We won't have our Final Four teams in Division III women's basketball for a couple weeks, but we have our first four teams in the 2024 NCAA Tournament. New Jersey City, Brooklyn and UW-Stout joined top-ranked New York University in the Big Dance by winning their conference tournaments on Friday night.
After 20 seasons guiding the Brooklyn College Women's Basketball program, Alex Lang will be stepping down as Head Women's Basketball Coach, ending a historic era for the Bulldogs. Lang will continue with Brooklyn College in his role as Associate Director of Athletics. The Bulldogs are coming off of completing a three-peat as CUNYAC Champions, making their fourth trip to the NCAA tournament in five seasons, and extending their win-streak to 46 games against conference opponents. Lang ends his 20-season coaching career with 340 wins, the all-time leader in CUNYAC women's basketball. Coach Lang's legacy puts him in an elite class of coaches not only at Brooklyn College and the CUNYAC, but in the entire NCAA. A replacement will be announced in the near future.
"When I arrived at BC in 2002, I was determined to turn the program around and achieve greatness," said Lang. "Seeing those goals achieved has been amazing and brought me a sense of accomplishment and pride, however, it is the people who I have worked with, coached and mentored over the years, and the memories that we share, that I cherish most of all. Stepping down from coaching is a difficult decision, but I am confident that the program will continue to flourish. What we have built here is bigger than me, it is the culmination of so many incredible student-athletes and coaches who sacrificed for the good of the team and made Brooklyn College Women's Basketball what it is today."
The first two bids to the NCAA Tournament were clinched within a few miles of each other when New York University and Brooklyn wrapped up the UAA and CUNYAC titles. Elsewhere, Pacific popped someone’s bubble, UW-Eau Claire rallied past UW-Stout and the ASC had two buzzer beaters
Brooklyn is still top dog in the CUNYAC and UW-Eau Claire seized the WIAC’s automatic bid in Friday night's conference tournament action. Elsewhere Wittenberg busted a bubble, Anja Smith saved Augsburg and the ASC had two thrillers in its semifinals.
Brooklyn captured the first of 84 automatic bids to be handed out this weekend, then the Montclair State women and Staten Island men followed shortly after that. Elsewhere twin upsets in the MIAC will pop someone else's bubble elsewhere and Eastern Mennonite kept going for Kirby.
As the season continues to march along, we continue to see more and more twists. There aren't many more answers despite being about halfway through the season. Sunday nightt on Hoopsville, we continued to cover the UWSP investigation and checked in with teams from the Northeast, Atlantic, South, and Central regions.
