Hoopsville

Time for a marathon! Thursday featured the 6th annual Hoopsville Marathon Show. This year's show, while slightly shorter, still featured coaches, alumni, administrators, and many others around Division III to help break down the season which only has about one month remaining before "March Madness."

Well, things certainly escalated quickly! Upsets a plenty. Conference races tightening. At the same time, some more clarity? Maybe not. There will be plenty to talk about on Sunday's Hoopsville. Join us as Dave and his guests work to figure out what has happened in just the last few days, plus get a sense of what's to come. We will talk to teams who are near the top of their conferences races in t...

Suddenly the end of January is upon us! Where has the season gone? We are past the halfway point, conference action is now in it's second go-around (for most), and the matter of regional rankings and conference tournaments is becoming more real. Teams who have had unbelievable starts, but have not faltered, are now in the spotlight. The question is no longer "can they keep this up?" But rather, th...

Milestones, upsets, underdogs, under the radar, and giving back ... that's what's on tap for Sunday's Hoopsville. While in the conference grind, there are always results people don't expect. Whether an upset or a team flying under the radar finally pops up on everyone's radar, there are games and teams worth paying attention to outside the usual suspects. But even the top teams in the country have...

The risk with basketball (and other sports) season? Weather. One or two storms can throw a monkey wrench into a well thought out schedule and travel plans. The same can be said about trying to play with within a conference. Programs know each other so well that games can suddenly become rockier than anyone thought looking at the matchup on paper. On Sunday's Hoopsville, Dave will take a look at th...

The grind of conference play is in full gear. Nothing beats a team up or reveals how good one is like the grind of conference play. Thursday night on Hoopsville we take a look at the grind and how teams are surviving, surprising, and even impressing as the holidays and the break quickly become a distant memory in the rear view mirror. The first of the season's "WBCA Center Court" segments also deb...

The holidays are over and for many Division III basketball teams, the conference schedules are already in full swing. It doesn't take much time before a casual break ramps up into high-pressure games. Hoopsville is also back from it's holiday "break" on Sunday evening. Dave tries to get caught up after a couple of weeks of action and wild results. Who impressed during the holidays? Who (re)started...

Finals are done. Teams are getting a break, short or long. Everyone is taking a moment to slow down, enjoy time with family (hopefully), and take a breather. That's what happens when the first semester comes to a close. Before long, the pressure will increase and games will be in full throat. This break will seem like a distant memory. In an ode to those leaving work, campus early for the holidays...

The first semester is coming to a close. With it comes an opportunity to look back and evaluate what we've seen throughout Division III basketball so far. Did we get any early Christmas gifts? Or did some teams get some coal? This is also the time of the year one starts to look around to see if any teams are flying a little under the radar. Off to good starts that maybe haven't been noticed or a b...

We've entered the part of the season when teams are either off the court for an extended period of time or they are still practicing and playing occasional games leading up to a break around Christmas. It is an odd time of the season. You look away one night and forget there is a big game happening. You try and focus in another night only to realize there isn't much to watch (if anything). Some sc...

There is plenty to distract this time of the season. Finals, holidays, even weather. Staying focused on each practice and game is just a bit more challenging in December. Sunday on Hoopsville, we chat about those distractions with teams that are helping shake up not only their conferences, but also the national landscape. However, how do they stay focused? Especially when expectations start to inc...

The Division III basketball season is nearly a month along. We have reached the first quarter pole of the season to evaluate where everyone is and where teams are headed. There have been plenty of surprises, upsets, teams stubbing their toes, and more. There are also some who are doing well despite maybe not being fully saddled when they left the gate. On Thursday's edition of Hoopsville, Dave tak...

The carnage continues! Ok, maybe some hyperbole there, but it doesn't take away from the fact nine men's Top 25 teams lost (account for 12 losses). Even the women are taking more losses this time of year than maybe we are used to from that Top 25 group. Five more took losses this past week, granted some were to other Top 25 opponents. What could the second Top 25 poll of the season look like when...

'Tis the season of ... upsets? There have been plenty. 14 of the D3hoops.com Men's Preseason Top 25 have lost and even the women have seen some shockers (Eastern Connecticut over Amherst!) with 12 of their 25 having lost. So, I guess there are many teams thankful this time of year? Sunday on Hoopsville, Dave recaps a wacky few weeks of basketball and previews what could be very topsy-turvy first i...

The first full weekend of Division III basketball did not disappoint. Upsets, close games, thrilling outcomes. There was a little of everything. Before you sit down to the Thanksgiving table this week, be sure to sit down with Hoopsville. Dave and guests not only recap the first incredible two weeks of the season, but also chat about the surprises and head-scratching items early on in the season....

The season is a week old. There have been some interest results and certainly some early upsets, but the bulk of games really gets going in earnest now. On Thursday's episode of Hoopsville, Dave chats with a couple of programs who are getting some national attention, but not everyone may know who they are. One features an All-America selection. The other have plenty of options to give any defense...

The season is kind of, sort of, possibly underway in Division III. With the earlier start being decided less than ten months prior, not every program was able to take advantage of the new date. There are still teams who haven't tipped off their seasons while others have already played two or three games this season. That doesn't mean we can't find topics to talk about on Hoopsville! Sunday, Dave i...

The 2018-19 season is officially underway and so is Hoopsville. While normally Dave McHugh would be coming to you live from the WBCA/NABC Studio, with the tip-off of the season also comes with it basketball games for Dave. Thursday's show is a pre-taped preview of the upcoming season. Can either of the preseason number one teams stay on top the entire season? How many teams have a legitimate chanc...

Welcome to the 2018-19 Division III basketball season! The season also gets tipped off a week earlier than normal as the new start is now November 8. With an earlier start date comes an earlier start (and more total shows) for Hoopsville as well. On the season debut of the 16th season of Hoopsville, Dave McHugh chats with the two preseason top picks, and defending champions, along with a coach who...

The 2017-18 season is now complete. Congratulations to Nebraska Wesleyan and Amherst on their Division III national championships! However, there is still some business to take care of ... we need to wrap up the season on Hoopsville. On the season finale, Dave McHugh is joined by a few guests as we look back at the Championship Weekends along with looking ahead at what should be a busy off-season...

The Road to Rochester and Salem are nearly complete. Only thing left is to actually hit the road and get the teams, media, fans, and others to their respective championships. It was a thrilling and, maybe, shocking Sectionals Weekend in Division III. For the women, quite a few exciting games, but four of the top five teams in the country advanced to the Championship Weekend. Not so much on the men...
