So any of the McM fans know what Puget Sound likes to run? How does HPU matchup agaisnt them?

I know Ralph offerred some suggestions already, having seen Puget Sound play let me offer a few as well.

I would agree that HPU needs to run, run, and run.  They will tire out, however their coach does a decent job of using her time outs and subs.  I think the focus of the game needs to be HPU's defense.  If, which I am assuming HPU will, plays their 2-3 zone, HPU needs to stop their penetration.  UPS does a good job of penetrating and moving the ball around to get decent looks.  Be aware they all can shoot the three, even their post #50 will step out and not be afraid.  With the fact that the game is now on a neutral court, I think UPS can keep it close and hang with HPU.  I think HPU's athleticism and quickness will be the deciding factor.  I don't think UPS has someone that can stop Daniels.

Hope that helps Seth.

Good luck

The NCAA, National Communist Athletic Alliance will always do what ever it can......D-1 or D-3 to mess around Texas teams. They (NCAA) have a long history of not respecting teams from Texas. While Schools from around this great country come to Texas and sign players, the NCAA and its east coast inbreds have really just done what they always do.

Any D-1 schools ever had the "death penalty" for violations...just one, SMU.
Now there are many schools that have been on probation several times. Several "storied" thug programs stay in the lime light with help from the NCAA.

MCM blue devil:

thanks for the UPS info  for us  HPU fans.  I know it will not be easy, but HPU can certainly get it done.

I think HPU was robbed of the chance for hosting, BUT if they can emerge from this weekend it will be a good tune up for the final four run.  If they played at home the entire playoffs, they may not have been ready for the change of atmosphere that the final four site would bring.

There you go McM93....I was trying to find the bright side/silver lining.  I knew it could be done...just took more work than I was prepared for.

UPS is apparently big and physical, just like HPU.  It should be an interesting matchup, though I wish it were in Brownwood so that I could see it in person.

I saw that UPS doesn't have any player averaging 10.5 points per game. Obviously they distribute the ball well, and numerous players score around 8 points. But how good are they defensively?

You guys might want to vote in the survey on the front page.

Thanks Pat!

Had we done our part, the Sweet 16 would have been here dang it. I wanted to complain some more about the paper!!!!!!

If McMurry had made it, and HPU gotten the sectional, I was personally bringing a truckload of paper if I had to--unfortunately it did not happen.

[fanstand]

With over 4,000, I guarantee, someone, somewhere, went without.  I wasn't there, so I don't know for sure.

HPU is a tested road team.  All of the travel they do in the conference -- (granted it is not to Iowa), they are ready.

Take the "show on the road"!!!!!!

See you in the Final Four
