in scoring in SCAC history. She's also closing in on 1,000 career rebounds with a shot at getting into the top 3 in conference history.

Playing their second road game in as many days, Austin lost a close one to a Southwestern team playing its best ball of the season (winners of 5 in last 6), so the seeds for the SCAC tournament are set:

1. Trinity (21-4 / 14-2 SCAC)
plays winner of 4. Southwestern  (12-13 / 11-5) vs. 5. Colorado College (11-13 / 8-8)

2.  Austin (20-5 / 13-3 SCAC)
plays winner of 3. TLU (16-9 / 12-4) vs 6. Schreiner* (6-19 / 6-10)

TU/SW/CC winner plays AC/TLU/Schreiner* winner for championship.

* - tied with Centenary (1-1 H2H); have them here because Centenary game article said the Ladies' season was finished

Was at Trinity's final game of the season against UDallas; not sure the cause, but Dallas only had six  dressed despite 14 players being listed on the roster.  Making matters worse, a player was injured late in the game so the Crusaders went with five the rest of the way.  The team photo only shows eight players; 17 women saw playing time this season, but only 8 were in more than 10 games.   Hope that program can get things turned around.

Disappointing end of the season for Austin College, but some pretty historic stuff for Bryce Frank. She got her 1,000th career rebound, broke the SCAC records for most double-doubles in a season and a career, and moved into the top 10 in league history in scoring.

There are just days left in the regular season and conference tournaments are in full throat. And those vying to get into the NCAA Tournament are already sitting on the proverbial "bubble."

There are two ways to keep dancing in March, either win the conference automatic qualifier (i.e. tournament in most cases) or hope one's resume is good enough to be selected. However, with upsets in conference tournaments come some nervous times for those needing the at-large avenue.

Some teams are already on the bubble, but are they in trouble?

On Thursday's Hoopsville, Dave brings in guests who either have already lost or may need to win. We also enjoy the thrill of victory. And hear from a coach in charge of off-season workouts and practices at her institution. What goes into such a job as most teams start to make the transition to next season.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Thursday's show can be seen LIVE starting at 7:00 p.m. ET right here: http://bit.ly/2NhkfYn (or via Facebook Live and Periscope simulcasts).

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 dave.mchugh@d3sports.com or use any of the social media options to the right.

Guests Schedule (order subject to change):
- Cameron Hill, Trinity (Texas) women's coach
- Kristin Karat, Cedar Crest women's coach & Assistant Director for Athletic Performance (WBCA Center Court)
- Jeff Brown, Middlebury men's coach

Barring something unusual looks like Austin is well on its way to setting up the rubber match with Trinity for the conference championship, but Trinity will need a better performance tomorrow than today to beat the 'Roos.   It took Abby Holland setting SCAC championship single-game records in points (38) and field goals (15) to come from behind against Colorado.  Only two other TU players converted FGs and they missed over half of their free throws.

Something unusual - big comeback by TLU who win by 4.  Congratulations to Bryce Frank on an outstanding career.

No doubt. Once the threes started falling in the fourth for TLU, the crowd 100% played a role. Big part of the shift in the momentum.

The box said there were close to 800 in attendance today; I'll be surprised if it's not over 1000 tomorrow.

Just like the last time they played, Trinity got off to a dreadful start, trailed by double digits at halftime, and the comeback fell short with TLU clinching the SCAC championship and the resulting bid 68-62.   Abby Holland had 19 (on 24 shots!) and 12 boards to lead Trinity, who shot a woeful 33% to TLU's 47%.  Trinity again missed over half their free throws (9-20).   This loss in all probability ends TU's season.   

Attendance was 954.
