137. WCC Commissioner Stu Jackson sounds off on NCAA Tournament and more

It is an annual event. The regular season is officially over and teams eagerly wait to see where they may be playing in the NCAA Tournaments, but it is different this year. We know who has made the tournaments, so there is a bit more time to look at where teams may end up on those brackets and where they may play.

Tune in to the annual Hoopsville Selection Sunday Special hosted by Pat Coleman tonight (Dave McHugh is away on a business trip). Pat will have interviews with teams who have clinched their bids automatically or may be nervously waiting to see how the final NPI numbers work themselves out for at-large selections. Plus, hear from both national committee chairs on the landscape they see in front of them and their committees as they try and bracket with new priorities and perspectives.

22.9: Selection Sunday Special

The NCAA Division III Men's and Women's Tournaments and brackets are set. The new NPI was the source of all the selections and mock brackets had different ideas than what were revealed. So how did the national committees come up with their brackets and decisions on who to play where and when? Plus, we hear from teams dancing in the tournaments for the first time in a long time.

Tune into the Hoopsville Bracket Breakdown as Dave McHugh is back in studio and rolling his sleeves up on the national tournaments. We chat with both national committee chairs about the brackets. We also talk to four hoops programs who made some waves in the final days and weeks of the regular season and are still playing in March.

It's all part of a special Tuesday matinee of Hoopsville presented by D3hoops.com.

The boys will play for the sectional on Friday, while the girls are headed back to the state finals thanks to two dominant efforts over the past week — in one of them, star Aubrey Galvan went bananas. 
We also recap New Trier boys season that ended Friday, and special state performances from local wrestlers and swimmers.

Suddenly the Division III Men's and Women's Basketball Championship Tournaments are down to sixteen teams, each. It's a known result each year, but it's still stunning and the results this past weekend were equally as stunning.

Tune into Hoopsville presented by D3hoops.com as we talk to those who either dominated or survived through regional play. Most of those we talk with today were either pulled off at least one upset or once again proved they know how to win in March.

And five years ago, the DIII tournaments, like everything else in the world, ceased. Teams were ready to play the next round of tournament games, but instead went home. It left so many "what-ifs" and predictions on who may have been crowned 2020 National Champions. D3hoops.com Around the Nation Columnist Ryan Scott took the time, shortly after the shutdown, to prognosticate how he would have seen the tournaments play out.
