Hardin-Simmons     14-5    at SRSU, at HPU
Howard Payne     13-6 McMurry, HSU
McMurry     13-6 at HPU and at SRSU
Concordia (Texas)    11-8 TLU, Schreiner
Mary Hardin-Baylor    11-8 Schreiner, TLU

Five teams for 4 slots. West Champion hosts.
HSU, HPU, and McM are pretty sure to get in, with HSU probably hosting unless they lose both their remaining games and HPU or McM win both. I can't see either HSU or McM losing to both HPU and SRSU, though all things are possible. But what about CTX and UMHB? If they both win their last two games, since they have one game each against the other, which one would get fourth place in the tournament?

Tie-breaker

After head-to-head then it is record against the highest seeded team, #1 if tied, then #2, etc.

UMHB has a 1-1 record against HSU. CTX is 0-2 versus HSU.

Here's another query. It appears to me if HPU wins both their remaining games and HSU beats SRSU, you end up with a tie for first with HPU having the tie-breaker since they would have beaten HSU in both matchups. But what if McM won both, and HPU beat HSU, for a McM-HSU tie for first? Since the two teams split, who would host the tournament then?

Ralph Turner · February 14, 2011, 08:13:23 PM

McMurry can host if we beat HPU and SRSU, and HPU beats HSU, assuming HSU beats SRSU.

We would tie with HSU, but have the better record against the #3 team, HPU.

Sounds like a long shot. We just need to attend to business and make sure the tournament is somewhere in Abilene and not in the Mausoleum!

I am glad that you have referenced the Mausoleum. I have tried to be on my best behavior this season.

Play 'em one game at a time. Let's beat HPU, before 2,000 fans.

JACKET84 · February 15, 2011, 04:51:48 PM

I hope there are 2,000, but I doubt it. Not on a Thursday. HPU hasn't played the best ball at home this year. Hopefully they'll improve this week.

I know you guys like to make fun of our facility

, but it sure is much more comfortable than setting on wooden bleachers. It also has a nice banner hanging in it. Something about being the undefeated National Champions in Women's DIII Basketball in 2008.

In all fairness to the Mausoleum, which I first heard my father call it in the early 1970's when he lived in Comanche, the upgrades that you made prior to the 2007-08 season really made a difference.

I would have hated for HPU to play the Sectional at someplace like Hope that year. The Mausoleum/Coliseum was rockin'.

I know. I am proud to say that I was there!

For the sake of the ASC that was a wonderful night!

By the way, will there be toilet paper at the Coliseum?

Excellent question about the toilet paper. NO, there will not be any available in the "Visitors's" restroom. BUT, there was an exellent corn crop this year, so we have a great supply of cobs.

Week 3 Regional Rankings are out: http://www.d3blogs.com/d3hoops/2011/02/16/ncaa-2011-regional-rankings-week-3/

It's very possible that the only ranked Women's team from the ASC will not win the conference tournament.

And then we might get a Pool C bid!

I just found out that www.mcmurrysports.com will not be carrying the HPU Doubleheader.

I can look forward to the dulcet tones of Dallas Huston.

UNCLE · February 16, 2011, 06:50:51 PM

Maybe, Dallas has been under the weather and missed a couple of games. We wish him well and hope he is back soon.

A nice write-up about the HPU women in today's Abilene Reporter-News:

I was out of town last week, so I don't know if HPU games are back on the radio or not. I spoke with Dallas at the HSU game in Abilene. At that time he said there was a problem with a piece of equipment, and if it wasn't fixed in 2 weeks, HPU would change radio stations. I know the games on the 3rd and 5th were still not on the radio (only on the internet). I hope tonight's game and Saturdays game will be back on the radio.
