The risk with basketball (and other sports) season? Weather. One or two storms can throw a monkey wrench into a well thought out schedule and travel plans.

The same can be said about trying to play with within a conference. Programs know each other so well that games can suddenly become rockier than anyone thought looking at the matchup on paper.

On Sunday's Hoopsville, Dave will take a look at the "stormy weather" that both Mother Nature and conference schedules seem to have brought us. From postponements and travel challenges to head-scratching results and season-turning outcomes.

Tonight's highlights include a Williams men's team off to the best start in program history, a DeSales women's program that is blowing the doors off of games, and a Greenville men's squad that seems to have mastered the "System" pretty darn fast.

We will also debut the "NABC Coach's Corner" with a former DIII coach, turned administrator. Schreiner Athletics Director Bill Raleigh talks about his former days coaching and why being an athletic director is what drives him now. He also talks about his work on the NCAA Basketball Rules Committee and his continued work with the NABC in support of Division III.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Sunday's episode hits the air at 7:00 p.m. ET and can be watched here: http://bit.ly/2VRm3Lh (or via Facebook Live & Periscope simulcasts).

[Mr. Ypsi]

Bowdoin and Thomas More are both listed as receiving 612 points.  So why is Bowdoin listed as 1 and TM as 2?

I assume it must be because Bowdoin had 13 first place votes to TM's 12; to which the obvious reply is that TM had no THIRD place votes and Bowdoin did.  They TIED for first.

To me, Thomas More is CLEARLY the best team in D3.  Bowdoin is undefeated, but except for Tufts their opponents seem like mostly tomato cans.  Thomas More is destroying opponents, at least seven of which are better than Bowdoin's second best win.

As explained on Twitter (and I think Facebook) ... and the teaser on the front page of the site ... the tie-breaker is decided by first place votes, which Bowdoin has more of than TMU.

As for what the voters are thinking ... who knows. I realize looking at it that it clearly can be a difficult one to decipher and each voter is going to have their own point of view - especially the coaches on the poll.

Side note: our scoreboard system can't accept two #1s, so we were going to have to break this tie to some degree anyway.

[gordonmann]

Yes, we broke the tie for first place based on who had the most No. 1 votes.

I'm voting for Thomas More first, so I'm only guessing at the logic for those who aren't. But it might go something like this...

"Thomas More looked awesome last year and then lost to the best team in the NESCAC by double-digits. The NESCAC utterly dominated last year's tournament to the point where almost every win was a double-digit margin of victory, including the thrashing of Wartburg in the semifinals, Tufts convincing win at Scranton, Amherst's crushing Rochester, etc. So, until someone beats the top team in the NESCAC -- whether that's Bowdoin, Amherst or Tufts -- that team is the best in the country. Especially when this year's Bowdoin team looks a lot like last year's Amherst team."

It's a defensible position.

(My program just looks at total points, not #1 votes, so it did not attempt to break the tie at the top.)

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Milestones, upsets, underdogs, under the radar, and giving back ... that's what's on tap for Sunday's Hoopsville.

While in the conference grind, there are always results people don't expect. Whether an upset or a team flying under the radar finally pops up on everyone's radar, there are games and teams worth paying attention to outside the usual suspects. But even the top teams in the country have a story to tell.

On Sunday's episode, we will learn what it's like to be on the top team in the country, how a team can still fly under the radar with big results in on a difficult conference, how another team has emerged that no one was expecting on top of another competitive conference, how one of the top conferences in the county ticks and how the races there may turn out, and the importance of giving back to the community especially in honor of one of the country's greatest leaders.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Sunday's show will air live starting at 7:00 p.m. ET here: http://bit.ly/2HoPIZf (and simulcast on Facebook Live and Periscope).

Oh ... and the show is definitely going to see some "overtime" tonight.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

The NCAA votes on a new Board of Governors composition this evening. All three divisions have to approve plan. This gives Division III an opportunity (w/Division II) to leverage for something better.

I have a couple of ideas, if it's not too late: bit.ly/2Huo4tV

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Well, things certainly escalated quickly! Upsets a plenty. Conference races tightening. At the same time, some more clarity? Maybe not.

There will be plenty to talk about on Sunday's Hoopsville.

Join us as Dave and his guests work to figure out what has happened in just the last few days, plus get a sense of what's to come. We will talk to teams who are near the top of their conferences races in the Northeast, Atlantic, South, and Central regions. Plus, we hear from a coach who continues to give back to the NABC and trying to improve how Division III is perceived within the coaching ranks.

Oh, and how will the Top 25s shake out on Monday?

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch Sunday's show starting at 7:00 p.m. ET right here: http://bit.ly/2FQFb7v (or via Facebook Live and Periscope simulcasts).

[SidelineHero]

Time to put UMassD back in the voting.  If SUNY New Paltz is receiving votes then UMassD is worthy of consideration again.  The Bowdoin loss by 8 should be a plus for UMD.  Losing by 4 to Babson at Babson is looking more and more like a respectable loss.  Babson is a really good team! If UMassD wins at UMassB AND wins out, then they are a Tourney team if they at least make it to the LEC championship.

Admittedly 20 - 40 is very muddled. A lot of teams look very similar.

Time to put UMassD back in the voting.  If SUNY New Paltz is receiving votes then UMassD is worthy of consideration again.  The Bowdoin loss by 8 should be a plus for UMD.  Losing by 4 to Babson at Babson is looking more and more like a respectable loss.  Babson is a really good team! If UMassD wins at UMassB AND wins out, then they are a Tourney team if they at least make it to the LEC championship.

Admittedly 20 - 40 is very muddled. A lot of teams look very similar.

And then Babson loses to Emerson. SMH
