I cant believe MC just lost that game.  Two HUGE mistakes cost them late.  Get a steal with right at a minute left and instead of bringing it out the PG attempts a bad shot and misses, and then we gamble and try to steal a pass and dont get it and leave a guy who has already made 4 3point baskets wide open and he knocks it down.  Give UTD credit, they won the game by making the choctaws pay on those mistakes.  That was the first time ive been able to watch a game this season, not really seeing Haywood as possibly the best player to ever play at MC, was hoping to see more out of him.  We look like we have a nice mix of players though, hopefully we can pull out the championship in the conference tourney. 

so was I.  I really do think they should put a bid in though, their arena is really nice and big

I hope i spelled that correctly

And I forgot about phenomenal food!

I didnt know that good music, churches, and history was not the spirit of D3.  Is the spirit of D3 to have no fun and experience new things, new culture and maybe have a little fun? What are you talking about?  That was a dumb statement. 

They will have a great recruiting base you would think but they havent worked it very well as a member of DI so i dont know....

Now that UNO is going DIII, is there any chance of them joining the ASC or maybe even teams from the ASC East splitting and making their own league? They could add Centenary and Huntingdon(sp?) with UNO, MC, LET, ETBU and LC and maybe UTT and have an 8 team league.

Also, i know the arena at UNO maybe the biggest and nicest in DIII, they should make a bid on the DIII final four.  Who wouldnt like a trip to the French Quarter for 3 or 4 days!

Frank, is the O'Rear kid going to play this year? did he get playing time last year? he obviously is having a pretty good year in football for you guys

I believe UNO suspended all athletics for next year.  If they come back to athletics it will have to ge at the NAIA or D3 level.  I know thier basketball facilities will be the best or close to the best in either level. 

Doesnt the ACC and SEC count crossover games in conference standings.  I am not sure but i know they do in football.  I don't care that LC is mathmatically out of it.  This is not rec. ball or a rec. league, its college basketball, it doesnt have to be fair and try to keep everyone even.  Recruit better and coach better.

Surprised everyone is picking LET over MC.  I would rather be the underdog at this point.

Yeah he came in and did a very nice job.

Chris, what number is Coleman?  Johnson is very good and i can definately see where missing him makes a difference in those games.  Also, UMHB had a open 16 footer to win it after the player missed the one on one contested shot.

Whew, I was worried about this one.  Did not want to lose to a cross town school. 

I kind of hoped that stupid comment would bite Cru in the behind.  Never call out a Choctaw

Thanks for the info Chris.  I was hoping we had some injuries or something.  Thats amazing that last year was the 1st time we havent been in the championship game.  We just need to stay in the top 4 and make the tournament and anything can happen.  Coach Lofton can get the team where they need to be.  Trying to get up for the court dedication game and will see you then. 

P.S.   The board is hopping today
