Johnson State is rolling after upsetting Castleton last week. They have won 5 in a row and if they beat Elms and Becker this weekend they will clinch 2nd in the west!!!! Cladia Martineau has been Rookie of the week 4 times and Player of the week once. She is really coming in to her own. 5th in scoring ave. 15.3Pts/ game!!!  Jenna Lewis is 2nd in 3pt Percentage at .404. Scoring 11.8 Pts per game.  12-11 after tonights beating of 15-3 Lyndon State. This team is peaking at the right time.

[Pat Coleman]

Good time to make a run at the automatic bid.

Does it make sense to anyone else how MMA can be ranked higher than Farmington even though Farmington has beat them twice?  Yes I know UMF has one more loss but last time I checked MMA never played USM this year.  I don't know it doesn't make any sense to me.

Congrats to Becker College Womens Basketball on a heck of a week and winning the NAC championship. Coach Godin and Coach Thomas got those ladies working hard and they peeked right at the right time. Good luck in the NCAA's Dean.

Maine Maritime Academy head coach, Craig Dagan is pleased with his team's prospects for the 2011-2012 season. Coming off of a 17-10 season, the Mariners are loaded with experience and leadership. Now they have their sights set on the squad's first North Atlantic Conference championship since 2005...

Not a coaching change, but an AD change.

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).
