Hoopsville

The Sectional Round games are here. Soon 16 teams on both the men's and women's brackets will be whittled to eight ... and before we know it just four will remain. Who will advance, who will fall short of the final weekend, and who is best prepared? Hard to answer all of those questions, but on Thursday's edition of Hoopsville Dave will have plenty of guests who will give us their insight on their...

With so much parity, especially in men's basketball, unexpected outcomes where to be ... expected. However, that doesn't prepare anyone for the number of upsets, who was upset, and how. Sunday night on Hoopsville, Dave tries to breakdown the opening weekend not only looking back at some of the crazier finishes, but also talking to programs who escaped the wrath. Programs who are dancing on to the...

This is a special Hoopsville Podcast edition with Bobbi Morgan the Division III women's basketball national committee chair and Haverford women's basketball coach. Dave McHugh talked to Morgan extensively about this year's selections and bracketing work ahead of the NCAA tournaments. Morgan even discusses some of the challenges the committee faced this season and changes she wouldn't mind consider...

The Division III men's and women's national tournaments are set, teams are where they need to be, and practices underway. Now, it's just a matter of tipping off the games. But before we tip them off, we need some final thoughts. Tune in Thursday night to Hoopsville where Dave will talk to a number of guests about their programs and their chances in the NCAA tournament. You can't starting heading d...

--- PART 2 of 2 ---- The regular season is over. Conference titles have been crowned and most teams are either getting ready for the NCAA tournament or packing up their locker rooms. However, there are quite a few programs who are now sitting and waiting ... waiting to hear whether they have been selected to compete for a national title as well. Who may be in and who may be left out of the NCAA se...

The NCAA Division III tournaments are set. We know which 128 teams will be playing for the national championship. But there were some surprises, maybe some controversy, and certainly a lot of questions. Today on a special edition of Hoopsville, Dave McHugh was joined by Ryan Scott as they answered questions, tried to understand some of the decisions made, and pointed to some of the more interestin...

It is down to the final week of the regular season. It is now or never. Win the conference tournament, earn the automatic qualifier, and a team will be playing in March. Don't win it and either hold out hope for an at-large selection or the season is over. The season continues or ends on the bounce of a ball from here on out. So who may be in jeopardy and who is sitting pretty? On Thursday's editi...

The final week of the 2017-18 season is upon us. In a week's time, the topic will be who has punched their tickets to the NCAA tournaments and who is hoping to get selected. This week... we don't know many of the answers and some questions have yet to be considered. Hoopsville returns to the air Sunday night with a jam-packed, and super-sized, edition. Dave welcomes guests from around the country...

As the regular season draws ever closer to the end, the intensity of conference races increases. There are very few teams in both the men's and women's side of Division III basketball that seem comfortable at the top. With conference tournaments starting, being at the top is important, but it also comes with a big target. This Thursday's Hoopsville is a special podcast edition - not live. On the s...

Wait... what?! Who won? Hold on, who lost?! How did... but they... so... wow... okay. Another crazy week(end) of Division III basketball leaves us more questions to answer, heads to scratch, and what-ifs to contemplate. Sunday night's episode of Hoopsville promises to ... hmm, maybe we shouldn't promise too much if this season is a lesson in anything. Nothing is guaranteed. Tune as Dave is joined...

The first regional rankings are out which in itself brings on a lot of conversation, but the jockeying and positioning contines in conferences around the country for teams trying to keep their seasons going into March. On Thursday's edition of Hoopsville, Dave talks to a number of high-ranking squads about the pressure to stay atop their respective conference races while also positioning themselve...

The big game is over, so now it's time to focus only on basketball. Division III basketball to be exact. Join Dave and a number of guests on this special Monday edition of Hoopsville. There is plenty to talk about including another crazy weekend of results that will have Top 25 voters scratching their heads and maybe pulling hair off their head as well. Plus, the first regional rankings come out l...

There is a first time for everything. Right? On Sunday's Hoopsville, Dave chats with a couple of programs (or guests) who have never been on the show. All of them are in conference races and yearning to position themselves well for conference tournaments. Not sure any of them were expected to be in this position. It seems to be a theme that's pretty common of late. At the same time, one coach has...

It doesn't matter what night you tune in to Division III basketball, something will surprise you. There are teams leading conferences that weren't expected to be in the conversation, there are programs who continue their record-setting starts to the season, and others who seem to be defying expectations - well, at least those outside of the locker room. On Thursday's edition of Hoopsville, Dave ch...

By this point in most seasons, the usual names appear at the top of conferences races and conversations surround the usual suspects. Not the case this year. There are new names at the top, or in the mix, of conferences around the country. That excitement is what is driving the 2017-18 season and makes any night in Division III must-watch. On Sunday's episode of Hoopsville, Dave talks to some new f...

It is already the midway point of January. In a month's time, we will be looking at conference tournaments and discussing who has a chance to make the NCAA tournaments. However, there is still a lot of basketball to be played and many teams are starting to take the turn into the second half of conference play. On Thursday's edition of Hoopsville, Dave will chat with a number of guests to get a lan...

Hoopsville doesn't get moved to a Monday afternoon all that often. Then again, Division III teams don't take over a mecca of college basketball every day, either. Coming off a terrific Centennial Day at the Palestra, Dave recaps a wonderful event including some good games in Philadelphia. Plus, Illinois Wesleyan is dominating their CCIW foes, so far. Can they keep up the torrid pace throughout the...

It is always an exciting and surprising point in the season. The midway point. We are already halfway through another thrilling Division III basketball season. The best part, we have plenty more basketball to come. The hard part, we are also closer to the season coming to a close. On Thursday night's Hoopsville, Dave will try and pull out his crystal ball and read the tea leaves on who can sustain...
