The 2018-19 season has entered it's final weeks. For some teams, their final games are this week. For others, they are fighting to hopefully still be playing next week and maybe beyond. While others hope their season stretches into March, as long as they take care of business this week and next.

The season can really all boil down to a couple of games. While November is just as important, February games seem to have a different feel to them. Regional Rankings coming out gives everyone a new sense of where they stand if they have postseason plans. Conference tournaments getting ready to start also gives gives teams more incentive to lock up seedings or berths.

As a result: A lot of craziness and games to watch on any given night.

On Sunday's Hoopsville, Dave and guests try and take the temperature of these final few weeks. Who has turned heads, who seems to be stumbling down the stretch, and who should we be talking about while we've been distracted by the usual suspects.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Sunday's show starts at 7:00 p.m. ET right here: http://bit.ly/2GkK7C6 (or video Facebook Live and Periscope simulcasts).

The second week Regional Rankings have been released: https://www.d3hoops.com/notables/2019/02/men-regional-rankings-second

Link goes to First week rankings....

Ok so Maryville Scote even up with Covenant Scots and grabs second seed in the conference tournament, drawing LaGrange (who else?) for a third meeting. MC is playing as well as they were supposed to all year and can beat anyone in the league. It will be fitting if this group can win out and get Coach Lambert a final trip to the NCAA.

Is anyone out there?

The third public NCAA Division III regional rankings are out: https://www.d3hoops.com/notables/2019/02/men-regional-rankings-third

Murvul is in. (Randy got his ticket to the dance, one more time.) Congrats!

scottiedoug · February 24, 2019, 12:11:20 PM

Hey Ralph! It has been an interesting year for the Scots and a fitting tribute to Randy's coaching abilities. It took a while, but the team is now a team. The program represents what is good about D3 basketball.

d3hoops is predicting Guilford/Maryville and Sewanee/Emory in Atlanta.

Centre is the only other school that can drive there, so this is a very likely pod - especially since there's no guarantee Centre even gets in.

That would be an interesting Pod. Maybe Randy has a couple more wins up his sleeve.

I thought they were a Top 25 coming in, with all the returners. Obviously, things got a bit tricky there during the year with injury, but they seem to be on a good roll and they won't run into the champs in the first weekend, I don't think.

Maryville's drawing Nebraska Wesleyan last year was not a happy event. The Guilford-Emory-Center-Sewanee deal is more manageable. Scots can hang with all of them.

The thing is, though, all five (Centre, Emory, Guilford, Maryville and Sewanee) can probably all hang with each other. As the potential host, Emory has a terrific tie-breaker advantage with home crowd. With that said, I think all five potential qualifiers feel they could win this pod.
