Dave knows this stuff way better than I do, but I don't think this round includes wins against regionally ranked opponents. So Swarthmore's win over Middlebury wouldn't have been part of the discussion.

The committee is probably splitting hairs with those two in the first week. Equal losses, equal SOS (Lyco - .512; Swat: .514) and on a quick glance I see only one comparable games (Hood, both won easily, though 2nd win tighter for Lyco)...

Next week when vRRO is put into this conversation, Lyco isn't going to be able to stay ahead of Swarthmore. The simple fact is Lyco will be 1-0 in that category and Swarthmore will be 2-2 (with a JHU game to add for this week).

Again. They are probably even. It doesn't appear they looked at Non-Conference SOS where Swarthmore has a large advantage... but that also speaks to the fact that the MAC Commonwealth has a strong conference SOS than the Centennial. It starts going in circles.

New bleachers are set to come to Salisbury's Maggs Gym in May; SU Athletics leadership has started a community petition to make a new indoor facility a 'top priority.' I sat down with SU Athletics Director Dr. Gerry DiBartolo to discuss it all.

With all the new buildings they've put up down there, there can't be much more they need to do besides a new athletic facility, right?

State school... state budgets... that said, they have been making a lot of changes to athletic facilities. I am sure the gym is on the list and will be done, but it also has the biggest impact on offices, infrastructure, etc. Just ask NYU about that impact. :)

The regional rankings should be interesting this week...JH might take the #1 spot from York, and I'm hoping CNU moves up a spot or two, but not sure that will happen based on the results and SOS of the teams ahead of them.

The NCAA men's basketball regional advisory committees released their third set of rankings, and as expected, the Atlantic Region was among those getting shuffled. Here's the full list: http://www.d3hoops.com/notables/2018/02/men-regional-rankings-third

Those first 6 teams are basically even at this point.  You could make arguments for just about any order.

Yep, they're pretty close...if CNU can take care of business, they'd likely be the #1 seed in the MA, but first things first.

The basketball season now finds itself square in the middle of not only the holidays, but also finals. Teams are taking breaks to focus on academics and either not playing until the new year or finding openings to fit in games here and there.

And while the tempo of games subsides a bit, there is still plenty of news swirling around Division III. Tune in as Dave and guests tackle all of the news this week in what should be a jam-packed Hoopsville on Thursday night.

Topics will include the latest news of two Capital Athletic Conference members announcing they are leaving for other conference homes. What is next for the CAC which will be down to just three members by 2021-22 season. The rumors about St. Thomas's future continue to swirl, we at least try and put some of those rumors to rest. And a MIAC president finally speaks out about the decision to push UST out the door. Maybe he should have not said anything.

Plus, there is a new number one team in women's basketball, a team that nearly completed an undefeated season has reemerged, another former champion is showing they may be back in the hunt, and a program we haven't talked about in a long time has made it known they are ready for the season.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch Thursday's show LIVE with the following options:
