[lcwildcatfan]

Congratulations to Tallisha Givens for her performance against Birmingham-Southern that won her player of the week for the East side.

This Friday they Millsaps.

Guess everyone thought I would go away, SURPRISE, I'm back..........just returned from the LIB game. McMurry won by 30 or so.  Got some talent and looked pretty good.  Been watching lots of high school and jv basketball, so college hoops looked pretty good.  My opinions just won't go away.......

Hey fanstand!

How did Berthel, the sophomore transfer from West Texas A&M, do in the post?

Livestats

This is the first season for the University of the Southwest. 

Good outside shooting by Callie Williams and Allison Nelson.

McM LIB 88, University of Southwest 58.


We get a real test against Wayland Baptist on Saturday.  WBU is 3-1 and has beaten D-2 Texas A&M Kingsville, 58-56, but lost its last game to NAIA-1 Langston OK 51-47.  (TAMUK was predicted to finish last in the LSC South.)

Fanstand, 

Good to see you from a distance last night.  I thought L.I.B. looked pretty good, although tough to tell against a under matched Southwest team.  I did like the fact that it looks like we can go a bit deeper than the last couple of years.  Berthel in the post looked good and has a lot of talent and potential.  Ashley Stephens off the bench looked  good.  Someone else who impressed me was #15 Hailey Stacey, deceptively athletic and I believe has potential.

Saturday will be a good test for us.

I like the new post, she has big shoes to fill.  She will get better and better as the season progresses.  I really liked the depth of this team.  Love Nelson playing the guard position.  Was really impressed with both Williams' shooting last night. Erica Rawls had good minutes and Ashley Stephens played well.  I always expect my teams to finish 1st, and I always believe they will.

Lady Wildcats played a great game last night. I think the young team is finally coming together. Freshman pg Roslyn Wilmer had a great game going 5-5 with 14 points, 4 boards, and 4 steals.  LC also had 3 others scoring in double digits: Taylor Henderson 5-6 with 14 points, Krystle Hunter 6-10 with 14 points, and Tillisha Givens 5-8 with 10 points.

A stat that really sticks out is that they had 18 assists. Their offense was working. Really moving the ball around.

They have a break then a big roadtrip ahead them as they head to Abilene to face the probably the best two teams consistenly over the years.

HPU 62 Colorado College 48 in their second game.

HPU was down 27-19 at the half.  Too many turnovers and missed free throws.

Wayland Baptist 64 McM 58

WBU moves to 4-1 on the season.  McMurry falls to 1-1.

[DavidNichols]

Lady Choctaws move to 2-0 by taking care of an inferior opponent, 82-52.  Kelsey Hopkins led the way with 15 points on 6-6 shooting from the floor.  MC shot 61% from the floor with Rosemary Green only playing eight minutes.  MC faces cross-town rival Millsaps on Tuesday night at home at 6:00 p.m.  The Majors fell on the road in overtime to a tough Piedmont team, who made the NCAA Tournament a year ago.  The Lady Choctaws get into ASC play on Saturday when they travel to Abilene to face Hardin-Simmons.

Good weekend in the ASC-East...

In the Fred Jacoby I-20 tournament,

UT-Dallas beat UW-Platteville on Friday 78-64, but lost in OT to #23 St Benedict 67-75.

UT-Tyler beat #23 St Benedict (CSB) on Friday 81-70 in OT but lost to UWP 80-74.

UMHB beat Southwestern 57-53 in the West.

UW-Platteville is predicted to finish 6th of 9 in the tough WIAC.  I cannot find a pre-season poll in the MIAC for the women (CSB).

[SabineBBall]

I saw 3 of the 4 games at UT Tyler.  UTD and UTT both looked good the games I saw.  I can't imagine how UTT lost to UW-Platteville (the one game I missed).  #23 St Benedict had a 6'4" girl and were a solid team.  UTD missed a free throw with 7 seconds that would have put them ahead before falling in OT.  If Miss and Louisiana college are as good as these two the east will be a battle.     

[PatriotASID]

UT Tyler was without Marzetta Shepard (at a funeral) and Melissa Thomas was still feeling the effects of a tough hit from CSB in the UWP game.  Not excuses, just facts.  The Patriots had trouble finding a groove in the early part of the 2nd, and although they rallied late in the 2nd it was too late.  Ralph, I could not find a MIAC poll either, but I know CSB was ranked 20 in the WBCA poll and 23 in the D3hoops poll.  Also, I saw where MC trounced Millsaps, 99-70, tonight.  From the results so far, I too think we are in a horse race for the East title.
