Another reason why McM has to be thinking like underdogs: the fans. While theoretically it will be a neutral venue with MC out of the running, my guess is that what MC fans show up to watch will be rooting for UMHB -- since everybody loves an upset. And the Ladies have to spread the points around more: if Tarra is double teamed, someone else on the outside has to step up!

[Lisa Martinez was pre-season ASC-West POTY. I thought that was a key factor. When UMHB got their chemsitry re-modulated after Lisa's departure, they began to play very well.

Excellent point, Ralph! This UMHB team seems to be playing like last year's team as they ended the season strong, a real contenter for last year's conference title/tournament.

Is UMHB's greatest strength their coaching staff? To bring back a team from like we've seen this season is no small feat!

During the regular season, both McM and HPU beat UMHB twice. HPU beat them by a combined total of 39 points, but McM's combined total was only 16 points. Going by the point spreads, if HPU lost yesterday, McM should be toast today. Again, the Lady Indians can take nothing for granted against this surging UMHB team!

TOAST? I really hope you are kidding McM fan, you got on purple today? Yesterday Tarra was tripled team at times and still managed to score 29 points. Yes, UMHB is playing inspired, but we will too today, If we have 1/2 of an L.I.B. game we will come out on top. We are not as drained and we are ready. HPU had 2 assists in their game yesterday and panicked when they were down. Trust me on this. Were ready

fanstand,
All I'm saying is that we're playing a 4th-seed team that's not looking like a 4th seed: in the last week or so they have beaten three suppsedly "better" teams, HSU in the regular season and now MC and HPU in the playoffs. I sort of expected MC might be in trouble, but I don't think anyone expected the HPU loss yesterday. We've got to take these guys seriously if we expect to beat them.

McM 30 UMHB 26 at the half.

Sawyer 10 points, Richardson 13 pts.

McM hit 8-15 FG's to start and had an 18-5 lead. UMHB started playing very physically and very aggressively and pulled ahead 26-25. Maigen Sawyer hit a 3FG before the buzzer to bring the lead back to four.
