Last night, the #10, 15, 16, 18, 24, and 25 teams all lost. Don't know if those games will be included in the next poll, but that should mess things up a bit.

Yep... games through tonight will be in the data for voters to decide by tomorrow evening.

Usual data collection ends the Sunday evening head of the Monday vote.

It appears that my computer likes a lot of midwestern teams (including the Tommie/Johnnie rivalry, OAC upstarts Capital & Mt. Union, and North Central) and is unimpressed with Hamilton, Whitworth, Wittenberg, and Plattsburgh.  I could be out in left field, but got one right last season, when NWU was receiving zero votes for the top 25.

If D3H was a stock market (new fantasy game?) set by the polls, I would be buying Nebraska Wesleyan, the OAC, MIAC, and CCIW.  On the flip side, I would sell Emory, York, E. Connecticut, Lycoming, and Salem State.

hey. is there a compilation of advanced metrics for d3 teams somewhere? i know massey produces ratings, but there isn't any kenpom-like evaluation of efficiency data. i did land on matt snyder's data (his forever faithful blog), but that's the only one i know.

who else produces ratings?

sorry if this is a misplaced post, i didn't want to start a whole new thread

I think that Matt's blog is THE place for D3 men's tempo-free statistics.

The grind of conference play is in full gear. Nothing beats a team up or reveals how good one is like the grind of conference play.

Thursday night on Hoopsville we take a look at the grind and how teams are surviving, surprising, and even impressing as the holidays and the break quickly become a distant memory in the rear view mirror.

The first of the season's "WBCA Center Court" segments also debuts with the dedication of one coach off the court and with her family. UW-Platteville women's coach Megan Wilson talks about her daughter's battle with cancer and the decision to step away from coaching to help her daughter fight.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch Thursday's show, LIVE, starting at 7:00 p.m. ET here: http://bit.ly/2D0Qd7t

Most of those make sense to me. I think the MIAC is just ok this year, would hesitate to say that there are other ranked teams besides those two, but those two are pretty good. There are probably at least one MIAC team better than some of the other receiving votes, though.

Capital wasted no time confirming your computer's faith, winning at Marietta.

The anticipated top six (I'm including St. John's) is about as loaded as any I can recall.  All are upperclassman (and in particular senior) dominated teams with stellar efficiency ratings who have been crushing most of their opponents despite playing in power conferences.  The top six features last year's two title game finalists, both of whom returned nearly everyone, plus three other teams that made final fours with sophomore cores two years ago, now two years more developed as players.  And the sixth team, St. John's, has been perhaps the most impressive statistically.  Between the six teams, at least ten likely all-American players.  Whoever wins this year's title will really have to earn it. 

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh



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).

I don't see any reason for St. John's to jump Whitworth. Unlike some of the other losses, a two-point loss to No. 4 isn't reason to move a team down.
