I hope everyone on this thread saw your post.

Are there any conferences where everyone qualifies for the play-offs?

Several... including the ODAC, for example.

LEC, ODAC, SAA - the CUNYAC women did this year because Baruch was ineligible.

Were the final bracket results posted?  I can't find the link.

I just sent a note over to the guys at d3photo but the link to check, if it's even been updated, would be d3challenge.com

Thanks--I made good guesses. 4th women and 17th men

Hello all fellow Hoop Fanatics! I usually try to keep up with the centennial as much as possible through the board when I cannot attend games throughout the year due to different circumstances that seem to always pop up. It does seem as if the mens side of the cent has been getting some substantial gossip with all the vacancies in head coaching positions and deservedly so.

I am much more intrigued though on the women's side of the cent! Does anybody have any idea who Hopkins is going to replace now with the absence of Nancy Funk?!?!?! Funk was a great coach but more importantly a great mentor for those young women that got the privilege to learn and play under her. In my opinion she was the second best coach in the conference, only second to the Mules Ron Rohn.

The Hopkins job is a job many coaches dream of and could definitely entertain the likes of some big names at other head coaching positions around the country. Personally, I would like to think that Hopkins has an assistant that could step up and do the job given that Funk was such a great mentor and leader but that could be a long shot with the potential applicants. Whomever they do choose, best of luck to them and hopefully they can have the same positive impact on the young ladies the way Funk did.

Quick shoutout to Emily Gibbons on the POY award. Great season and great career. Such a shame to see her get her hurt in the conference championship as I'm sure my bullets could have prevailed over those stinkin Mules Always next year though... GO BULLETS!

         Corporal Hicks predicts that the coaches in the Cent will finally get over themselves and will finally give Brandi Vallely the MVP and credit she has deserved for the past 2 seasons. 

The Lady Mules will win another championship adding to the legacies of Ron Rohn, Brandi Vallely, and Rachel Plotke.

Corp. Out.

I talked with Ron Rohn within the week; both Brandi and Rachel have been hindered by injuries that have limited them from even better play than they've produced so far.

The Division III basketball season has begun and tonight Hoopsville will hit the air for its 15th season!

In tonight's season premiere, Dave McHugh chats with the two preseason No. 1 teams, both national committee chairs, and gets an update on a new tournament featuring several Top 25 teams. Dave will also try and get everyone up to speed on the new season and take a look at what has already happened in early season games.

One thing fans may notice is no video for this season's debut. This is not a change in the production of the show, just a temporary decision. There has been a lot going on leading up to the premiere and not everything got up to speed in time. We hope to have actual video broadcasts return in short order. We appreciate everyone's patience.

There is always a large gathering of friends and family around a large table with plenty of food that helps ring in the new basketball season. Many call it Thanksgiving, we tend to call it the second weekend of the Division III season.

And one again the early weeks of the season have not disappointed... nor been lacking surprises.

Preseason Top 25 teams have lost as often as turkeys have been overcooked this holiday week. Teams who have had surprise starts have followed up with continued surprises or more head-scratching results. However, no matter the games and no matter the wins and losses, we are thankful to have the season here and be able to talk about it.

On Sunday's Hoopsville, Dave tries to gobble up the leftovers and figure out who was granted their wish after the snap of the wishbone. At the same time, we take the time to recognize a milestone at D3hoops.com: 20 years of being ... D3hoops.com - the home of Division III men's and women's basketball.

Dave also chats with a new dynamic duo in Baltimore. Hope Josh Loeffler and Catherine Bixby are settling into jobs that have seen the same coaches (Bill Nelson and Nancy Funk) in over thirty years.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch the show LIVE starting at 7:00 PM ET (or On Demand) here: http://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2017-18/nov19. You can also listen to the podcast, located to the right, after the show is off the air.
