It is that unique time of the season where a lot of programs hit the pause button to make sure students can focus on exams. So we will do some studying ourselves.

On Thursday's Hoopsville, we chat with programs around the country who are not only getting graded well for their seasons so far but have high expectations themselves. What can we learn as we hear from coaches in Minnesota, Texas, New York, and Washington, DC? Plus with holiday breaks ahead, we learn how teams plan to negotiate the stops and starts and all the good food. Plus, a bit of a surprise as the first night of Hanakkuh has arrived.

Guests appearing on the Hudl Hoopsville Hotline:
- Matt Donohue, No. 21 Catholic women's coach
- Laurie Kelly, No. 8 Gustavus Adolphus women's coach
- Jason Leone, No. 4 Oswego State men's coach
- Jimmy Smith, No. 23 Trinity (Texas) men's coach

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com.

This is a show dedicated to Division III basketball called Hoopsville. It is the only show of it's kind in the world. We cover the biggest NCAA division with the most teams (well over 850 men and women combined) in the country each week with weekly or twice-weekly content. Stay tuned throughout the season and through the championships in mid-March.
