PROVIDENCE, R.I.-The No. 1 resource for Division III basketball, D3Hoops.com, recently featured two Little East Conference weekend matchups in the latest edition of the weekly "Around the Nation" profile.

WORTH WATCHING:

UMass Dartmouth at Keene State: Don't pass up the chance to watch the nation's only unbeaten Division III men's team, which visits Keene State in what should be an electric atmosphere. UMass Dartmouth survived a "trap" game by beating Tufts midweek, and if it can get past an Owls team looking for a pick-me-up kind of win, it has an excellent chance to get through the regular season unbeaten.

Women's
Eastern Connecticut at Southern Maine: The Huskies have won 78 straight at home, 11 straight overall, and 15 straight against Eastern Connecticut, but the Warriors present a formidable challenge. In their first meeting this season, Eastern Connecticut was up eight points, but USM's Stacey Kent came through with an Ashley Marble-like effort, scoring 15 points in the final seven minutes to get her team the win.
