  • 23.24: Complete Chaos
    Complete Chaos. Not sure there is any other way to describe things in DIII basketball right now. Not just on the men's side, but even the women are seeing unexpected results and upsets almost nightly.
    And extra day before this week's first show doesn't necessarily mean we had more time to digest it all. On a Tuesday edition of Hoopsville this week, Dave chats with programs who are trying to stay above the fray even if some took their lumps recently. And some waiting in the wings to pounce on let doesn in conference play. What will it take to survive the final month of the season let along the madness of March.

    This is the first of several conversations we will have with the national chairs this season and was designed to be one that set the base for future, more in-depth, conversations.

  • 23.22: Stormy Season
    While a massive winter storm blanketed much of the country, and Division III, with a mess ... it has gotten every stormier on basketball courts around DIII.
    On a special Tuesday edition of Hoopsville, we try and shovel our way through an absolute insane week of basketball. The new Top 25s had a lot of movement and some of the teams we talk to this week are the reason. Hear from one program who knocked off the number one team and conference rival, another whose squad is now in control of their conference due to other upsets, a program back in the national conversation with a similar style of player, and another quietly playing it's best basketball in years.

Dave also has his '2-Cents' on the idea of dual hosting. And we will go over other news and notes including the ongoing saga involving Heidelberg women's basketball.

  • 23.18a: Super Size - Part 1
    Six weeks remain in the 2025-26 basketball season. In 42 days, both 64-teams NCAA Tournament brackets will be set, but there is a lot of games to decide plenty between now and then.
    Monday, we super-size Hoopsville by combining Monday shows into one . We will chat with one of the more prolific scorers in DIII history, talk to a program helping cause chaos in their conference, and chat with several programs having milestone seasons and not letting up.
    And we aren't done there!
