Is it possible to round up a few for a bracket challenge here?

With as barren as this board usually is, I doubt it. But I'm game if people decide to show up.

For the first time since 2008, Franklin wins the HCAC tournament.  :) ;D 8-)
73-54 final at Transylvania, Pioneers cut the lead to 7 with 5 1/2 minutes left but Franklin finishes on 19-7 run.

No national tournament this year, but maybe we can get some regional stuff, get a few teams together and have a fun little postseason or something.

Franklin  ill talk mens basketball with you.     Unlike the woman the men are loaded in depth. The only question can they overcome losing Mcgee which i think they can they had a stellar freshman  class last year and i have heard this class is along the same lines and they also get back Vuk Dujuric who didnt play last season due to covid

Baldini

Conference play kicks off this evening and all 3 games should be evenly matched games.

Anderson travels to play Hanover in a game that might show who the early favorite is in the HCAC. Franklin travels to Lexington to play Transylvania in what appears to be a toss up game and is the game I will be at. Manchester @ Defiance is another even game between teams that didn't get a lot of love in the pre-season coaches poll.

Bluffton hosts Kalamazoo, Earlham @ North Park and Rose-Holman @ Wabash are non conference games that round out the HCAC schedule for the evening. Should be a fun night of games. 

Baldini

What a great win for Franklin, what a tough loss for Transylvania. The Pioneers had a 5 point lead with under a minute to play and gave it up, than had a 4 point lead in OT and coughed that up also to get bet 91-90. Mitch O'Mara hit the game winner with 1 second remaining in OT after Brandon Cromwell completed a 3 point play to give Transylvania the lead with only 5 seconds to play. Transylvania squad did not sleep well after letting that one get away last night.

Rose withstood being down 1 starter and1 key bench due to Covid for the win against mount  st joe

I want to give congrats to DC for their 3-0 start in conference action!  The big win against Hanover was great to watch over the weekend.  Keep up the hard work, DC!

It is Monday and you should try and spend your afternoon tuned into to Hoopsville!



One month. That's all that's left in the DIII regular season. It doesn't seem that long ago when the holidays marked an early half-way point and there was still lots to figure out and games to enjoy watching.

There are still lots of games still to enjoy and there is plenty to still figure out. However, just a month remains before the regular season is over and the two 64-team NCAA Tournaments will be set.

Time is running out.

On this midday edition of Hoopsville (due to schedule conflicts), we focus our attention on Regions 1 & 2 (combined), 4, 6, and 8 (the old Northeast, Atlantic, South, and Central) to talk to programs still jockeying for home court advantage in their conference playoffs or to make sure they get into the NCAAs no matter the avenue.

Guests include:
- Rodney Rogan, Rhodes women's coach
- Jon Miller, Hanover men's coach
- Top 25 Men's Double-Take
- Steven Schulman, Lehman men's coach
- Craig Dagan, Maine Maritime women's coach

Hoopsville airs LIVE 1:00 PM ET: www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2021-22/jan31 (you can also watch the show On Demand or listen to the podcast after the show goes off the air).
Host of Hoopsville. USBWA Executive Board member. Broadcast Director for D3sports.com. Broadcaster for NCAA.com & several colleges. PA Announcer for Gophers & Brigade. Follow me on Twitter: @davemchugh or @d3hoopsville.

First regional rankings with actual rankings are out and the HCAC has 3 in... and they all proceeded to lose tonight. #5 Hanover loses at home 86-82 to Transylvania, #6 Anderson lost 65-42 at home to Rose-Hulman, and #9 Defiance lost 67-60 at Earlham. Are we trying to get everyone in the CCIW into the rankings?
