WBB: American Southwest Conference

Kinda on the subject, kinda off - McMurry folks can buy tickets after 1 p.m. Thursday (Judy's Office) for the HPU game we have 200 student tickets and 200 adult tickets right now. That doesn't mean there won't be some at the gate - and if we were to sell out at McM, we'll notify HPU's A.D. and they'll hold some for us - NO WORRIES!

I do hope more McMurry fans make the trip this weekend than they did for the regular season game. It was pretty sad not seeing a section filled with McMurry students. It's a lot more fun hearing chants from both sides.

From what I've read, there will be no tickets sold at the Coliseum. They will be sold on Saturday at the Colisum annex across the street, so don't go directly to the game and expect to buy a ticket.

I have been out of pocket, and really have tried to stay out of trouble by keeping my mouth shut. Last Sunday they played better. My only response is .......................... LIB - I believe...........................

fanstand,

We played better last Sunday? I thought we needed the win against Trinity precisely because we played poorly last Sunday, losing by a greater point spread to HPU on a neutral court than we did during the regular season at the Mausoleum. Last night made up for that.

Incidentally, who decided to have the game Saturday at 7:00? That might make sense on a weekday when students are in class, but this is a weekend. And it would have been a real hardship for the Trinity folks if they were playing instead of us -- they would either have had a long night drive back to San Antonio or would have had to stay over in a local Brownwood motel.

They is (HPU)

JACKET84 · March 06, 2008, 04:52:55 PM

I believe the host team gets to decide the game time.

Oh.

How many other things are you McM fans going to gripe about other than the actually game? I was hoping to hear some opinions on matchups and what McM or HPU would need to do to win the game?

golfniz1 · March 06, 2008, 05:51:11 PM

mcmfan please stop complaining at least McMurry is still playing. There are a bunch of teams who would love to be playing Saturday or night so please spare us the agony. I do not believe the time of the game will have any bearing on who wins or loses the game.

According to the Handbook on page 32, the recommended time for this game is 7pm local time.

SETH HPU

We are not griping, at least this McM fan isn't. It will be an uphill battle for us. We have to be effective on offense and for the most part we have struggled with that against you guys this season. Maigen needs to have game like she had last night.

it will be tough for us...but we have nothing to lose

golfniz1 · March 06, 2008, 06:24:59 PM

It is going to be a great ball game. I feel that HPU is going to have to come out and play some tight aggressive defense and have a 50% plus shooting night to have a good chance of winning the game. Mc is a good basketball team, but like HPU have their weaknesses and if HPU can exploit them who knows. It will be a good one to watch.

Ditto!

I was so happy for Tarra and her accomplishments. She is in very select company of players who have 2000 points, 1000 rebounds, 300 blocks and 200 steals. (I need to confirm how many steals Ronda Jo Miller from Gallaudet had in her career.) Maigen Sawyer's 1000 points at McMurry were a great way to finish her home career.

I want to win on Saturday. What is more, I want the ASC rep to win the whole thing.

That boosts the entire conference. I posted earlier that I thought that UMHB would win 20 of the 39 conferences, that HSU would win 25. Furthermore, I think that UT-Tyler would win about 20 conferences and CUA, MissColl and UT-Dallas might win 15 conferences.

Travel safely everyone! I think that the ice should be melted in the DFW area by Saturday.

I don't think it will be a close game. HPU by 15-20
