When did Amherst have a 122 game winning streak? 

NEHoopsFan

Based on their website it was 121 game winning streak.

Home Winning Streak --- 121 Games (NCAA Record)
Started: Jan. 31, 2009 (Amherst def. Colby, 65-64)
Ended: Feb. 6, 2016 (Tufts def. Amherst, 52-51)

Actually, I take that back. That was their home winning streak.  Apparently their most recent run was their longest winning streak (68 games I think).  According to ESPN the longest streak is 81 games

Division III
Men -- 60, Potsdam State (season opener 1985-March 17, 1987)
Women -- 81, Washington-St. Louis (Feb. 20, 1998-Jan. 12 2001)

In any case....the Amherst team blew out a taller  Emmanuel team in Boston last night.  Starting a new streak...hopefully.  The returning starters got their mojo back and did it with defense and more balanced team scoring....H. Fox was the exception here by scoring 33 pts :)
Key Head Coach move, IMO, was putting Sr. PG McNamara into the game to take the load off of Fox.  "Mac" set a new assist record...for herself and at Amherst. 
It should be noted that two key players are just getting their BB "Feel" back as both are key players on their Fall sports teams.  H. Fox Is also a key contributor on another team...the Lax team.
Liked the way HC G. was clapping his hands as his players were making steals and defensive stops.  Rarely seen in games I have observed.

The Division III basketball season is nearly a month along. We have reached the first quarter pole of the season to evaluate where everyone is and where teams are headed. There have been plenty of surprises, upsets, teams stubbing their toes, and more. There are also some who are doing well despite maybe not being fully saddled when they left the gate.

On Thursday's edition of Hoopsville, Dave takes a look at three programs which had very late coaching decisions and how those decisions have affected the programs. Two teams, Salisbury men and Trine women, saw their coaches suspended and then fired in the month leading up to their first games. Another, Brandeis men, saw their coach make national headlines, be fired, an interim hired, but then that decision reversed and a new coach hired just two weeks before practices began.

All three, are off to terrific starts accounting for a total of two losses on the season so far.

What is it like to adjust to a last minute coaching change? What is it like to take over a program, or enter an athletic department and school, in such perceived turmoil? How hard is it to put the blinders on and focus at the task at hand? We follow up Ryan Scott's terrific story last week with a chat with two players and a coach on the experience of dealing with change.

Plus, after years of waiting it finally happened! Division III women's basketball is getting it's own All-Star Game! Williams' coach Pat Manning discusses the long journey to the announcement, how they found a sponsor, and why the game will be the center piece of changing the women's Championship Weekend altogether.

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/2E4YCb4.

It's been awhile...for me :)....since my last post here.  Anyway, Amherst completed their four game road trip during semester break today.  Two wins in Las Vegas and two wins in Orange County Ca. There was a NBA Lakers game outing in between.  Amherst's two all-American candidate junior guards performed well.  Hannah Fox who set a Amherst's scoring record of 43 points in Vegas in a win was followed by 30 point game in a win over host Chapman today by Madeline Eck.
First Nescac game this Friday with Trinity in Hartford.  Line up seems to be settling in...three juniors and two seniors.  One Soph and 5 FYs are the subs....with a FY "big" coming in for a taller lineup.

Congrats to GP.  He's the epitome of "Coaching matters!"

Amherst wins in a surprising blowout of a solid Trinity team in Hartford.  Both teams had 10-1 records entering the game and now Amherst is 11-1..71 to 49 Victory.  Not much more to say.

Not surprised. Trinity's recorded is deceiving since they play a very weak non league schedule.

Game of the day today clearly is #1 Bowdoin at #4 Tufts. This game will be a good benchmark for Tufts--are the young Jumbos (only 1 senior starter) overachieving despite graduating 2 key starters or simply rebuilding? Bowdoin defeated Tufts decisively in both the regular season and elite eight last year.  Neither team has been tested this year. The only common opponent was Colby, which Bowdoin defeated by 30 early in the season and Tufts beat by 17 last night.  Bowdoin is averaging 86.6 points a game and shooting an amazing 48% from the field while the Jumbos are an equally impressive 83 ppg and 48%.  Should be a good one!

To keep it in perspective, Bowdoin graduated 3 key seniors from last year's national runner up team, including D3 POY Kate Kerrigan.  Looks like Bowdoin pulled away in the 4th quarter during what had been a close game...

Milestones, upsets, underdogs, under the radar, and giving back ... that's what's on tap for Sunday's Hoopsville.

While in the conference grind, there are always results people don't expect. Whether an upset or a team flying under the radar finally pops up on everyone's radar, there are games and teams worth paying attention to outside the usual suspects. But even the top teams in the country have a story to tell.

On Sunday's episode, we will learn what it's like to be on the top team in the country, how a team can still fly under the radar with big results in on a difficult conference, how another team has emerged that no one was expecting on top of another competitive conference, how one of the top conferences in the county ticks and how the races there may turn out, and the importance of giving back to the community especially in honor of one of the country's greatest leaders.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Sunday's show will air live starting at 7:00 p.m. ET here: http://bit.ly/2HoPIZf (and simulcast on Facebook Live and Periscope).

Oh ... and the show is definitely going to see some "overtime" tonight.

Yesterday, Amherst traveled to Middletown and won against a big Cardinals team.  Amherst has had problems against teams with a big front line.  Amherst seemed to be in a match-up zone defensive scheme for a long time.  Everyone on an eleven player team got minutes.  Seems there is a 6'1" FY guard contributing big time....been hitting 3-points at a high % in the last few games...and playing solid defense on the perimeter.  Amherst FY front line players contributing offensively and defensively.

Seemed like Wesleyan's zone defense gave them fits for a while.  Good thing the 3's started falling, because they didn't get inside with any regularity.  I'm sure coach will be working on that.  Big weekends ahead.
