Not the ending to our run that we were hoping for but it was a respectable showing.  Couldn't really buy a bucket today but played great defense.  Cowgirls will be back next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Is there a problem with the live feed for the consolation game?  I'm getting nothing.

McM had a great year.  They won the West title.  They had the best record in McM history.  They were the team to beat for most of the games played.  That is a terrific accomplishment.  And no one can take that away from them.  However, HSU has done something no other ASC team has.  They may have gotten in by the back door but they have proved they SHOULD be in the running.  The girls did think their season was over in Mississippi and did a lot of soulsearching.  When Hauk went down, she was the team's leader.  Two days later, the team gets the news that Conaway's sister was killed.  These girls are a very caring bunch and it was kinda like they were shell shocked for the next few games.  According to the weekly press release, no one was READY to step into Hauk's shoes.  When the powers that be decided to give HSU an at-large bid, all the girls had something to prove.  Mentally, they were changed.  Cisneros has had a terrific tournament.  And, fanstand, I do know how it is in Abilene.  HSU does get a lot of press coverage and the press didn't mind sharing the losses either.  There is a lot of competition for air time/print coverage when you have 3 colleges within a 10 mile radius.  Since you were in Mississippi, did you see the McM girls STANDING AND CHEERING for ETBU when they beat HSU???  Or after the sub-sectional game, Coach Nichols heading to the locker room without shaking the HSU girls hands?
On another note, sometimes they give awards that don't make sense.  Danielle Furr (from SulRoss) got the ASC defensive player of the year award. Hauk had more steals and assists in less games than she did but Furr scores more points. The coaches or whoever votes for these awards don't take into account things that aren't in the stat book -- like leadership, hustle, or shutting down an opponents top player.
