How They Fared (So Far) Upcoming Games

If this year's schedule is like the last several, the next poll will come out on January 4. Rather than posting a partial update between now and then, here's a list of the games scheduled for the next three weeks. I'll post the final report on Sunday, January 3.

Scranton-Bridgewater is a neutral site game in Las Vegas.

#17

236

Scranton

7-0

12/15 vs. Johnson and Wales; 12/16 vs. TBA; 12/20 vs. Emory and Henry (n); 12/21 at Bridgewater (Va.); 01/02 vs. Elizabethtown

Scranton-Bridgewater is a neutral site game in Las Vegas.

Noted for the final report (if I still remember this in three weeks).  My program is limited to the information in the d3hoops.com database, which lists this game as "at Bridgewater": http://www.d3hoops.com/teams/Scranton/women/2015-16/index

[saratoga]

Must be at Bridgewater's Las Vegas campus.

How They Fared (So Far)

Still a few games left in this three-week stretch, but it felt like time for an update. The full report will be posted Sunday night, as usual.

Also, note that I can include in the report any additional teams who might be worthy of consideration. I've included at the end of this report an example of such a team (which, by sheer coincidence, happens to be my very favorite D3 women's team). If you have other suggestions, post them here, or send me a PM.

(EDIT: Remainder of report deleted, replaced by the full report which follows.)

[Darryl Nester]

How They Fared (Nearly Complete)

Two games missing (NYU/Middlebury and Tufts/Springfield); I will edit in those results when available.

(update: Finished in time for Hoopsville at 7:00pm!)

I got no other suggestions for other teams worthy of consideration, but my humble contribution remains at the end of the report.

I just submitted my ballot and had Birmingham-Southern as No. 25. So they'll be on the report next week. Keene State is also worth tracking.

This was a "blow-it-up-and-start-all-over" week after the Top 5. The Central region plus the IIAC and MIAC are really beating up on each other, but I have a bunch of those teams ranked more highly than they are likely to fall in the actual poll.

Wheaton is the most confusing team for me, especially after the loss to Augustana. I've watched a couple of their games online and they are really inconsistent on offense.

I all but blew my men's ballot up this week. I just didn't have time with other responsibilities to put that much MORE time into the ballot. However, if this is a rough week... next Monday will be non-too-fun for my daughter (who I watch on Mondays). LOL

  I hear your daughter wants to go to the Scranton game on Saturday to see for herself why you don't have the Royals in your top 25 plus her older brother told her that he's already been to multiple Scranton games.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Ha! I suspect the family will be there. We have to get used to midday basketball games at Goucher on the weekends!

As for why I don't have Scranton in my Top 25 ballot (on the men's side, for those wondering - I don't vote on the women's poll)... you may have spoken too soon... maybe... maybe not... you will have to wait until tomorrow's blog post.

How They Fared (So Far)

(midweek report removed; full report below)

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

We are back to our normal Sunday and Thursday Hoopsville shows tonight! Now that we are getting back into our routine, we get back into the habit of featuring the East, Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, and West Regions on Thursday night shows (Northeast, Atlantic, Central, and South Regions on Sunday nights). Tonight, Dave McHugh talks with coaches who are succeeding so far this season thanks to a bit of a youth movement. How those squads are either exceeding early expectations or reloading pretty nicely. Dave also gets an assist from Pat Coleman to help cover the much anticipated men's basketball game between No. 1 Augustana at No. 5 Elmhurst which needed overtime to be decided. And Dave talks about the latest Hoopsville partner - the WBCA. With the WBCA coming onboard with the NABC there needed to be some branding changes. You will hear the change almost immediately.

Watch Hoopsville tonight at 7pm ET: www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2015-16/jan7 - a show that had to be pre-recorded tonight due to other commitments.

Guests and/or topics include (in order):
- Pat Coleman, coverage of No. 1 Augie vs. No. 5 Blue Jays
- Ron Rohn, No. 10 Muhlenberg women's coach
- Lindsay Goldblatt, Cal Lutheran women's coach
- Fajri Ansari, Buffalo State men's coach
- Chris Kibler, Hiram men's coach

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Believe it or not, but we are pretty much halfway through the 2015-16 season and there are plenty of teams still surprising and records being rewritten.

Tonight on Hoopsville we chat with the fourth person to reach the 900 wins in men's college basketball, a woman who keeps herself very busy even when she isn't coaching, and several other teams who are surprising everyone by leading their conference races.

Hoopsville hits the air at 7:00 PM ET and you can watch it here: www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2015-16/jan10

Guests include ( in order):
- Glenn Robinson, #17 F&M men's coach - won career game 900 Saturday
- Pat Manning, #18 Williams women's coach - WBCA Center Court segment
- Amanda Crockett, North Park women's coach
- Mac Brown, New Jersey City men's coach
- Kendal Wallace, LaGrange men's coach

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

As the basketball spins... there continue to be incredible stories around Division III as we get further into conference schedules. Teams leading conferences that no one suspected, programs finding success with alums at the helm, and Division III making national headlines but not for the obvious reasons. Tonight on Hoopsville, Dave McHugh talks to those still proving people wrong as the season enters the second half.

Dave is in San Antonio for the NCAA Convention, so tonight's show is pre-recorded. Dave talked to most of the guests before some played their midweek games. The pre-recorded show along with podcast will be available starting at 7pm ET here: http://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2015-16/jan14

Guests include (in order of appearance):
- Dr. Oliver Eslinger, Caltech men's coach - NABC Coach's Corner
- Rob deGrandpre, Hilbert men's coach
- Kelly Dunne, Nazareth women's coach
- Zach Filzen, No. 22 Lancaster Bible men's coach (Gordon Mann interview)
- Ashlee Rogers, Marymount women's coach
