HPU 94 Ozarks 52 Final

Daniels with 22 pts 5 rbs(in 26 Mins) and Hoffman with 15 pts 9 rbs to lead the Lady Jackets.

All but 3 players played more than 10 mins in the game and the others played at least 5 mins.  Great way to start the conference.

[fanstand]

Final score 84-62. Second half shooting a little cold, but kept on fighting for rebounds and second chance points. Good game for L.I.B. When someone is off, others are picking up the slack. Jabri had 4 fouls in seven minutes, Nelson and Erica Peters did a good job. Sandra Lewis hit 4 threes. Hopefully we can keep this momentum up all year long!

 Correction----Mississippi College lost to UMHB 73-72

HSU survived ETBSU.  Cowgirls payed pretty good at times, pretty bad at times. ETBSU is the kind of team that can make you look bad at times.  We were glad just to get out of there with the victory.   Shot terrible from the charity stripe - 9 of 20.  ETBSU is very athletic and quick and pretty deep on the bench.... look for them to give lots of teams trouble this year.

Fortunately they are on the East.  The West will be a meat grinder!

It looks like there are at least 4 teams on the West.  Trinity only beat UMHB in its first game, and Trinity's 3rd.

Sorry the score I posted about the MC/UMHB game was from their website and they had originally posted MC won the game before they posted any kind of stats.

You gotta love it when the ASC has 3 teams in the Top 15 in the nation. 

I know it's early and I forget every year but when do the regional rankings start coming out?

Hello, dballa!  The Regional Rankings will come out the last 4 weeks of the regular season.

Thanks Ralph I figured it was in the last part of conference play but wasn't sure.

How long do you all believe you will have 3 teams in the top 15? I think its good to have 3 teams but the chances of all of them being there at the end, once conference play starts and they start beating up on each other might cut one out of the top 25.  If the postseason were to start right now.  I don't think all 3 would get in with the strength of the great lakes area and northeast getting a more at-large bids.  I could see 2 from here but not 3.  I say continue on and continue to make the south proud.

After Monday and this three game stretch for McM and HSU, bet there may be only 2 teams from the West left in the top 15. We'll see. Go L.I.B. My money is on you!

Well, there is no doubt that the December 4th game will be great.  If HSU loses I would imagine that they would drop below #15.  If McMurry would lose, I am not sure how much of an effect it would have on their ranking.  Maybe just a couple of spots, if any. 

I am very interested to see how MCM does in their first potential close game.  I really don't see Mississippi College beating either team on the road.  Such tough places to play.  If these games were at MC then I think it could sway MC's way.

You want to talk about a tough stretch of the season, look at HPU's schedule!  They play MCM and HSU back to back weeks.  1/25 @HSU, 1/27 @ MCM, 2/1 vs. HSU, 2/3 vs. MCM.   

[fanstand]

The only way HSU drops out of the top 20 is if they lose to MC and McM, bet ya. If McM loses any contest they'll drop like a rock. Hpu's schedule is tougher during that stretch, but they got to play them twice.  I would like if they got to make one of those rounds earlier in the season and then again at the end, it would tell more about improvement on each team.  I've only seen McM play this year so until next Monday I can't offer opinions on how the other teams look.
