2014-15 Around the Nation columns

April 2, 2015 2014-15 season by the numbers From 3 to 11,800, there were a lot of key numbers in the 2014-15 Division III basketball season. Rob Knox runs them down for us.

March 11, 2015 Beware: Defending champs even more fired up now For the entire season, FDU-Florham Devil was a fixture at the top four of the D3hoops.com Top 25. But they're not hosting this weekend, and they're less than amused.

March 4, 2015 Closing down the Coles Center It's a unique venue, buried several stories below the streets of Manhattan, but the Coles Center at NYU, site of many memorable moments, is getting a last hurrah for Division III basketball this postseason before it gets replaced.

February 19, 2015 Caltech finding basketball is something to talk about It's been a February of positives for Caltech men's basketball, which actually has multiple wins to talk about. One might even say the Beavers are making winning a habit.

February 12, 2015 D-III's top rivalry, from the other side Calvin-Hope is a hotly contested rivalry, no matter which teams are on the floor. For the women, the rivalry has been going for half a century, and this year, the rivals haven't lost to anyone but each other.

January 29, 2015 Behrend flying high below the radar The Lions shocked Division III basketball by knocking off Hope in Holland last March. But this year, they're back in their customary spot, safely out of sight in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference.

January 22, 2015 Case on the radar Case Western Reserve basketball players find time to study at a major research institution, practice and play basketball, travel and tutor in Cleveland area middle schools. Plus notes about St. John Fisher, Stevenson and more in this week's Around the Nation.

January 14, 2015 Tigers tearing it up The Trinity Tigers ended last season with a disappointing conference final loss and started this season with a pair of losses in Oregon, but have been on a tear ever since.

January 7, 2015 Hampden-Sydney's been everywhere, man The Tigers have played games from coast (and off the coast) to coast this season, and it's been a fun ride so far.

December 11, 2014 Tell it to the Judges Brandeis was already moving in the right direction, despite a poor record to start the season. But the Judges' win at Amherst on Tuesday night was impressive. Plus items on Keystone, Westminster (Mo.), George Fox and more.

December 3, 2014 Put last year in the past One season after playing for a trip to the national title game, North Central stumbled en route to a 14-11 finish. But the Cardinals have put that behind them so far, and have a key piece back in starting out the season with four wins.

November 13, 2014 Back for another season It wasn't the best of offseasons for FDU-Florham, but the Devils are still No. 1, with the target on their back. And it was a great preseason for Southern Maine, Augustana, St. Thomas and more. Around the Nation is back!
