Conference Tournaments

[rlgyank]

Thanks, a lot of good info there.

I believe the WIAC would be in the Central region though, not the West.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Per our page ... we should have it up and running soon. As Ryan indicated, Gordon does a lot of the heavy lifting, though we all try and help out.

And obviously the UAA isn't just in the Central, but I think we all know that (you just have them listed in the Central).

I worked most of the afternoon to get the text of the tracker updated with all the new tournament formats across the country.  The way the system works, it's easiest to load the teams once they're determined tomorrow.  Four conferences begin tournament play tomorrow, so it's a tough call on how and when to make it live.

The link is updated now, I believe.

It is now or never.

The last week of the Division III basketball regular season is here. Conferences will decide who will earn automatic bids to the NCAA Tournaments and teams try and position themselves for at-large bids, hosting opportunities, and bracketing considerations.

For teams who have been faltering, this is the last chance to right the ship. For programs which have underachieved, this is the last opportunity to live up to expectations. And of course for those with Cinderella dreams, this is the chance to try on the glass slipper.

Sunday's Hoopsville will cover it all in a special, extended, episode which for the first time (outside of Marathon programming) will feature a guest from each of the eight regions. We will also discuss which teams may be on the bubble, who has most likely secured at-large bid, and which teams need to win the AQs. Plus, we talk about how regions as we know it now could very well change in the future.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Sunday's show will hit the air at 6:00 p.m. ET. It can be watched live right here: http://bit.ly/2EeG5ZE (and simulcast on Facebook Live and Periscope).

If you have questions about Division III basketball, feel free to send them and we will answer them on a the show. Email them to dave.mchugh@d3sports.com or use any of the social media options below.

Are we going to be updating this thread this year??  NESCAC field is set after Wesleyan's win over Bowdoin this afternoon.

[Pat Coleman]

Better to start a new one, but yes, for sure. Trackers are being worked on and we will be ready for this weekend!
