Hoopsville

Dave McHugh chats with newly appointed Division III Coordinator for Officials Jim Haney to discuss the new position and expectations moving forward in a special Hoopsville Preseason Podcast.

Ray Martel of D3hoops.com interviewed WashU women's basketball coach Nancy Fahey ahead of the Bears' semifinal appearance in the 2001 NCAA Division III women's basketball championship weekend in Danbury, Connecticut. WashU would go on to win their fourth consecutive national championship in Danbury that year.

Hoopsville: Sectional Thrillers by Dave McHugh

The Division III NCAA tournaments have already seen their fair share of twists and turns. Both defending champions eliminated on the opening night, several home teams beaten, off-the-radar squads tearing Top 10 teams apart, and much more.

It has been an exciting start. What's next?

Can the home teams parlay a perceived advantage into a Championship Weekend appearence? What Cinderalla team will hear the chimes of midnight? What program will continue to make history? How will the battle of Top 25 teams shake out? And will a storied career end this weekend or in Salem?

There is plenty to talk about ahead of the Sectional Weekend and Dave McHugh had a super-sized list of guests on Thursday night's Hoopsville.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio.

Guests scheduled (in order of appearance):

- Brian Morehouse, No. 18 Hope women's coach

- Trevor Woodruff, No. 17 Scranton women's coach

- Craig Carse, Hardin-Simmons men's coach

- Ruth Sinn, No. 2 St. Thomas women's coach

- Michelle Ferenz, No. 16 Whitman women's coach

- Kevin App, Williams men's coach

- Grey Giovanine, Augustana men's coach

It is a pretty common cliche this time of year, but it seems to be proven more often than not: survive and advance.

The opening weekend of the NCAA Division III tournaments was all about survival. Some top "seeds" were knocked off, hosts couldn't hold court, and some teams proved why the other adage is also correct, "that's why they play the game."

On Sunday night's Hoopsville, Dave McHugh recapped a wild and crazy opening weekend of games before then trying to get a sense of how the Sectional Weekend might turn out. Dave interviewed several of the coaches involved in some upsets and even found out why for some it was expected. Dave will also answer the ever so popular question, "why is so-and-so hosting."

The NCAA Division III tournaments are set. We know the which 128 teams will be playing for national championship glory and who they will be playing on Friday to get things started. But there were some surprises, maybe some controversy, and certainly a lot of questions.

Today on a special edition of Hoopsville, Dave McHugh is joined by colleagues as they answer questions, try and understand some of the decisions made, and maybe even point to some of the more interesting games to watch. They will answer questions from fans and maybe come up with some of their own.

Dave will also talk to both committee chairs, Bobbi Morgan (Haverford women's coach) and Kevin Vande Streek (Calvin's men's coach) later in the show.

We are midway through what is always the craziest week of the entire season. Teams are already hitting the at-large bubble and that is already popping some other team's hopes of making the NCAA tournament. Upsets are everywhere and it promises to continue.

On Thursday's Hoopsville, Dave not only recapped the crazy week, but looked ahead at what might happen this weekend. Plus, Dave and others looked at the last regular season Regional Rankings and tried to read the tea leaves. Just who may be safe and who already is in trouble on plans to be playing in March.

Dave also talked to a team making waves. The Union men's program is in their first conference finals in 11 years and helping turn the East Region on its head. Plus No. 20 Salisbury's Andrew Sachs joined Dave immediately after the Sea Gulls thrilling double-overtime win over York (Pa.).
