Been quiet here.  Amherst is playing hard and developing depth as conference play has arrived.  Three Nescac teams in the top 4 of D3hoops rankings.  Expect some exciting tough battles ahead with Bowdoin and Tufts.
Williams with a fine record got notice last night that Amherst, even with one of two senior all-Americans having a modest stats night...they can still dominate the game with the other.

Seems like young Amherst players are coming along nicely also.  Will be a fun team to watch as the season progresses.  Williams played hard, so seemed like a good test before Tufts and Bowdoin.

Time for a marathon!

Thursday, Hoopsville will be on the air for at least nine hours in the 7th Annual Hoopsville Marathon Show.

This year's show will feature coaches, administrators, and many others around Division III to give us a sense of the season to date and what is to come. There is only a month or so left in the regular season, so there is plenty to talk about.

For more information about the show and its impact, click here.

The show's guest list is below with a rough idea of when they were scheduled to appear during the live show.

The marathon is also a chance to fundraise of the show. Many fans of Hoopsville ask often how they can give to the program so we can continue doing our work into the future. In the first few years of the Marathon, the fundraising side was an important aspect. However in the last few years, we have shyed away from fundraising as we tried to find other means to financially run the program. After requests from many, we are do have a few ways fans can contribute.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch the entire Marathon show LIVE in the video player above. We will effort to turn around podcast episodes of the entire show. They will be available to the right (after the show is off the air).

Guests appear on the Hoopsville Hotline presented by BlueFrame Technology.

And don't forget to interact with the Dave and guests. You can use the social media option to the right and even email (dave.mchugh@d3sports.com) questions to the show.


When it comes to the game of basketball, we love celebrating not only the student-athletes in Division III, but also those who help carry the game forward sometimes outside of the spotlight.

Sunday on Hoopsville, we celebrate those who have made the game of basketball, especially at DIII, so great. Coaches who continue to excel in different parts of the country and programs who play for more than just themselves.

I have a rant about Northeast Sports Network (NSN), and how they charge fans to watch archived versions of their games.  Tonight's Tufts v Bowdoin game is on NSN, but I will not be able to watch it live due to a Brandeis home doubleheader vs CWRU going on at the same time.  I am shuddering at the prospect of paying $10.59 after tax to watch an archived stream of Tufts v Bowdoin next week.

 Prediction:  Tufts by 6 tonight. Bowdoin lost more by graduation than Tufts since they met last.

Bowdoin and it isn't close.

I'm one of two people voting Bowdoin No. 1 in the poll.

That's my pick, but it'll be close. :)

ronk

 I think you'll change by the end of the game, Gordon. Great game at the half, worthy of a top 5 battle.

saratoga


Good call Ronk.

'Bowdoin & it isn't close"???

Not sure that that call will win you a trip to the prognosticator's HOF.

By the way...truly a great game.

Absolutely 2 of the best teams out there right now.

ronk

 My over/under  was off by 90 points, however.  ;D

gordonmann

Great, great game.

Both teams played at a really high level. I much prefer that to 36-35. :)

Hats off to Tufts. I've never seen them shoot like that before. They've now beaten two highly ranked teams in two very different ways. I spoke with Coach Pace after the game for our game story.

I've a feeling these teams will see each other again this season, at least once more.

That 2005 Bowdoin-Scranton game that you mentioned in your story was the best that I've witnessed previously, mainly because it was an NCAA tourney Elite 8 game and in person. But tonight's was very, very close in excellence.

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh

That game was awesome. I thought Bowdoin, especially being at home, would have that game especially the way they have been playing .. but wow Tufts came out gunning. Despite the score, I was also impressed with the way Bowdoin's defense would help them make runs at Tufts ... but they couldn't do anything about that shooting.

Not sure that game turns out that way if both teams have an average night from the floor, but that game lived up to the billing and was fun to watch.

And it was closer than the final score ... Tufts just hit FTs down the stretch and Bowdoin missed it's chances at the line.

Tufts is clearly the number one team in the country, but I am not sure I drop Bowdoin further down than three (understanding Hope would move into #2).

Ronk:

I had the same reaction. If someone asked me what the greatest women's basketball game that I've watched in person, I'd probably go No. 1 Hope versus No. 2 Howard Payne in Texas with both teams undefeated and a Final Four spot on the line. The stakes where higher in that game, but last night's game was better played.
