WBB: American Southwest Conference

[gccfan]

Ralph, I was actually at the Padre Island tournament and was praying for the HPU-Messiah match-up but no dice... Instead, both teams just whipped up on a couple of opponents.  Kind of disappointing when it would have been a great national match-up.

Latest on the LIB: They have arrived safely in Oregon, are doing some practicing today and are going to a Blazers game (to get inspired?) tonight.

I don't know how much inspiration they can get from Portland vs Charlotte but it should be a fun experience for them where they can bond, relax and enjoy the night before the tournament starts up.

This is what hosting a conference tournament or even a weekend of NCAA playoff action can do for a town.  Sorry for not shortening the link

Yeah, actually the LIB might have more wins this season than Portland and Charlotte combined, but we'll have fun at the game nonetheless. We'll let you know if we see M.J. in the visiting owner's box.

Instead of them inspiring us, maybe we could inspire them!  In any case, make sure everyone knows we're thinking of them and will have our radios (or computers) on tomorrow night.

$122,000?   How much does a new basketball court and an ample supply of toilet paper cost?

All I know is the nation better know that the road to the final four has to go through Texas!!!!!

I think maybe y'all need to take back what you said about the Blazers.  Ask your players how much fun they had at the game with 15,000 other fans watching Portland whip up on Charlotte 127 to 90.  They would have even won a free Chalupa because the Blazers hit 100 points in the third quarter.

Thanks to LIB for a great season and to all of their ladies for their service to McM. Last night Puget Sound was able to offensively move the ball and get open shots.   they we able to penetrate, drive and then find the open player, it did not seem like our zone was ale to adjust.   Their size was a hindrance to us on the defensive endand against their zone as we could not hit shots.

These ladies are credit to McMurry on and off the court.  It was an honor traveling with them.

Puget Sound just defeated George Fox--now the Loggers get Howard Payne--a shot at doing the 1-2 knockout on the ASC powers.

Like the old saying: "If you can't beat them, join them!" 

I went to the HPU-CHapman game and it was an unbelievable atmosphere.  That place was packed full.

HPU played better than I had seen them the previous times and I can guarantee Chapman didn't know what they were getting into.

Who ever comes to Brownwood, you better be ready because the fans, players and atmosphere will be ready for you.

Great win for HPU and the ASC!!!!!!!!!

Looks like HPU got screwed out of hosting the Sweet 16.  The games are going to be played at Luther.  I hope they realize saving on flights will cost them $20 to $30,000 in gate money.  How much can Luther actually bring in money wise for the NCAA? 


STING 'EM JACKETS!! show them you can play at home and on the road.

I know I say UMHB but if you have read MY POSTS I am a HUGE HPU fan.  Does Washington bus to LUTHER?   If so, then for 2 flights instead of 3 they lose that gate?    4,000+ attendance!!!!  IS THAT IT?  IS IT LESS THAN 500 MILES from St. Louis?  What is going on!!!   Ralph, or some other ncaa guru--help me please.  I had to go to my nephew's wedding in Arkansas and missed Saturday and I was SO excited about this weekend.  What HAPPENED???  I got 2 calls from the game and they said the atmosphere was amazing!!

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN GEORGRAPHIC "REASONS" TO ME?
