IF UMHB wins the National Championship (and since they're not presently in the top 39 in votes), will they be rated #1 in the final poll?

Even if they do loose, it shows the ranking system isn't very accurate.
As clearly exhibited by the fact that No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 made the Final Four.
I guess 3 out of 4 is acceptable

And to think that UMHB wasn't even ranked in the top 25 teams nationally!
Not even in the top 39 with votes! The BB teams in the South (both men and women) have never gotten the respect they deserve. NCAA DIII is so heavily weighted in the North and East, that the South gets overlooked. I think it would be great for UMHB to win the championship. I wonder when the last time, a team ranked (unranked) so low won the championship? Even if they do loose, it shows the ranking system isn't very accurate.

I agree. Just because it was a larger program, doesn't mean there was more support from administration and fans.

UMHB picked up good head basketball coach for their women's program. Lisa Curliss-Taylor. She re-built ETBU just a few years ago, then got a job at Univ. Missouri St Louis (D2). I'm sure she'll get MHMB turned around and competing for the East soon.

He moved to Nebraska to be closer to home (Iowa). I'm sure if there's a D1 opening in the midwest, his name will be on the list.
They won last night (32-2). They'll be playing in San Antonio next week. It would be something special to win a national championship in different divisions.

For those of you that remember Coach Chris Kielsmeier who coached the 2007-2008 HPU women's national championship team, he is now at Wayne State College in Wayne, NE. His DII team is currently ranked #1 in the nation, and if his team wins tonight, they will be traveling to San Antonio next week for the Quarter, Semi and Finals for DII. His team's current record is 31-2.

The difference may just be due to increased parity as CTX and other schools improve, or maybe ASC teams just aren't getting the talent anymore.
Just my opinion, but the HPU team that won the 2008 DIII championship would have beaten any of the top teams in the conference this year by 20+ points. The combination of Meia Daniel, Kim Hoffman, Stacy Blalock, etc. was dominating inside and outside. The McMurry team that year would have done the same. I do believe overall there is more parity now in the conference. Those 2 teams were just exceptional.

I guess I was wrong about HSU, since they got a good lead on UTD and then saw it disappear in the second half of the game. Did Jasmin Thomas play?

I think Schreiner has the potential to upset UTD in the first round. Could be only the teams from the West still playing after the first day.

Being a senior, I'll bet Jasmin Thomas (starting point guard) will be back in the line up at the tournament. She's probably the quickest player on the team. Loosing to HSU wasn't that bad for HPU. It put them in the opposite bracket of LC.

Someone at the game said that one of the players came in injured.
I know our starting senior guard didn't play in the game. She must be the one that was hurt.
What happens if McMurry beats Sul Ross, and HSU beats HPU? Does McM win the tie breaker with HPU since they beat HSU twice and HPU split with HSU?

I'm sure the Lady Jackets will be ready. Hard to win a game with 30+ turnovers and poor FT shooting today.

HPU started 0-4 in conference last year, got things turned around, then won the conference championship. They have more depth this year than last. I believe it's a matter of time that they'll get cranked up and headed for another title. Looking forward to the games this weekend.

Terrible timing for the McMurry
