Sometimes, I hate it when I am right, and my predictions about 2-3 losses may be true at least in the West. I have not seen every game, but have seen the biggest portion of the in town games, but still believe in the LIB. Where is everybody on this board?? All the old stand bys have seemed to gone quiet.........except of course for Ralph. Where oh where is dballa, jacket84, calhsu, everybody gets quiet when they aren't kicking a##### and taking names. Even me....

Box score UTT 61, HPU 58

UTT only goes 6-deep on the team. HPU is going 10-deep with solid double digit minutes for those 10 players.

How did UTT beat y'all?

It looks like the key to UTT will be to get into their bench.

Fanstand,
Others are here, just not posting because I at least don't have much to say. I haven't been able to figure out the LIB except that they seem very inconsistent. They either play very well as in the win against UTT, or awful as in the near-loss to LC. Different people step up in different games, which is good, but no one seems to be someone who is consistently good, like, say, Bo Warm on the HSU team who is nearly 100% getting points if you let her get open. So, if you get a game where no one manages to step up, you're in trouble. Maybe the team just has yet to jell with the new players. I'm optimistic for the future, but I can't see any obvious line of development yet.

I saw the game and I am not sure why UTT didn't use bench much. At least one girl didn't play that was starting earlier in the season. HPU just doesn't have that go to player that gets them a bucket when they need it (not just talking about at the end of the game either). Neither team shot the ball well. UT Tyler played zone alot which was a surprise and it seemed to slow both teams down. I don't think HPU expected the slower pace that UTT ran compared to earlier in the season.

Yeah, how do you replace D3 player of the year Meia Daniels?

In the absence of Tarra Richardson, McMurry is getting solid play out of the remaining cast of characters, and have configured their game around new post Anna Berthel to complement the remaining talent. McMurry may be filling that void more easily than HPU is filling Daniels.

(In some respects, it seems to have been harder to replace McM all-American point guard Symbri Tuttle in the 2007-08 season. Nevertheless, the 2007-08 team did very well, especially winning the first round playoff game versus Trinity!)

MissColl 63, LaCollege 60

mcmfan · January 15, 2009, 07:41:21 PM

Amber Horton has left the McMurry team. Since she was our top scorer so far in the season, averaging 14.8 points per game, the LIB are going to have to make some major adjustments. Who's going to step up?

JACKET84 · January 16, 2009, 08:12:50 AM

HPU looked good last night against CU. The final score 74-56 was not indicitive of the game. HPU had CU down by 37 in the second half. CU cut the lead while HPU had all freshman on the floor. HPU defense looked the best I've seen this year.

Congrats to Lady Cats for the awesome win last night against UTT at their place! LC beat UTT 71-66. I think we might finally be coming together as a team. We should have never lost to MC at home. We can't complete 40 minutes a game until last night. We are off until next Thursday when we host ETBU.

Big win going after that 4th playoff slot!

Big game Thursday at UTT for UT Dallas. Starts a brutal 5-6 game stretch against UTT, MC and LC. I really don't understand scheduling though why play MC and LC on the road and then the next week play them at home? I guess there are a lot of things strange in this conference lol

golden_dome · January 20, 2009, 11:15:59 PM

Massey Ratings came out this week and the ASC is well represented. UT-Dallas is 7th, MS College is 22nd and McMurry is 24th.

If you use the Massey ratings with margin of victory also factored in, MS College is 10th and UT-Dallas is 14th.
