WBB: American Southwest Conference

[ETigerBU]

ETBU will be fine in the upcoming road trips! Yes there have been injuries but the Lady Tigers are resiliant and will find a way to pull it out! Luckily for us our bench is deeper than a lot of people are giving us credit for!

With three of the top 16 teams on the West side, most of the conversation is about McMurry, HPU and HSU. But here is an article we released about senior Lacey Kennedy, one of the best players in the ASC the last several years. She is going for her 4th ASC East title in four years. The year she missed the season we did not win it. It is an interesting read for those not familiar with her story.

Chris, that's a nice article on Lacey... What are her career stats right now?  She has to be closing in on 2000 points and 1000 rebounds.

[Pat Coleman]

1,633 points and 678 rebounds by my math.

Thanks Pat!  so I guess she will be closer to 1,850 points and 800 rebounds.  Still not too bad.  The ASC record is 1788 points by Kathryn Otwell of HSU.

Of course, Tarra Richardson is on pace to shatter the points, rebounds and blocked shot marks by the time she is done.  Looking at the McM website it appears that she has 1,333 points, 639 rebounds and 195 blocks at this time.

gccfan, Tarra, has at least 11 games in the regular season this year and 25 regular season games next year.

Tarra could finish with 2000 points, 1000 rebounds and 300 hundred blocks.

Thanks. She has had a great career at MC and this season has been her best. I knew she was nearing the conference record but last season is gonna cost her 2,000 which is too bad because she was hurt. They thought she broke her wrist in the 5th game but she played through it and averaged just 14.4 points. Before the injury she was on pace for another 20 point season but shot just 45 percent afterward compared to 54 percent the rest of her career plus she was in a lot of pain. She could have set a record that would have been harder for Tarra to reach. This season she leads the league with 22.4 points and 10.3 boards.

If the team can come back and win the East this year, she would be one of the few ASC players to win four division titles and earn four First Team All-ASC selections. I would bet Kendra Anderson did it at HSU but I have not researched it.

I'm not gonna lie to you Ralph, it feels pretty good!    The next couple of weeks are gonna be some amazing basketball...buckle up everyone!!!!!

[Rob Don]

hmmmm predictions time!!!  here is where i more often than not put my foot directly into my mouth.  And i'll do it again, unashamedly!  I'm an HPU fan...duh...which has always been my bias...and i dont care.    nonetheless i do believe that we are seeing the best HPU team to date (a team which seems to improve every single season!) and i do believe that we will see HPU Women's basketball in the Final Four this year!!!   

(now is where i wait for ol' "In the Paint" to come tell me how dumb i am! LOL)

Those are pictures from the Mausoleum, too!

It sure does look good. I hope the exposure helps the rest of the conference and we don't have to see HSU or McM in a regional and get a chance for all 3 teams to be in the Sweet 16.
