WBB: Landmark Conference

[Rofrog]

To the person that complains!Remeber what you said OH Give Trevor time!Well my friend I say the same to you Give Nick time!

[saratoga]

Ro:

I'm guessing your last comment was a not so subtile one directed at me.

Not sure who isn't giving the new coach "time".

You need to be able to differentiate between a critique of style of play and harping on a coach.

I don't think a single person here has said a negative thing about the new Lady Royal's coach, we all want both he & the team to be successful.

On the other hand, it's probably a good time to stop taking jabs at Trevor.

Not sure what your ongoing beef with him is but he was only the most successful coach in Lady Royal history over a four year span & one of the best in all of D-III...bar none.

I told you earlier this year when he took the job at Bucknell which had just lost 4 starters...give him 2 years and they'll be right back on top.

That still stands.

[Rofrog]

Trevor did great because of Strong leaving him great players! Yes 2 years give this coach 2 years to get players he recruited and by the looks of it he is not doing to bad on recruiting.Two different styles of basketball just think it is also luck not only coaching or players but luck if that girl from CNU hits them 2 ft game is over and they move on So it is not all Trevor I mean the guy-if he was that great he would be offered a great d1 job not bucknell.Many superb D1 around and I wouldnt consider Bucknell that superb.I understand you love Trevor well I dont and personally glad he is gone and so are some parents!

Every off-season has it's headlines and surprising news. This past off-season seemed to have a few extra more surprising results. While we are nearly a month into the new season, decisions in the off-season are continuing to make waves throughout Division III.

On Sunday's Hoopsville, Dave chats with a couple of coaches whose programs are dealing with some of the decisions made. Scranton women's basketball may have surprised some by hiring a coach from Division I - bucking a trend of hiring those who know the Royals program (to some degree). And St. Thomas men's basketball is trying to stay focused on the job at hand - this season - while moves have already been made to not only push the Tommies out of the MIAC, but possibly move them out of DIII altogether.

Plus, the Top 25s once again continue to be ... unsettled. We take a look at another turbulent week for ranked teams. Bob Quillman joins Dave for the Top 25 Double-Take.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch Sunday's show LIVE starting at 7:00 PM ET here: www.d3hoopsville.com, www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville, or https://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2019-20/dec1 (http://bit.ly/2qaEXlB). You can also watch on (and interact) on the Facebook and YouTube simulcasts.

Great win Coach and Lady Royals!Beating Desales at Desales 23 home game  winning streak by 13 pts .Maybe just maybe you dont show your full cards all the time.That is all I will say Merry Christmas and Happy New Years !!!!Great WIN COACH DIPILLO AND LADY ROYALS GREAT DEFENSE ALSO !!!!

[Rofrog]

Shocker Amherst lost !!!

[Tim the Enchanter]

It was a good road victory tonight for the Lady Royals against top-ten ranked DeSales, holding them to 48 points (well below their season average of 72).  Whatever DiPillo said at halftime worked, turning a close contest and opening up a sizable lead with a 15-1 run to start the third quarter.  They were a little sloppy on offense in the 4th and could have used better ball movement and taken more time off the shot clock to get better shots, but they kept the pressure up on the defensive end and didn't allow DeSales to get closer than 9.

[Rofrog]

Does anyone have problems listening to hoopsville?I'm not getting the sound,I get the video no sound?

[ronk]

 No problem with audio; there was an unmute button in the middle of the screen that I clicked first.

[ronk]

 Lady Royals do it with defense. Not a pretty game to watch with all the turnovers. DeSales with only 5 assists. Fr PG is bailing them out, although Lily may have had a career game, too.

[gordonmann]

So will Scranton hop over Tufts for No. 1?

[Rofrog]

I would say yes but who knows!!Beat the 8/9 team in the nation by 11 on Desales home court!!!They havent lost in 23 home games pretty impressive! Gordon you are one voter what is your thought?

[ronk]

 Probably a tossup at this point; if Scranton can stay #2 til the NCAA tourney(hosting considerations), I'll be happy.

[saratoga]

I've always felt an ugly win on the road is much better than a pretty loss.

That said, it's painfully obvious that this is a team still trying to figure things out offensively.

Thank God their defense keeps them in games even when the kids are struggling with their shot.

As a team, the new style they are being asked to play is creating confusion right now as to discerning what's a bad shot, a good shot or a better shot.

Last evening 3 players took 29 shots & only made 4 of them.

Conversely, two players (inclusive of the projected All-American) only took 16 shots but they made 11 of them.

In the entire 4th. quarter, I believe she only took one shot.

When she shoots 82% from the line, you need some action that gets the ball in her hands driving to the basket.

Hopefully, it will come together.

Great to see Sophia play tough at both ends of the floor.

Again, early season, on the road, top 10 team, you play a milquetoast kind of game & still win by double digits...take it every time.

So I had sometime on my hands so i went back to 2015-16 and today's stats exactly to the date 12/3.This is what i found out to date and this is not my stats this is NCAA stats.Start with this year scoring offense 46 out of 450,scoring defense 66th out of 450,Field goal percentage defense 15th out of 450,Fg percentage 83rd out of 450,3pt fg per game 21st out of 450,Ft per 309 out of 450 and finally scoring margin 28th.Now Trevor's first year same date 12/3 scoring offense 133rd out of 420,scoring defense 63rd out of 420,Fg percentage defense 174th out of 420,Fg percentage 12th out of 420,3pt fg per game 239th out of 420,3pt per percentage 81st out of 420,Free throw percentage 13th out of 420 and finally scoring margin 61st out of 420.So I think Coach Dipillo is doing okay and I didn't realize that d3women went up from 420 to 450 is that true?
