The ETBU Lady Tigers are well on their way to collecting their third non-conference win with a comfortable 37-17 half-time lead against in town rival Wiley.  A win would run their record to 6-3(3-3).

Nice to see McMurry Ladies move up to #18. Austin College and the Ozarks will not be push overs by any means. We cannot look ahead to the HPU game. I know we will be ready. I am looking forward to seeing the girls play, seems like it has been a month since I got to SEE a game. HSU only dropped one spot, but thats good for the ASC, right Ralph?

ETBU dominates Wily 81-46.  The Lady Tigers were led by freshmen Mary Slaughter of Athens, Louisiana, who had 18 points and 15 rebounds.

fanstand, I agree with you.  The voters think that we have at least 2 good teams (HSU hanging in there 13 votes out at "#26"),  and MC and Trinity are also in the "receiving votes" category.

If I am going by the "form chart", I see that HSU has 8 games until the McMurry rematch.  They play at HPU; all of the others should definitely be winnable.

If McM and HSU go on a run, they might climb some more.

Gotta get by HPU tho'!

As a measure of consolidation around a core 25 teams, I see only 225 votes left over from the top 25 vote getters.  When you consider that a voter has a ballot with 25 places on it 1-25, s/he has 325 votes to cast (1+2+3+...+25=325).  7900 of the total 8125 votes were cast for the Top 25 vote getters.  That is coefficient of .97230. (97.230% of the votes going to the Top 25 votegetters.)

The Top 25 is getting more consistent through the season.

Simpson 64 #23 Luther 32!

HSU might creep back into the Top 25 next week!

Does anyone know the score for the Austin College-McMurry game?

[Ralph Turner]

The server is not broadcasting the game.  I have tried calling my sources.  I will post whenever I hear something.

Thank you!!! I guess since school is out no one is there to do it-- I have emailed but haven't had a response.

Thursday final:

HSU  92

Ozarks 70

[mcmfan]

McMurry just beat Austin College 80-50.  They were pretty sloppy at the start, but by the end Sam had everyone on the bench in the game playing.

Yes HSU will get back into the polls next week.
And yes they must prove if they are good enough for the post season by first beating HPU.  Possible but has to be seen.  They could have a great game with McM at home.  But then there is the conference playoff.  They have to win that to make the playoffs.  For now the only team that could lose the conference and make the playoff is MCM.

By the way though I am in California I cheered greatly the Texas win last night.  Living in northern cal gives you an extreme distaste for anything from the south.
We say with some affection that USC stands for university of spoiled children.

It was very easy to be a UT fan last pm.  I got tired of all of the celebrity-cum-football player hype.

The real truth is that Vince Young took a Texas team that trailed by 12 points with 5 minutes left and smash-mouthed USC in their own backyard!

[Ralph Turner]

McM fan, please keep the updates coming!

[calhsu]

Follow up on the polls.  So far this week four top 25 teams have lost a game.  Lots of room for upward movement.


I only watched the last 11 minutes of last nights game (church night) but that was all I needed to see of the texas quarterback.  Even my daughters who never watch football were amazed by him.  They later consoled their friends who are all big USC fans.
