That's hard to read. You should format it as a table, Bobby.

Thanks for the recommendation now only learn how to do that.  I have the information in Excel but copy and paste did this to me and then when I tried to fix it then it posted it.  I wish I was younger.  My computer experience in college was Fortran, COBAL and Assembler.  I quit after Assembler.   If it wasn't for Professor Ray Ford's help I would have flunked!

Bobby, I'll show you how to do it. Check your personal messages.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

The Division III basketball season has reached the point where many conferences are making the turn into the second half of their double-round robins. The landscape of those conferences has gotten a little more in focus ... and there are some surprises.

Thursday on Hoopsville, we chat with a few coaches whose teams are on top of their conference races either surprising many with that simple fact or getting there with surprising outcomes.

Plus, we talk to a coach (whose team happens to be leading their conference as well) who become a head coach in a rather surprising manner. How she adapted and now finds herself in Division III and how the coaching community also came to her aid.

There is also breaking news out of the NCAA Convention regarding regional realignment and expansion. And much more to get everyone up to speed.

Time for a marathon!

Thursday, Hoopsville will be on the air for at least nine hours in the 7th Annual Hoopsville Marathon Show.

This year's show will feature coaches, administrators, and many others around Division III to give us a sense of the season to date and what is to come. There is only a month or so left in the regular season, so there is plenty to talk about.

For more information about the show and its impact, click here.

The show's guest list is below with a rough idea of when they were scheduled to appear during the live show.

The marathon is also a chance to fundraise of the show. Many fans of Hoopsville ask often how they can give to the program so we can continue doing our work into the future. In the first few years of the Marathon, the fundraising side was an important aspect. However in the last few years, we have shyed away from fundraising as we tried to find other means to financially run the program. After requests from many, we are do have a few ways fans can contribute.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch the entire Marathon show LIVE in the video player above. We will effort to turn around podcast episodes of the entire show. They will be available to the right (after the show is off the air).

Guests appear on the Hoopsville Hotline presented by BlueFrame Technology.

And don't forget to interact with the Dave and guests. You can use the social media option to the right and even email (dave.mchugh@d3sports.com) questions to the show.

The Division III basketball regular season has officially entered it's final month. Where has the time gone?

Seems like a perfect time to take a break for lunch. Chat about what is ahead and teams which have positioned themselves well to still be playing next month.

Thursday on Hoopsville (at a special time), we chat with not only a few of Top 25 programs, but also a team that has seemingly come out of nowhere to be contending in one of the more difficult conferences.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch Thursday's show LIVE starting at 12:00 pm ET in the following ways:

[Smitty Oom]

A lot of un-surprising results halfway through the week.

It really is time to no longer include UW-Oshkosh in the top 25. I know it is probably just a handful of pollsters, but 15 points is a decent amount for 7 losses, no matter how good they look on film. There are definitely more deserving teams that are just as good on film with better resumes, especially given the loss this week to UW- Eau Claire.. although they certainly will beat UW-LAX later in this week to keep those voters holding on haha!

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Things are heating up in Division III as the first set of Regional Rankings are due out next week.

Sunday night on Hoopsville, we chat with a few teams not only trying to stay atop their conference races, but also hoping they are either in or near the top of the Regional Rankings.

We also take a look at the women's Top 25 poll. What changes might we see this week with not only one of the bigger in-season upsets in recent history, but also a number of other interesting results from the week before. And yes, we will chat about the men's Top 25 as well.

[BaboNation]

While I think the pollsters have gotten things right most of the season I'm puzzled how folks still have Springfield behind my Babson Beavers, though it's down to a slim 2 points now.

Springfield has the better SOS and beat Babson on it's home court back when Babson still had Oftring.  So, if you vote mostly on past performance and SOS I give Springfield the nod, and if you vote to include current health, etc., I give the nod to Springfield there too.  Babson has weathered the Oftring injury well from a W-L standpoint, but they'll do well to go 2-2 in their final 4 IMO.  Tough games against WPI (H), Springfield (A), and Emerson (A).

FWIW, Massey has Springfield at 12 and Babson at 29. 

Strictly from a New England perspective (which I watch most often) it's great to see St. Joe's finally crack the top 25.

My way-too-early projection of New England teams built to go farthest in the tournament are Middlebury, Springfield, and St. Joe's, in no particular order.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I was unaware Oftring was still out.  Is it a season-ending thing?  I'm pretty sure I follow injuries as closely if not more closely than most voters.  That's just not something easy to access.  If he's out for the year, then it would change how I view Babson, for sure.
