Hoopsville

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 caos in their conference, and chat with several programs having milestone seasons and not letting up.

And we aren't done there!

In Part 2 we merge our weekly Top 25 Double-Take show, normally only available for Hoopsville Members, into the live show and available to everyone. Bob Quillman joins Ryan Scott to discuss their Dubious, Deep-Dive, and Debatable selections from this week's Top 25 men's poll. Then Scott Peterson joins us to discuss the women's Top 25, but in a twist we chat about the five most improved teams this year plus a 'lighting round' of 10 (or more?) teams we blindly throw at Scott for his thoughts (anyone you want him to talk about?).

Part 2 guests appearing on the Hudl Hoopsville Hotline:

- Ashley Branch, Franklin women's coach

- Top 25 Double-Take:

- Men's segment: Bob Quillman & Ryan Scott

- Women's segment: Scott Peterson

Also in Part 2 we will also recap some of the decisions DIII membership made at least week's NCAA Convention.

It's a new year and it's time to start Hoopsville anew! There have been great games played during the holidays giving us plenty to talk about, including some unpleasant headlines.

On Monday's second-half season debut of Hoopsville, we will drop in on a few programs that have hit the unofficial midway point in pretty good shape. Plus, we recap some of the games, results, and notes that stood out in the last few weeks. A new Top 25 is due later in the day, so we can take a peak at what may change - including if any of the teams we chat with may make an appearance.

It is the season of giving and a season where there is plenty. For some Division III teams, they seem to have plenty to go around. Wins, points, tenacity, and more.

On Monday's Hoopsville, we will check in with a few teams that are almost always in the conversation nationally, but all for different reasons. One powerhouse has remained consistent in an ever changing game. Another known for their defense, is now trying to find offense with a young squad. Another has a tradition of 1000 point scorers over the generations. And another never seems far from talk of winning another title.

Exam period is a time to find out how much students have learned in the semester. Seems a good time to check in on exactly that, though final grades are not due for two-and-a-half-months.

On Thursday's Hoopsville, hear from programs from far and wide on how they grade their seasons so far. Some may have higher marks than we are accustome while others seem to be getting extra credit. Plus, what can we learn from these programs that we will want to review come February?
