The ASC website says of both the men's and women's tournament games: "The entire eight-team, single elimination event will be available for fans through free live video streaming with audio." Is this going to be possible from the Brownwood Colosseum? Where can one log on for access?

You can do streaming audio on dial-up. It's been done.

When? In the Middle Ages?

Yes, that was the way that McMurry did it beginning in the late 1990's.

It only takes about 16-20 kilobaud.

LO is not playing its best basketball of the year right now. They need to pick it up in the second half against HSU or they may be heading home. HSU took it to them pretty good in the 1st half.

Kelly Boggs · February 26, 2011, 04:36:58 PM

I lost the feed so all I know is that LC came on late to defeat HSU 70-62. The Cat's need to start playing much better beginning with tomorrow's game. Hat's off to UMHB and HSU for giving LC all it could handle.

Ralph Turner · February 26, 2011, 07:08:11 PM

HPU goes on a 21-3 run in the last 6:42 of the game to win 64-54.

They face LaCollege tomorrow.

LC @ HPU should be a good one. Go Wildcats!

Kelly Boggs · February 27, 2011, 03:55:03 PM

HPU torched the nets in the 1st half - 9 three pointers & 8 in a row to start the game. Cats have to step it up big time in the second half.
HPU leads 40-26.

Kelly Boggs · February 27, 2011, 04:32:12 PM

I lost the feed at about 14 minutes to go in the game. I don't like to light the old cigar so early, but I'm going to congratulate HPU on a great game today. LC was colder than a cast iron commode & HPU played tough. Congrats Lady Jackets on the ASC championship & auto bid to the playoffs.

Who does these national rankings? I notice of the two men's teams and two women's teams in the ASC that were in the last South national rankings on D3hoops, none actually won the championship. I'd say HPU got hot in the last part of the season and nobody noticed it (except those of us who got beaten by them on our home courts).

The Regional Rankings are done by the Criteria in the Handbook.

Handbook

Because we are so isolated as a conference, and we are so balanced in quality, we seldom are able to build the numbers that the NCAA needs. The good thing that we have done as conference members is McMurry's game in Hawai'i against CNU and HPU's loss at the Concordia TX tourney(Props to the Lady Tornados) to Coe. (ST Mary's MN and Colorado College were not as strong as HPU would have hoped. LaCollege's win over Rose-Hulman did not help much either. UMHB also played UW-Oshkosh and Macalester. The better teams are trying hard to schedule advantageous games.)

Trinity and the non-DePauw teams in the SCAC are down, so we are not getting the synergies from that conference.

I was trying to figure where they might send HPU, if HPU and LaCollege get sent elsewhere.

I thought of being sent to Iowa where Coach Chris Kielsmeier might bring some fans.

However, he is busy this weekend.

It was an honor and a pleasure to have him around the ASC.
