Hoopsville

The 2021-22 season has come to a close, but it isn't over until we put a bow on the season on Hoopsville. It might have been three years since we last crowned Division III basketball champions, but the wait was well worth it. Hope and Randolph-Macon seemed to be appropriate champions as well. They were two of the more dominant teams during 2020, 2021, and 2022. Tuesday night on Hoopsville, we reca...

The Sectional Champions have cut down the nets, but there is still one net everyone wants to actually cut down. There are four men's and four women's teams remaining in the NCAA Tournaments.

And there are some fascinating ma...

Every program has a chance to still be playing next weekend, but who will likely get through to get to t...

Monday on Hoopsville, we chat with a number of the programs who are still vy...

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...

It seems the Omicron variant of COVID issues for most teams are starting to become a thing of the past (knock on wood). We are getting back to seeing most DIII games taking place. That means upsets and surprises along with teams continuing their impressive ways. Some of those seemingly impressive teams are still flying under the radar for most. On Thursday's edition of Hoopsville, we talk to them....

The annual NCAA Convention is this week and it is one of the most important gatherings of Association membership in the modern history of the NCAA.
