[Pat Coleman]

It is definitely a nice makeup call after getting a regional ranking taken away from us, for all intents and purposes.

[Caz Bombers]

Yeshiva has to go tooth and nail and rally late to beat 9-10 Old Westbury. I don't think these guys are getting out of the first round, let alone the first weekend.

[CNU85]

Amazing game tonight. UMW is a very good team. It's going to be tough next week to play in their house.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Yeshiva has to go tooth and nail and rally late to beat 9-10 Old Westbury. I don't think these guys are getting out of the first round, let alone the first weekend.

They have to get there.  At this level of play, its going to be tough to win the conference tournament.

[midrangepullup]

Wesleyan(CT) is a legit team, definitely the favorites to come out of the NESCAC tourney. Will be interesting to see where they end up in the tournament.

There's a lot of red on there today. Thanks again for doing this each week, Darryl!

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

After several weeks of midday shows, we are back to our regularly scheduled time of 7:00 PM ET - and we are super-sizing the show tonight to make up for not being able to be on air Thursday AND the craziness that has happened in the last week!



Today is a day we celebrate those we love and for many of us that includes the student-athletes, coaches, administrators, and programs in Division III.

On Monday's Hoopsville, we super-size the show to cover everything that has happened in the last week while also trying to look ahead at conference tournaments which start soon. After all, we are just two weeks away from talking about who is in or out of the NCAA Tournaments.

Plus, we look at the latest Top 25 polls which will be released Monday evening and react to the men's poll which will clearly undergo some shakeup.

Guests included:

• Jenna Cosgrove, Rhode Island women's coach
• Jon VanderWal, No. 2 Marietta men's coach
• Lance Thornhill, Fontbonne men's coach
• James Wallace, LeTourneau men's coach
• Keri Carollo, No. 7 UW Whitewater women's coach
• Anthony Mason, Vassar women's coach
• Top 25 Double-Take Super Sized: Akiva Poppers, Bob Quillman, Mike Rejniak, Ryan Whitnable

One today, one next Tuesday, then it's just the final rankings on selection Sunday, which we usually get to see by late Monday or Tuesday of that week.
