For those who were able to play basketball this fall, Division III opponents were few and far between. But a few schools were able to find Division I opponents -- multiple Division I opponents, and got their mettle tested. Ryan Scott has more in Around the Nation.
Trying to play college basketball during a pandemic isn't easy. We chat with coaches who have found games for their programs. Hear the challenges and steps each are taking to play. This is the first of three podcasts tackling the Coronavirus Pandemic in Division III.
Ryan Scott returns for another season of Around the Nation, with news of a conference which could ban a team from the conference tournament if it gets too many technicals, plus a recruiting trend extended and a big offseason win for an assistant coach.
From "The Rivalry," to a 346-point game, and upsets a-plenty, it was another crazy weekend in Division III basketball. Tune in to a special edition of Hoopsville on Monday evening as Dave tries to cover everything plus look ahead to the first regional rankings. Show begins at 7:00 p.m. ET.
George Barber, the head men's basketball coach at Greenville, made the controversial decision to let his team go for 200 points on Saturday against Fontbonne. Here he tells D3hoops.com why he made the call.
Calvin and Hope went down to the wire in the 200th meeting of The Rivalry, and Greenville scored 200 points. In addition, three players reached the 2,000-point plateau in Saturday's Division III men's basketball action.
Whether it is Mother Nature or the schedule, there always seems to be a stormy patch or two for teams this time of the season. How they deal with travel or schedule changes and how to handle the sudden surprise of a tougher-than-expected opponent. Find out more about it all on Hoopsville - watch On Demand or listen to the podcast.
Bubble teams could breathe a little easier after Ramapo, Wittenberg and Plattsburgh State took care of business on Saturday afternoon. Plus it was a banner day for Bethany Lutheran, Greenville and New England College which are headed to the Tournament for the first time ever.
The job of building the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournament brackets falls on the shoulders of 16 coaches and administrators who volunteer their time, despite often having their own teams to lead. Ryan Scott takes you inside their process in this week's Around the Nation.
Fontbonne and Greenville set a new Division III single-game scoring record on Wednesday night when the Griffins outlasted the Panthers 164-154 in overtime. The 318 points breaks the record of 315 set by Grinnell and Simpson in 1994.
Some call it an gimmick but Grinnell's system is more than 20 years old and here to stay. In fact, it has spread to Tennessee, Massachusetts and Illinois and even made an appearance in the NBA D-League. Ryan Scott gives you an in depth answer to the frequent question, "They scored what?!"
On Sunday night's Hoopsville, Dave McHugh talked to some teams who have emerged from no where to be in a position to surprise when their conference tournaments begin. McHugh also talked to a few teams who can't seem to be knocked off their conference pedestal, but still feel they have something to prove.
