Does anyone have the time to look at the top 25 and figure out the W-L for each team against RRO?

It'll be in the data sheets when the regional rankings are released today and tomorrow.

Did you miss Monday night's Hoopsville? No worries, you can catch up On Demand or via the podcast!

The final week of the D-III regular season is here. And most conferences are in full voice to determine who will automatically play in NCAA Tournaments.



On Monday's Hoopsville, we get you set for the final week - the final sprint - to the regular season finish line. While most conferences will be crowning champions at the end of the week, some teams have already punched their tickets to March post-season play and others are already on the bubble. We prepare you for the craziest week of every season.

Plus, we chat with teams in Regions 1 and 2, 4, 6, and 8 to see how they are preparing themselves for their conference finishes.

Guests include:

• Heather Macy, Greensboro women's coach
• Glen Miller, No. 12 St. Joseph's (Conn.) men's coach
• Pat Coleman, Editor-in-Chief, D3hoops.com
• Joe Crispin, Rowan men's coach
• Amanda Leonhard-Perry, St. Norbert women's coach

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the NABC Studio. All guests appear on the BlueFrame Technology Hoopsville Hotline.

Thanks Scottie! I was flipping back and forth between a few schools and the regional rankings.....and my boss wants me to do some work at the same time!!

[VT-Alum-NOVA]

with flight trip cancellation issues still occuring regularly, committee should really think twice about sending George Fox to East Coast again this year.  It would be a really unfair advantage for a team to have to get a flight cancelled on Wednesday and fly out Thursday for Friday games.

[Pat Coleman]

Teams are going to have to fly at some point.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Most flight cancellations happen the last week of the month when airlines run out of employees with flight hours remaining.  We should be ok for the first three weeks of March.

Should there be regional rankings and brackets for the flight crews? 

[VT-Alum-NOVA]

it is those long cross country flights I am concerned about especially from smaller airports.  multiple stops mean more issues can crop up.  i hope it is an end of the month thing

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Conference tournaments are fully on. It is time for upsets and great games happening at all times. The results will not only be conference champions, but NCAA tourney dreams realized ... and dashed.

Thursday on Hoopsville, we catch up with a number of teams which realize they have to keep winning this week if they want to keep playing next week. "There is no more next game ..."

There are plenty of guests to talk to, so we are jamming them into a super-sized show. Some have quietly emerged on top, or near the top, of their conference races and hope to use home court advantage to win an automatic bid. Others knowing they have to win to make sure to keep playing this season. And one coach who shows that there is a lot of things that are important during basketball season.


Guests include (order subject to change):

• Chad Dickman, Hood men's coach
• Sean Coffey, Utica men's coach
• Pat McKenzie, St. John's men's coach
• Jacey Brooks, SUNY Cortland women's coach
• Christine VanHook, PSU-Behrend women's coach
• Stephany Dunmyer, Oberlin women's coach
• Todd Kent, UC Santa Cruz women's coach

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the NABC Studio. All guests appear on the BlueFrame Technology Hoopsville Hotline.

[Roundball999]

With all the regional rankings, bracket selection and related discussion I hadn't looked at the WBCA rankings for a while.  Am I the only one who thinks those rankings look pretty much like a simple winning percentage listing, maybe with a slight NESCAC leaning thrown in?
