How They Fared (Complete)

All of the women's games are finished, so here's the final report a day earlier than usual. I had the privilege of seeing three of these games (underlined) in Sommer Center at Bluffton, two of which were very good (even though one did not turn out as I had hoped).

14 losses in the report (although 5 of those were inevitable, since they were to other teams in the report).

[Mr. Ypsi]

Seems the appropriate board to post a question.  Would ANY team in D3 history have beaten Thomas More the last two years, or were Sydney Moss and pals just TOO transcendent?  I'm thinking especially of the Washington U dynasty ('98 -'01), especially 2000 where they turned the title game into a first-round-type blowout.

I sense that we have pretty much unanimously agreed that Sydney Moss was the greatest D3 player ever - was her team?

Oh I think her team was one of the best we have seen as well, but I would love to have seen them match up against Wash U to be sure... as for the rest... or others... maybe the Amherst squads from a few years ago (before TMC's run)... but I was more impressed with TMC when I watched them the last few years.

Was thinking the Hope championship team from 2006 would be an interesting matchup.  Hope was very athletic - several All Americans (Ebels and Boles) and lots of height (4 players 6'0 or taller with significant minutes), and a lock down defender in Henderson. 

[augie]

As long as I have been around d3 basketball even before d3 hoops,Elizabethtown and Scranton in the 80s would destroy Thomas More and Moss.Don't forget back then they played D1 and D2 schools.

[augie]

Hope fan I was at that game in Springfield.That Championship get was when they played Scranton the night before.Hope up one Hope throws the ball away to Casey Throne and she tried to throw the ball across court to Matt and eels stole it and went in for 2 to put you up 3 with 22 seconds left.We inbound (Scranton) and they double teamed Matt up top with 1 timeout left and Strong never called TO and even though he had 1 left when she was tied up and never used it.But I still remember that game 52-49 Hope.I remember talking to Nancy Fahey at the Bar at the Hotel after the game and remember her saying that Taryn Melody was one of the best players she has seen playing at that level which I agree.Amazing how you can remember all that.Congrats on being Crowd Champs that yeare because I think you played Southern Maine and destroyed the next night.

Wash-U wins tonight 76-65 at Emory, recovering from its UAA-opening loss at Chicago last Saturday.

Perhaps the most notable difference was the Bears' 3-point defense tonight...limiting Emory to 29% shooting (5-17), after Chicago shot 42% from 3 last week.  Meanwhile, Wash-U's took its 3-point shooting up a notch, burying 9 of 19 3s (47%).  And, the Bears played well inside the paint, outscoring Emory 30-22 in that department and displaying a 12-2 edge in 2nd-chance points.  Several high-low plays with two players in the pivot were successful between Jenn Dynis, Madeline Homoly, and Lily Sarros.  Dynis had 17 points and Sarros added 14.

Wash-U trailed 42-40 at halftime, but enjoyed a 24-10 edge in the 3rd quarter to turn the game around.

On to Rochester to see if the Bears can end the UAA-opening trio of games on the road with a 2-1 result...

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

The saying in the NFL is: "on any given Sunday." The idea being that anyone can win a game no matter the match up because, well, things happen. The same could be true in Division III basketball. On any given night, someone will pull off an upset. And in some weeks we see multiple upsets.

What to make of it all? Tune into Sunday's edition of Hoopsville as Dave tries to make sense of most of it with guests from around the country who can provide their insight.

Also on tap for tonight, can Amherst women run the table? What to make of William Peace men's basketball. And why one coach is highly regarded in the Chinese-American culture.

Tune in starting at 7:00 PM ET here: http://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2016-17/jan15 - or via Facebook Live. If you can't watch the show live, you can catch up On Demand once it is off the air or download the podcast via SoundCloud or iTunes.
