Hope you didn't decide to take a night off or two from games? You would have missed some important results. While Wednesdays and Saturdays tend to be the big "nights" of any week in Division III, games on any night could have major ramifications.
The algebra this time of year is both simple and complicated. Conference schedules, for the most part, have moved into the second half and teams seeing teams a second time sometimes have an advantage. Rivals, of course, have an advantage. There are also distractions as some teams have been sitting on mostly empty campuses for several weeks and may be bored. Or second semester classes are beginning and changes to schedules can be an abrupt adjustment. There are also long road trips that can take a team's focus. Plus, the weather. Yeah, Mother Nature loves changing things around.
All of it can lead to upsets or strange outcomes. From blowouts to close battles. On any night, you are bound to see something you will be chatting about the next day.
Speaking of which, are you on the "Posting Up" chat boards? Head on over to D3boards.com and check out the "Posting Up" section. Find your favorite regions, conferences, or topics and join the chat. Register if you need. The more the merrier!
Thursday's show includes guests from a couple of the hottest teams in men's basketball: Capital and Swarthmore. We also hear from an island squad and find out if the Whitman women's upset of George Fox should have been a surprise. And Springfield's Naomi Graves chats about her push for diversity and experiences and how it's affected her program and Springfield as a whole.
Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch Thursday's show On Demand in the video player above or listen to the audio-only podcast to the right.
