Hoopsville

The NCAA Division III Men's and Women's Tournaments are ready to tip-off. And after about 36-hours, each bracket will be cut in half. What surprises await?

This is one of the best weekends of the year.

Tune into the Hoopsville presented by D3hoops.com as Dave McHugh takes one last look at the NCAA Tournaments ahead. Hear from coaches around the country preparing their teams for the biggest game of the season to date. What do they think will be the key to still be playing next week? And we look at how the game, expectations, and desire can take a toll on everyone, including those tasked with guiding young men and women.

The NCAA Division III Men's and Women's Tournaments and brackets are set. The new NPI was the source of all the selections and mock brackets had different ideas than what were revealed. So how did the national committees come up with their brackets and decisions on who to play where and when? Plus, we hear from teams dancing in the tournaments for the first time in a long time.

Tune into the Hoopsville Bracket Breakdown as Dave McHugh is back in studio and rolling his sleeves up on the national tournaments. We chat with both national committee chairs about the brackets. We also talk to four hoops programs who made some waves in the final days and weeks of the regular season and are still playing in March.

It's all part of a special Tuesday matinee of Hoopsville presented by D3hoops.com.

It is an annual event. The regular season is officially over and teams eagerly wait to see where they may be playing in the NCAA Tournaments, but it is different this year. We know who has made the tournaments, so there is a bit more time to look at where teams may end up on those brackets and where they may play.

Tune in to the annual Hoopsville Selection Sunday Special hosted by Pat Coleman tonight (Dave McHugh is away on a business trip). Pat will have interviews with teams who have clinched their bids automatically or may be nervously waiting to see how the final NPI numbers work themselves out for at-large selections. Plus, hear from both national committee chairs on the landscape they see in front of them and their committees as they try and bracket with new priorities and perspectives.

The final push is here. In just days, the Division III regular season will be over and just 128 teams will be left to play for two national championships. It promises to be a furious finish.

On a matinee edition of Thursday's Hoopsville, hear from some of the programs hoping to either secure a place in the NCAA tournaments or secure a higher seed to enjoy some home court and cooking. Plus, we chat with one program not afraid of a close game or a last second shot.

And we take a look at the latest top seeds per NPI, updates to the coaching carousel, and more on Thursday's edition of Hoopsville presented by D3hoops.com.

The final week of the Division III basketball season is here. In less than seven days, there will only 128 teams who know they will be playing in the NCAA Tournaments while some programs have already seen their seasons come to an end.

On Monday's Hoopsville, hear from teams not only playing their best at just the right time, but could end up taking a few of those NCAA Tournament berths away from others which will need an at-large berth for March.

Plus, new Top 25 polls are out, we review changes in the Top 8 and 16 seeds, and so much more on Monday's edition of Hoopsville presented by D3hoops.com.

* our segment with Drew Long broke up in the middle due to the streaming/production computer crashing suddenly (no warning). We apologize for how it impacted our interview with Long. We did have him on when we restarted things, but we lost time and opportunity to chat further about the team.

Hoopsville is once again home to the Top 16 Seeds reveal in conjunction with the D-III national committees. Get a preview of who could be hosting and how brackets would come together if the NCAA Tournaments started this weekend. Also hear exclusively from both nat'l committee chairs.

Also on Thursday's edition of Hoopsville presented by D3hoops.com, hear exclusively from both DIII national committee chairs on how the NPI system has worked within their committees along with what they are already looking at in terms of bracketing opportunities and challenges. Which teams may look like they could host but may have to hit the road? And why the term "protected seeds" doesn't mean they are guaranteed to host.

It was a very popular addition to the countdown to the Division III national tournaments and it's back, exclusively on Hoopsville.

Also stay tuned after our conversation with the committee chairs for a look at conference races that could alter the Top 8 and Top 16 seeding even in the final ten days of the season. Plus, we look at some of the dark horse teams you should be watching closely for how they can alter the DIII bracket landscape. We hear from a few of our experts and put our toe into the water of who is a lock and who is in trouble of moving in and out of coveted seed placement.

Less than two weeks remains in the regular season. Conference races to determine conference playoffs are finishing up and teams are trying to figure out their chances of playing in March.

On Monday's Hoopsville, we chat with a few programs who have wrapped up regular season conference titles or positioned to do so this week. And we once again bring a couple of more coaches on to not ask them about their own programs in this week's 'Dos Reverse' segment.

Every season there are programs that draw attention by playing above (other's?) expectations. However, by mid-February many of them have whilted in conference play. But not all.

On Thursday's Hoopsville, we chat with four programs which have gotten stronger and with weeks left in the regular season may be position to continue playing in March. What is working so well for some programs who aren't always in the spotlight? And are they woefully underrated?

Plus so many games, conferences races, and more to recap all on today's matinee edition of Hoopsville presented by D3hoops.com

Time is ticking down on the season. There are under three weeks remaining until tickets will be punched and in three weeks the NCAA Tournaments will be set. But a lot can happen in those three week.

On Monday's Hoopsville, we chat with teams trying to best position themselves in conferences races to both win a conference title, but also punch their ticket to the NCAA Tournament. And what's it like when your program has an equally-as-talented program in the other locker room?

The 2024-25 season has seen quite a few programs emerge as threats to win conference championships or be a national contender that maybe even the experts did not expect to be so competitive. And how has adjusting to the National Power Index working? What should we expect as the NPI numbers start to roll out and bracketing starts to appear on the horizon?

On Thursday's Hoopsville, we talk to a handful of programs making, maybe, unexpected waves. Just how are those programs managing their seasons, expectations, and now everyone else's best efforts?

Plus, we sit-down with the men's and women's national committee chairs. Hear how they have adjusted to using NPI, what the role of the Regional Advisory Committees (RACs) have evolved, how bracketing will take shape (and what we may have learned from fall sports), and much more.

It is all part of a supersized edition of Hoopsville.
