For WIAC and Division III new challenge replay rule seems like it won't translate to Division III. Not good enough cameras and and we'll just stay with the voluntary use by officials, 2 vs 3 and F1 vs F2 etc.

6'0 G Isiah Robinson from D2 runner up Racine Park committed to UW-Whitewater this week.

Stout's full men's schedule is here.  Non cons vs Oak Hills, at Macalester, vs Maranatha, at Calvin, at Hamline, at IWU, vs UW-Superior, vs North Central, at Saint Mary's, at UW-Oshkosh Arena Tournament x2.

Also an exhibition at Michigan Tech in there.

Sad Stout has to take non Division III NCCAA Oak Hills as the 11th game to open the season. Now they already have two, but surely one of the other five UMAC's must need a game with Northland closing.

Also looks like the Oshkosh Arena tournament will move up the 28th and 29th of December this year after being on the 29th and 30th from the beginning.

Well, whatever hosting issues Whitewater had this weekend have been solved.

Oshkosh at Whitewater coming up next Friday and Saturday.

Outside of California and Texas pods just getting going it appears La Crosse and Oshkosh are going be the only teams forced to game 7.

Whitewater rolls through the Adrian, Michigan regional 3-0 and 4-1 today over Adrian in 2:15.

Now will Whitewater actually be able to host the St. Peter regional survivor, that's the big question.

Quote from: Pat Coleman on May 14, 2025, 03:17:04 PMGreat question -- could be that staffing at the university has changed, or that the university's requirements around graduation have changed. In addition, for most of the previous years, hosting of the first weekend in Division III baseball has been a pre-determined thing, and planned around.

Interesting because they've hosted regionals on this weekend three times since format change in 2019, 2022, and 2024.

The only thing I can reason is so there are an even 7 Saturday and 7 Wednesday game dates.

But, I don't like reason anyway. Because the option could be 8 Saturday's and 6 Wednesday's.

Either way it's uneven. 7 home games and 7 home games no matter how you slice it.

UW-Stout released their MBB and WBB conference schedules. So, you can start planning your January and February Wednesday's and Saturday's.

Same format again with all WIAC bye Saturday January 31.

Same thing crossed my mind... Figured it was a sure thing that Whitewater would be hosting next weekend.

And all the teams in the pod are within the 500 miles of Whitewater, so it's very confusing.

Just wondering, is this the year that women get preferential treatment in hosting the 1st weekend?
UWW softball?

Whitewatee Softball is on the road as well... They are traveling to Ohio.

Baseball and softball teams from the same school can host both this weekend. As you'll see there are multiple schools hosting both.

Missed this from a week ago, but 6'5 G Jacob Butler from Minneapolis and UW-River Falls committed to UW-La Crosse for his final season.

I certainly still consider Whitewater the favorite to win the tournament title tomorrow.

Even one win is a tall order for Oshkosh.
