Hoopsville

The time is now. Teams who want or think they should be playing in March need to get the job done now. This week all conferences, except the UAA, will dive into conference tournaments to determine who will win an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship Tournament. For those who can't win the AQ, then they have to make sure to present the best resume possible to the national committees and that means taking care of business the best they can.

Who is in and who is out? We will figure that out over the course of next week and on next week's Hoopsville Special. In the meantime on Sunday's Hoopsville, Dave McHugh talked to a few teams who are looking to position themselves to be in the conversation. We also previewed many of the conference races and looked at who may already be in trouble when it comes to playing basketball in March.

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

A reminder the Sunday edition of Hoopsville primarily covers the Northeast, Atlantic, South, and Central regions, but we will answer any questions about all of Division III throughout the show. You can also send your questions to the show and have them featured on the Hoopsville Mailbag segment. Email them to [email protected].

And please consider helping Hoopsville stay on the air like you might help your public television station.

The Division III season has officially entered "Crunch Time." Regular season schedules are wrapping up, conference tournaments are about to begin, teams are jockeying for conference position or trying to win home-court advantage. And it is all happening the uncertainty of whether NCAA tournament berths are available for a lot of teams.

On Thursday night's Hoopsville, Dave McHugh not only took another look at this week's Regional Rankings, but also tried to read the tea leaves. He also chatted with four teams that all still have something to play for. Whether it is to better position themselves in the eyes of the NCAA committees or just to turn more heads in their conference tournament, these teams are still pushing to continue their seasons.

The focus of Division III basketball now turns towards the second Regional Rankings. At the same time, conference regular seasons are wrapping up and the pressure of conference tournaments is increasing.

Teams are still trying to jockey themselves for the chance to keep playing in March, but sometimes focusing on March causes teams to lose focus of the next game. Upsets and trip-ups seem to happen often once Regional Rankings start coming out.

On Sunday night's Hoopsville, Dave chatted with teams who are hoping to remain on top of their conference standings and thus eventually punch their ticket automatically to the NCAA tournament. But what about the distractions? What about the pressures? Or has it become somewhat routine for some teams?

The first Regional Rankings have been released and with them comes what appears to be the usual chaos - upsets, near misses, unexplained losses, etc. The first rankings also bring with them plenty of questions: what do they mean? What teams are in trouble? Who may be in surprisingly good shape? And they also change the scope of conference races.

On Thursday night's Hoopsville, Dave McHugh hoped to tackle many of these topics especially with some of his guests. McHugh talked to coaches from the East, Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes and West regions. Some are in good shape and others know the pressure is to secure an automatic bid.
