WBB: American Southwest Conference

[mcmfan]

The last I heard, we hoped to be in the NCCAA postseason.  Right now, everyone is just concentrating on the rematch with HSU.  It should be a good game; we beat them before, but on our court and with their top scorer not playing because she was sick.  This Saturday, it will be their court with (the flu willing) their full team.  And in a cross-town rivalry march, you can throw the standings out the window!

I guess this is to the webmaster here.  Any idea why the avatars no longer seem to be displaying?  Mine is still correctly linked on my profile, but it is no longer displaying on my messages.  In fact, Pat's appears to be just about the only avatar that is displaying.

I have no idea. I see your avatar!

Seems fine from my perspective as well. May be just on your side.

The NCAA released the third set of women's basketball regional rankings with few changes from last week's version. This is the final set that we'll see before the Tournament bracket is released on Monday. Full list here: http://d3hoops.com/notables/2018/02/women-regional-rankings-third

Going to be interesting to see what happens with the ASC in the playoffs after ETBU knocked out UTD in the semis and then defeated UMHB for the championship this weekend.   ETBU pool A, probably UTD pool C with UMHB being the odd team out.  Over in the SCAC, Austin lost unexpectedly to Southwestern in the semis which likely eliminated the SCAC's slim hopes for a second team.   UTD likely hosts in a scenario when they, ETBU, Trinity all make the playoffs.

ETBU continues their run with a huge upset of Whitman tonight,65-59.   Whitman had lost 3-of-4 coming into tonight's game but still a shock to see a seasoned team lose in the first round

[Ron Boerger]

It'll be an all-ASC battle for a spot in the Sweet Sixteen after UT-D defeated Trinity 79-70.

UTD met Trinity basket for basket after pulling away from the 8-7 Trinity lead in the 1Q.

I notice ETBU has made it to the sweet 16 -- the last of our men's and women's teams from the ASC in the post-season.  The schedule says they play St. Thomas next.  Do we know where and at what time?

They play at Wartburg, I believe it'll be 5:30pm Central time.

ETBU really went on a roll once the ASC championships came around.   They lost by 10 at UT-D in the last game of the regular season, then beat them by 13 on Saturday in the same building, shooting 60% while holding the Comets to 25%!

Definitely encourage you to use our schedule, since that had that info.
