Hoopsville is back! We are back on the air for the 21st season of covering Division III basketball. Though not without some major technical difficulties that derailed what was supposed to be a great season opener. We did hear from John Krikorian of D3hoops.com Preseason No. 1 Christopher Newport, but unfortunately other guests we planned to have on the show did not work out. Though we did have plenty of news and notes from the offseason and first week of this season to catch up. We are just warming up for the season. Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com.

It was an incredible weekend of basketball in Division III. Semifinals and one championship game lived up to expectations. And there is still one more title to be crowned. On the men's side of the Division III world, the weekend in Fort Wayne was terrific. Three great games, comebacks a plenty, drama, and one of the more incredible final minute (if not ten minutes) in the history of Division III title games. It was the perfect finish to an incredible season. On the women's side, the semifinals did not disappoint. Comebacks as well, drama and strategy changes, and it leads to the first-ever #1 v #2 battle for the national title with both teams undefeated. And we will recount it all on a special matinee edition of Hoopsville. Guests appearing on the Hudl Hoopsville Hotline: - Pat Coleman, D3hoops.com Editor-in-Chief - John Krikorian and Ty Henderson, No. 1 and national champion Christopher Newport - Gordon Mann, D3hoops.com Managing Editor - Juli Fulks, No. 2 Transylvania women's coach - Bill Broderick, No.

80 minutes. 2 games. That's now all that leaves 8 programs from being crowned national champions - and there will be new champions in both men's and women's basketball. For the first time in seven years, two programs from the same school are in the final fours. For the first time since 2009, no teams on the women's side return to the semifinals. The men feature a rematch of a 2019 semifinal battle. For the second year in a row, a single-sex institution has a program in the final four. There are four first-time programs playing in the semifinals. One program isn't receiving a single vote in the Top 25 while another is unranked but receiving votes. And only one of two undefeated teams can go undefeated for the season. All interesting facts and tidbits among the all the programs that will be featured on Thursday's Hoopsville. Watch On Demand or listen to the podcast as we chat with all eight programs who have earned their way to their respective semifinals. Guests appearing on the Hudl Hoopsville Hotline: - J

80 minutes. 2 games. That's all that leaves 32 teams from realizing their goals and getting to the national semifinals. 24 programs won't make it. It is a gut-wrenching time of March. Teams who have battled their way to the second weekend of the bracket can see the semifinals tantalizingly close. However, the majority will have their seasons come to finish short and the emotions tend to be raw. On Thursday's Hoopsville, we will chat with some of the programs still battling with hopes of playing for national titles.
