First post here  ;D

To answer your question MCMFAN...his last name is spelled Kielsmeier...yeah, pretty annoying d3hoops can't spell the D3 Coach of the Year's last name correctly!!!!   :P

We actually fixed it on Saturday based on the earlier posts in here.

It's pretty annoying people can't bother to inform us of errors that have been on the site for years. If it escaped everyone's notice here for five years, including HPU fans, then how are we supposed to know?

HopeConvert please excuse me  for the wrong info I posted, but if Im not wrong again they are still in there tournament and my info could be true before it is all said and done.  Oh well nobodies perfect are they?  I bet not even you. Did you attend the games this past weekend or sell your tickets like alot of the other posters from Hope?  The games were great and very entertaining. All the teams played hard and represented their colleges well all the fans from each of these schools should be proud. Hope College and Holland Michigan did an outstanding job in hosting this tournament.  HPU 33-0 now that is perfect. ;D

Just curious about what any HPU fans that went to MI this past weekend thought of your experience there.  Did the "Dutch" treat you decently?
Do you know how tough it was to arrrange the snow just for you? :)

Beautiful community; amazing facility; and wonderful people.  Not to mention, some outstanding basketball.

Personally, I'll take a good 'ole Texas heat wave  :P over lake-effect snow any day, but my wife ansolutely loved seeing the snow.  I suppose it's genetic, after all before we got hitched, her last name was Vander Zee.  :)

Using HPU as a measuring stick, HPU is #1, Hope #2 and McMurry must be in the Top 5.

Are you sure you're using HPU as the measuring stick?  It appears McM is always your point of reference.  ;)

Nevertheless, I absolutely agree with your assessment.

I think that we have seen the model to win it all.

The HSU, the McM and the HPU previous iterations (pre-2007) had deficiencies in the post.  (I will appreciate Chad Grubbs assessment as well.)

I think that Coach Kielsmeier had the "complete set of tools in the toolbox".  The national teams with the exception of Hope were similarly out-classed by HPU.  I believe that we could make a strong case for McMurry to be ranked as high as 3rd and most definitely 5th.

The thing that stands out for me is the HPU depth in the post...at least 4-5 players in the rotation is preferable.

As for next year, I like HSU and UMHB on the West and UT-Tyler on the East.  I am not sure what MissColl and LaCollege can bring in.

McMurry is losing three to graduation and maybe a 4th as well.  (Mission accomplished!  ;) )

come on Ralph... i think your forgetting about Schreiner!!!  ;)

sorry, that's just mean.  ;D

Pat looking at the final Top 25 for the women I would say that hits it about right on.  It's good to see Hope at 2nd because I thought talent wise they definitely would have won it all if they hadn't hit our road block in Brownwood.

No problem. And I'm sure my wife would be more than happy to provide you with a list of my many imperfections.  ;) Given that I'm spending the semester in DC, I didn't have tickets to the games at DeVos. It did make it easier for me to get to Salem, however.

Do you know how tough it was to arrrange the snow just for you? :)
Top 10 reasons for a trip to the Final Four (in Holland, MI):

    1.   Holland hospitality
    2.   Apple turnovers at Russ's (I think that's where we had them)
    3.   DeVos Field House – great facility and friendly folks
    4.   The offer to sled in the snow on cafeteria trays (I didn't want to sit with wet kids through the championship game so we passed, but kudos for the offer – very classy and thoughtful)
    5.   Writing in the snow- An "unknown" group posted "HPU" in the snow, followed by "Finish it", then after the game and extra "ed" was added to "finish" and no one messed it up
    6.   Fans – All the fans were great.  I set by a gentleman at the first game who did not have a tie to any of the schools, just wanted to see some good basketball.  Also, the clothes left in the bath room unguarded by the purple guys from UWW stayed there for over 3 hours – can't say I  wasn't tempted with all the snow outside. 
    7.   Kim, Meia, Stacey, Sarah, Sarah, Hope, Elaine, DP, Katy, Stephanie, Mionca, Makiesha, and Tiffany.
    8.   Great defense
    9.   Falling snow – OK this isn't really a plus, it took us almost 6 hours to get from Chicago to Holland in the falling snow...but it did make a memory and we did make it for the first game.  I was very impressed with the snow plows and the efficient way in which the snow was handled.  Here in Texas we just hole up for a few days and wait for it to melt.
    10.   Building a snowman with the kids while it is 75 back home.

Some interesting notes about the legacy of the four HPU Lady Jacket seniors.

Over the past four seasons, HPU won an astonishing 109 games and incurred only 12 losses.  Of the 12 losses, the point difference in 9 of the losses was 6 points or less, of which 3 games were decided by only 3 points, 1 game was decided by 2 points, and 3 games were decided by only 1 point.  The 3 remaining losses, decided on point margins greater than 6 points, included a 77-68 loss to MC in Clinton, MS – the ASC, East Champion that year, a 64-48 loss to McM in Brownwood – the ASC Conference Champion that year, and a 73-64 loss to HSU, a Final Four team that year.  In addition, over the past four years, these seniors only lost in Brownwood on 4 occasions, and never, at home, to the same team twice.  :o
