The 2019-20 season started a month ago. Already there has been plenty to talk about with still three months of regular season basketball to be played. And just as things got rolling on the court, now is also a time when we see things slow down for finals and the holiday break.

On Monday's special edition of Hoopsville, Dave chats with a few teams who are off to pretty good starts in the opening month. Some maybe surprising and others with still plenty of questions to be asked.

How good is Baldwin Wallace women and how hard with the OAC be this season? Are the Edgewood women as good as their incredible 9-0 start leads one to believe? And Whitworth men technically have a new coach at the helm, but is this the same Pirates program we've gotten used to over the years?

Plus, we react to what should be brand new men's and women's Top 25 polls.

Guests Schedule (order subject to change):
- Cheri Harrer, No. 20 Baldwin Wallace women's coach
- Chaia Huff, Edgewood women's head coach
- Damion Jablonski, No. 20 Whitworth men's coach
- Bob Quillman, Top 25 Double-Take

Women's first Regional Rankings released.

https://www.d3hoops.com/notables/2020/02/women-regional-rankings-first

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

In two weeks, the regular season will be over. If teams want to still be playing in March, the time to get it done is now ... including conference tournaments, some of which start for some this week.

This week will also bring with it a better understanding of which teams are in position to be playing in the NCAA Tournaments.

Monday on Hoopsville, we will chat with several programs which have positioned themselves atop their conference races and hope home court will help them punch tickets to the NCAA tournaments. However, they also know the difference between playing at home or in the NCAAs could be a single game still to be played.

Guests Schedule (order subject to change):
- Charlie Averkamp, Benedictine women's coach
- Trent Milby, Berea women's coach
- Jake Ross, Springfield senior guard
- Dean Burrows, Wesley men's coach
- Bob Quillman & Ryan Scott, Top 25 Double-Take

This has to be the first time to see three NACC teams in the regional rankings. Strong effort by the league this year.

I'd like to think that loser of Edgewood-Benedictine today would be able to get an at-large bid with a 24-3 record, but the numbers don't look like that's likely to happen.

Edgewood no chance.  Ben U outside chance.  They will likely stay behind Wheaton and possibly drop behind UW-LaCrosse in the final RR.

Also, Austin beating Trinity (Tx) today takes another Pool C off the table.

And both Edgewood (Auto) and Benedictine (Pool C) both get into the field. I believe that is the first time the league got two teams in for the tournament on the women's side.

Carissa Sain Named Head Women's Basketball Coach!!!

She spent the previous 12 seasons with the UChicago women's basketball program, including the last 8 as head coach!

I have no idea why you leave a school like UChicago, with stellar academics, money to burn, and outstanding student athletics, for someplace where the WBB program has three five wins to its credit in its sixseven-year history as a D3 program.   Maybe she wanted a challenge and there are always other considerations like family to take into consideration.  Have no doubt she will make a huge difference at Illinois Tech - congrats to the Scarlet Hawks on an amazing hire.
