With the way that the women* count the inter-division games, this season is almost over in the East.

If UTD beats HSU on Monday evening, then they might have a 3-game lead before any intra-division play begins. (HPU sees that the handwriting on the wall;  UTT is tough!  UMHB and CTX are fighting for the 4th playoff slot, as are HPU, McM and HSU!)

I agree with playing the inter-divisional schedule, especially if the AD's and Presidents want to fill the schedules with D3 opponents, but counting the games towards the divisional title almost makes the Spring Semester moot. 


*The men do it the same way...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to everyone!

LC won both games this week against two NAIA teams (Wiley College and Dillard University).

Tillisha #32 and Christy #12 both posted double-doubles against Wiley in a 75-64 win this past Thursday. It was our first game after coming back from Christmas break. Today I think Christy was our leading scorer with 16 points. Tillisha I think had 9 points and 10 or more rebounds.

Our big test comes this Thursday when we play UMHB at home. They are second in the west right now with a 4-1 record. LC has yet to lose at home this season. UMHB game is HUGE!

Congrats to Tillisha for winning conference player of the week for the second time this season. She also landed herself a spot on the D3 player of the week team.

Well the first half of the Abilene (just for you Ralph lol) swing went well.  Starters did play major minutes and hope that doesn't affect us too bad on Monday.  Seriously doubt the East race is over even with a UTD win Monday but I see your point on it adversely affecting the standings.  Of course making pretty much the whole season conference games makes the whole season very important.  Hopefully HPU can do us a favor and beat UTT.  I plan to watch that game and it should be a good one.  Schedule sets up nicely for UTD after HSU with next 5 games at home before they visit UTT/LC and and MC in consecutive games!  By the way when do the new rankings come out (Monday or Tuesday)?

[Ralph Turner]

The only thing about the Abilene Death March (  ) is that there is not a 3-hour bus trip between the pair of games!

Since the women host the tourney this year, I guess that I need you to beat HSU to give our rivals another loss.  I also think that I need UTD to continue to win for the sake of (South) regional rankings.

Lyndsey Smith is a real find.  UTD is almost a perfect fit for her, but if someone wants to offer an athletic scholarship, then I am happy very happy for her!        ; 8)

I think that the next Top 25 comes out on Monday night/Tuesday.

[SabineBBall]

UTD is loaded with talented freshman.  Most aren't getting much playing time but they will make their mark in the coming seasons if they stay together.  UTD doesn't have a single senior this year either.  Conference may have to deal with them for a while!

Well the UTD website called it the abilene "sweep" after the win against HSU so I guess we have a new name for it (couldn't resist ralph).  Has any east school ever sweep the west in a regular season?  From the history of the league it looks doubtful but just wondering.

I think that is correct.

I also believe that Polly Thomason was a member of the last ASC-East team to make the NCAA's.

Not a single ASC-East team has made the NCAA's in the 21st Century!

At UTT 61 HPU 58.

At UOz 58, Schreiner 53 from UOz live stats.
