MBB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[tomt4525]

Whitewater has an extremely talented freshman coming in this season.  Not sure what the story is with him, but he was a senior in 2019 and will now have 4 years of eligibility at Whitewater.  Larry Canady, 6'3" W from Racine Park will play for the Warhawks.  There is a lot of talent coming into the WIAC this season, but Canady's might take the cake.

WIAC just announced no winter sports until atleast the new year.  Ugh

Not surprised since a lot of the towns WIAC schools are located have some of the highest increases in Covid cases in the nation.

From almost no cases to slightly more cases.

Taken per capita LaCrosse is #1 and WHITEWATER #2 in new Covid cases.   Oshkosh was also in the top 10, 7th I think.

Platteville has posted a schedule including a couple of non-conference games that will obviously not be played as scheduled.

Edit: A St. John's-Platteville game would've been fantastic.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Will there be a 2020-21 NCAA Division III basketball season? If so what will it look like? What will the post-season look like?

It is on the mind of student-athletes, coaches, administrators, parents, and fans for several weeks, if not months, now. We are finally understanding what it may look like as a number of decisions or proposals are now making their way around Division III.

In this month's podcast, Dave McHugh not only downloads all the things being considered and the likely outcomes, but tries to give listeners an understanding of how much is still unknown despite some things becoming more clear.

McHugh also talks to Texas-Dallas women's basketball coach Polly Thomason for her take. Thomason has been in the Division III Women's Basketball National Committee for several years and is this season's chair of the committee. She also serves on the WBCA Board of Governors. Thomason not only provides her perspective on much of what is going on not only in Division III, but in women's basketball as well.

And of course, there is always the Hoopsville Notebook. Unfortunately, there is some sad news in the Notebook this month, but also news to celebrate especially when it comes to DIII alums making news in the NBA.

Whitewater's incoming recruiting class also includes Fred Cottrell from New Berlin West, Jack Quinlevan from Homestead and Gage Malensek of Brookfield Central.  From doing a little digging, looks like Cottrell transferred to Whitewater from Trinidad St and Illinois Central Junior Colleges.  Quinlevan transfers in from Depauw.  Malensek is another really big addition if he can keep his head on straight as he is a scholarship level player that lost his opportunities late in his high school career.  I won't get into Malensek's backstory, people can look it up if they are interested.

I'll start doing roster updates with the new recruiting additions that have become known and to see where rosters are at for each team.  Full disclosure, there is almost no information on any guys with eligibility left not returning.
