Hoopsville Dave McHugh

The 2023-24 Division III Basketball season was exiting from start to finish - even if some parts turned out as expected.

On the first off-season Hoopsville Podcast, Pat Coleman, Gordon Mann, and Ryan Scott take time to look back on the season with Dave McHugh. Each have a favorite moment, surprise, and something they will remember about the season that was. Plus, what will each be looking to ahead of the next season.

Plus there is plenty of news to try and get up to speed on. The Coaching Carousel is spinning and garnering some headlines, the American Southwest Conference continues to be dismembered, NPI/Pairwise is passing it's way through Division III, and schools closing continue to damper things.

We have our champions! Congratulations to Trine and NYU on their national championships.

On Monday's Season Finale of Hoopsville, we chat with the two champion programs. Meg Barber and Megan Bauman of NYU along with Brooks Miller and Cortez Garland of Trine react to what they accomplished not only this past weekend, but in the national tournaments, and especially their entire seasons.

We will also talk to the two Jostens Trophy winners - announced earlier on Monday. Tyler Dearman from Guilford and Aleah Grundahl from UW-Whitewater will talk about the honor along with what stood out about their Jostens Trophy resumes. Plus we hear from the Chair of the Jostens Committee about what makes the award so special and his thoughts on this year's recipients.

On Thursday's Hoopsville, we chat with a number of teams on the road this weekend. Most of the teams will still be traveling when we hit the air, so we will touch base either on the bus or just after arrival with some.

In the matter of what seemed like the blink of an eye, we have gone from 64-team tournaments to just 16 teams remaining in both the Men's and Women's NCAA Tournaments.

On Monday's Hoopsville, we chat talk to programs who are still dancing. Some may have surprised and others are living up to expectations. However, the pressure continues to ramp up and the difference between the dream continuing or waking up, is razor thin. Hear how teams are reacting to getting through the first weekend and preparing for the next round. Plus we hear from at least one student-athlete rewriting the record books.

Plus, what games (besides all of them) will we keep a closer eye on this weekend. And there is already other news to talk about in DIII.

And Dave reacts to the Transylvania president's "letter to the NCAA president" and other reactions to something DIII can try and fix, but also keeps screwing up.

The NCAA Division III Tournaments are here. We are on the eve of March by also taking an extra day to get ready this February.

On Thursday's Hoopsville, we hear from several programs in the tournament including those who surprised and those who punched their own tickets. Where was Stockton's head coach when he found out his Osprey's squad was still playing? Did the Cobbers have a feeling they were in the tournament when they gathered Monday? What does it mean to student-athletes to still be playing in March?
