WBB: American Southwest Conference

[Ralph Turner]

Calhsu, I honestly could not give you an answer on the "Chemistry" question.  I do know that Sonya West's departure definitely left a big opening on the team, and Coach Nichols had plenty of minutes that he could offer to new recruits.

I anticipate that Sonya West can almost average double-doubles this year.  I just want the ASC to make the Final Four!

Of course, Southwestern had the chance to get the first game jitters out of their system.

Ralph I was hoping this was  "first game gitters."

I hope you remember me from last year.  When the change in the website came I went from my name to CalHSU.  I'm still Larry.

I was able to catch both games this weekend. I must choose my words carefully, as  not to sound completely prejudicial. I am trying to make sure I give a fair assesment to both teams. McM looks pretty dang good. They finished strong, they played everybody, and looked like they were enjoying the game and saw flashes of really, really good stuff. HSU started off strong, causing turnovers, and taking a commanding lead. After the first half they slowed down and SW really adjusted well. Starters played most of the game, several players didn't even get on the floor. HSU got frustrated and tired and did not finish strong. I don't think they were very happy with their performance. West and Henley got the ball alot tonite inside and made good shots, but SW didn't post up well. The season in only beginning and there is room for improvements. Sounds like HPU had quite the shooting night, so I think the target is still on their backs. The stretch between Abilene and Bwood will be hot on nights they play each other. Don't know, could be very interesting!

fanstand,  your read on the game sounds "fair and balanced"   
Seasons are not made in the first weekend.  They are made by the adjustments from what you learn from the first weekend.  No adjustments---no victories.

Can anyone explain why my post number has been stuck at 62 for a long time?

It isn't stuck. Read again.

I'm sorry I just figured  how it works.

Sorry the only computers we had when I was in college were for punch hole cards.

News flash

Lisa Martinez doesnt play for UMHB anymore.

[fanstand]

Really? Since when? That's a pretty bold announcement whitebutterflies, did she transfer or what. Last I saw she was on the roster........

[Ralph Turner]

She is not listed on the UMHB roster at http://www.umhb.edu/sportsinfo/lcbasketball/roster.htm.

[fanstand]

Sometime today the roster changed and Lisa Martinez and Latrice Hutchins the only two seniors are no longer on the UMHB roster.  I don't know what happened, we could speculate on a lot of things. For two to leave the program, I suspect a difference in coaching philosphy. Maybe someone with some knowledge will let us know, maybe we'll never know. Thats a tough break for UMHB.

Read where Schreiner beat TLU in overtime. What say you calhsu? I'm telling you, better watch those "lower" half teams they have a way of sneaking up on you. Schreiner 2-0 for the last two games! They scored 97 points, its still early in the season, but most teams just get stronger.

ETBU beat LSUS tonight at home.  I think the final was 80-65 or something like that.  Lady Tigers put 6 players in double figures.  Very good things from the Ladies so far this season.  2-0
