WBB: American Southwest Conference

Thanks Dballa...You may be right, but I'm still sceptical!

I just called McMurry Dballa...They say the games this weekend WILL be on the radio.  That's 1560 A-M or on the internet trough www.mcm.edu.

I like that fanstand...Pungent Sound!  

As for McMurry, Leon and Greeley Myers are on the call!

I wish they had video streaming.

First impressions on UPS, they are tall but I wonder if they can run.  We had Stout running in Georgetown.  If they could run at 5'11", they would be playing D1 somewhere.

If we make the key defensive stops, as LIB knows it must, we can neutralize the height.

Ralph, thejungle, thanks...hopefully i'll get to listen to it..

I tried to find radio for Chapman and La Verne but couldn't find anything at all..

maybe someone else can find something on them..

I think that the SCIAC is using D3Scoreboard for its reporting.  Altho' not a SCIAC member, maybe Chapman will have Livestats going!

THE JUNGLE:

I may have gone a little over the top with the "reputation" comment, but I was getting pretty tired of all the talk from a few MCM folks making excuses. They just lost--in my opinion to a better team.  It was not all the refs or even all HPU's defense when you shoot 5 of 28 or whatever it was in the second half. When it is my team's turn to lose, I will try to restrain myself  I hope and be at least somewhat objective.

crufan:  If you'll look back at the posts, you'll notice that I never make any excuses for the McM loss.  I simply want HPU to do a little better about seating for the fans.  Honestly, I don't say that from a "we could have helped our girls out" point of view...Simply a selfish one:  I want to see the game closer, and with my fellow fans.

HPU won that game.  Why?  Because they're a darn good team.  Because they are supremely confident.  Because they are extremely well balanced. 

There's been a lot of talk on this website from people saying they are NOW ASC fans.  It's not just talk.  I remember last year sitting with my wife trying to figure out how we could afford a 1,000 dollar airline ticket to Massachusetts to see HSU in the final four.  I REALLY was a HUGE fan of HSU last season about this time...Even though I'm a McMurry graduate.  If HPU makes a run, you can bet I'll be sitting in front of the computer listening to the game on the internet...And wishing I could have afforded the ticket to go the game myself!

I TRULY say "Go ASC!"

Good post, Jungle!  There really are some folks coming around to "ASC Proud" while maintaining devotion to their own favorite team.  I really have come to the point that I can honestly cheer for HPU - and as some have pointed out that is a long way from where I once was!

I know it's premature and all but right now I'm looking into reserving tickets to the Final Four.  There are some decent deals out there but being around Spring Break doesn't help.

I wouldn't miss seeing the Lady Jackets play in the Final Four for anything. 
They just need to make it there so I don't have to worry about any non-refundable tickets

Buy the tickets and then let the girls know you will meet them there.  That, my friend, is a commitment that can spark some spectacular play.  This could be their year!  A good start to attending the Final Four would be to make sure you have courtside tickets to their next game!

Go Jackets!  Put the Jacket Sting to everyone all the way to a national title!

dballa, you buy that ticket......when it's LIB going to the final four, I just buy it off of you, for a discount!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But about the fouls Sunday--total fouls were 12 to 18--at least 2 if not 3 of MCM's were at the very end on purpose, so 12 to 15-16 is not much ESPECIALLY with the  style of play I mentioned before.

What you've said about the style of play makes sense, but where are you getting the foul figures?  I read 9 free throw attempts for McM and 32 for HPU from the stats page at http://www.hputx.edu/FileUploads/07ascg7.htm.   At the risk of showing my ignorance, for I'm not a hoops specialist, how are you coming up with 12 and 18 for the respective teams?

[Rick Akins]

Jungle: was not really talking about you as far as the game itself--that was a very good post--I had not even THOUGHT  about the Final Four  and tickets, but it is certain one of 15 teams in our "region" will go, and 2 of them are ASC teams from Texas!!

[dballa]

mcmfan those were the total number of fouls HPU 12 and McM 18.  The numbers you have are the total number of foul shots.

[Rick Akins]

mcmfan:

On the link you attached  the line PF is personal fouls and shows the 12 and 18 I mentioned.  Now obviously a lot of HPU's were non shooting fouls and a LOT of MCM's WERE shooting fouls.  Hope that helps.
