Three of the most recent 20 D-III over D-I upsets are by current ASC teams.

Agreed, Pat! 

Also, UMHB wins a barn burner over Southwestern 110-108 in OT.

Can anyone tell me what the status is of Jamil Samuel from East Texas Baptist. The last time he played in a game was December 12th against Rust.

He's still listed on the roster so I assume it's an injury of some sort but I'm wondering of he's coming back at all?

Ralph, can you can help me out with this one?

[Ralph Turner]

Sorry Magicman, I cannot help you.

The live video stream begins at 7:30 tonight against UT-Dallas.

If you can't help me I probably will never find out. I thank you for getting back to me so soon Ralph. I drafted Jamil for my NCAA Futures team last month when we had the draft. I expected the Tigers to get back to the NCAA tournament and that he would be a big reason why. Also thought they might once again win a few games and get to the Sweet 16 at least. They were 7-1 with him in the lineup and 4-3 since he's been missing. They are still a good team but a return to the dance without Jamil will be difficult. Winning the automatic bid will be tough, and if they get another 4 or 5 losses by the end of the ASC tournament they will be hard pressed to get a Pool C bid. I'll have to soldier on without him I guess. 

Unless I get surprised in the next week or so and he does return to lead them to the promised land. I'll be checking out the game tonight for sure.

OK ronk here and on the Liberty League board...are you stalking me?   Plus K you made me laugh twice.

And a plus K to Ralph cause I know he would have helped me if he could have. And it's his karma #1600.I couldn't resist that.

[Ralph Turner]

Samuel is not starting today either.

[umhb2001]

I wonder how much longer Coach D will be at UMHB. I know that he has grown that program into a good one, one that has gone all the way to the 'ship. But losing today to Sul Ross has got to be the nail in the coffin. I've heard some things about his future, but I'll save those until the news comes out. With Football, women's golf, and volleyball kind of leading the way, and with the recent new women's coach hire from Baylor University, I've got to believe that having a solid program that can bring in athletes and be a force in the conference is a desire.

Thoughts? 

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Despite technical problems over the last few weeks, Sunday's edition of Hoopsville has not been derailed by Mother Nature's rath! Three-feet of snow and still we will get two-hours of the show all thanks to that wonderful home studio.

Tonight, Dave McHugh talks to programs who are storming the competition right now. Whether in the midst of long winning streaks or dominating their conference, these programs are making the turn at five weeks to go in pretty good shape.

You can tune into Hoopsville tonight starting at 7:00 PM ET right here: http://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2015-16/jan24

Guest include (in order):
- Cherise Galasso, WPI women's coach
- Gabby Lisella, No. 22 Rowan women's coach
- Kris Huffman, DePauw women's coach (WBCA Center Court)
- Mike McGrath, No. 12 Chicago men's coach
- Bert West, East Texas Baptist men's coast It isn't easy to coach at any level. It is a joy to coach Division III says many a coach. Some enjoy it on their way up the ladder, others on their way closer to retirement, and others as their passion.

2001, I know UMHB is having a rough year but this is only the second time in Coach DeWeese's long tenure that they have double digit losses.  Also, Sul Ross State is currently leading the West division of the ASC so a loss to them is not surprising despite the fact that they overcame an 18 point deficit.  I think it is way too premature to think about changing coaches.

Let's not mention... we aren't that far removed from the national runner up which brought the school plenty of attention considering the title game was played in Atlanta at the actual Final Four. I don't think they would scuttle DeWeese for only a second double-digit loss season.

For the third consecutive year, Hoopsville will air for 12 hours as the regular season enters the final four weeks. Dave McHugh will chat with coaches, administrators, student-athletes, and others involved in Division III basketball from around the country. Other guests will include those who have Division III roots or appreciate the division and the game along with the student-athletes who play the sport.

Hoopsville will air from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. (and maybe later) on Thursday, February 4 live from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can see what guests are scheduled, get more information, and watch the show here: http://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2015-16/feb4
