Hoopsville Dave McHugh

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.

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.

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. We even hear from some of the student-athletes trying to achieve something bigger for themselves, their teammates, and their programs.

Two and a half weeks ago, we revealed who the national committees tabbed, at the time, were the Top 16 Ranked teams. And in what feels like the blink of an eye, we are down to just 16 teams remaining for both men and women's NCAA Tournaments. Time flies.

Join us on Monday's Hoopsville as we recap a terrific, and wild, first two rounds of the NCAA Tournaments. The upsets, the finishes, the battles. There was very little that didn't keep fans of DIII basketball engaged.

The NCAA Division III Men's and Women's Tournaments and brackets are set. Our mock selections crews went 19 for 20 in both men's and women's sides of things. Not bad, though not the perfect score we were aiming to achieve.
