Sorry I can't read I see they are finals

I just caught the end of the HSU broadcast.  I guess I should have kept listening for the post-game commentary.  Did UMHB play really well, or did HSU have a bad night -- or both?  And what does this mean for the McM-UMHB matchup on Saturday?  UMHB is now guaranteed 4th place in the tournament and is too far back to reach 3rd even with a win, so will they play hard to try to maintain their momentum, or slack off to avoid any injuries before heading to MC?

MC defeated UT-Dallas by about 76-71... not quite sure of the final score...it was close.

   Wow, that's a big loss for HSU.  Momentum, the mental edge, confidence - all are shaken by that one!

Someone asked about the Cru and how they played.  I heard the end of the game and I "believe" I heard the announcer say UMHB shot 71% in the second half many 3 ptrs.

Ralph,
Where did you hear about the MC-UTD game.  We couldn't find it anywhere on the internet.  The final score was MC over UTD, 77-71.

Seems like HSU might be missing their point guard's leadership.  Even at that, it's hard to beat a team that shoots 71%! The loss will surely shake some confidence but I'm betting they will bounce back.  They have played too well since Christmas to run amuck now.

I caught the first half of the Men's Game (Comets-Chocs) and asked someone.

UMHB, I was afraid will be tough at home. They are playing with alot of heart and have been improving for some time. I don't care who a team is, if you are shooting 71% in the second half, I don't think anyone will beat you with those stats. I got the call in Austin last night, about the Ozarks player that was killed in a car wreck. He was on the roster earlier in the year, but his twin brother is the one who was playing. I work with their aunt, yet another family to pray for and there isn't anyone who hasn't been touched in this conference this year. I have always heard it comes in 3's. Lets hope and pray we are done.

So I guess if UMHB pulls off another upset against McM that makes HPU the #1 seed from the West side since they defeated UMHB twice?

It's amazing how one gym and 2 schools has such a big impact on next weeks tournament seeding.

GO CRU!!! make it an Abilene sweep.

We defeated UMHB the first time around, they just played a tough game. I don't think that's gonna happen this time. I think McM has the lock on first in the West because we beat HPU by more than they beat us. Right? I'm no mathmatician but I think that's the case. IF we tie with HPU. But I believe McM ladies will pull this one off. Unless UMHB shoots 71% again.

[dballa]

Well the way they look at it with the tiebreaker point differential comes after they look at the records between teams in the division. 

If it came before the records then McM would have that advantage since they beat HPU by more than HPU beat them.
