WBB: American Southwest Conference

[dballa]

thundercat check out www.hputx.edu and go to the athletics link to the women's basketball page.  It will have a link to the broadcast schedule and you can check out the game on the internet through Dallas Huston's perspective.

I'm not going to be able to make it to the game tonight either due to my job being in the opposite direction.  So i'll be listening to Dallas and checking out HSU's live stats while wearing my blue and gold

Sting 'Em Jackets!!

[sethhpu]

Off to Abilene to be loud and proud, maybe I'll be heard on the radio. Sting 'em!

Atta baby HPU!!! Nice win at a very tough place to play!  I am so proud of you!  Go and get one more on saturday! (Could you maybe rebound a little better on saturday as well!)  Keep it up!  Tonight was only 1.

[Ralph Turner]

I saw the HPU-HSU game.  HPU was up by 10 and the Cowgirls cut it to 1 with less than a minute left, 55-54.

On 2 occasions, the Cowgirls had the chance to tie go ahead and the chance to tie, but HPU's Molly Buker created 2 turnovers and hit the FT's to make it 57-54 and finally 59-54.

Blalock spent about 10-12 minutes on the bench with foul trouble and the Jackets held the lead.

dsc here is my take on the game. HSU made a lot of unforced errors, but it was all brought on by HPU's pressure. I mean HSU had 28 turnovers and not all were errors by HSU. Oh and Ralph not only was Blaylock on the bench but HPU only shot 33% from the field for the game and I think HSU was 45%. It was a great defensive effort tonight. Something I noticed a little different was HSU's fans didn't get into the game until they cut it to 1. I thought it was funny after the game some of the HSU students were yelling Final Four, and I thought great accomplishment but to bad it is the wrong year.

Thank you, sethhpu...yes, that would be funny ...to hear that , but funnier if HSU could get in the playoffs like last year...and make it to the final four!    Anyway, from a HSU fan!

I always figure that most turnovers are caused, not made...so HPU did a good job in "rattling" the Cowgirls.  As Ralph indicates the game "almost" went the other way...

It should be fun in Brownwood on the return, or even Saturday at McM.

Thanks for the comments...much appreciated.

I heard the assistant coach from the LC women's team resigned today. Is Coach Potera-Haskins really that hard to work for? What is the deal? I googled her and saw where she had assistants in the past quit during the season. Her assistant is great and hard-working. He deserves better.

[mcmfan]

Speaking of the Final Four, or at least the post-season, last year HSU, HPU, and McM all got into the post-season even though HSU and HPU got knocked out of the conference tournament before the final game – presumably because they all had such close records during the season.  If HPU pulls away (if they beat us at McM tomorrow, they'll have a 2-game lead), barring later losses what is the chance that all three teams could again be invited to the post-season unless one of them actually wins the conference tournament?

[CUAfan]

CUA 75, Schreiner 68

Two CUA players with double-doubles. Harris with 13 points (I think) and 16 boards, and Zeleny (who's only started 4 games I think) who posted 12 and 15. I don't care who you're playing, 15-16 rebounds is pretty dang good.

The win moves CUA into 5th place in the division, three games back of UMHB for the last tourney spot. I don't know if we'll catch 'em, but we're sure gonna try! Even if we don't, we'll be losing only 3 seniors, none of whom start. Symbri and Richardson are seniors, right?  

[fanstand]

CUAfan, only Symbri a senior, all others of LIB are underclassmen. Those will be really big shoes we have to fill next year, but they'll find someone to step in and take over for her. She has led by example, and there are some players who I'm sure will rise to the challange. I am exhausted, I cannot imagine how the teams are feeling.......this is a tough run for all of them. I have been saying HPU is for real, but they are not unbeatable. Whoever has the legs and the heart, will be coming out on top, and this isn't over until a week from tomorrow. And we have to go to Alpine........Go LIB, I believe in you.....

[HPU75]

MCMFAN:  With last year's success in the tournament by HSU,  if all 3 continue to win the games they should, I would expect HPU, HSU and MCM would all get in, regardless of the conference tourney result( unless someone else--ETBU??won it)  I am not an expert on the NCAA crititeria as others are, but surely  that would happen.  By the way. GREAT  win last night by the Lady Jackets!! I still do not necessarily expect them to win all 4 of  these games, but what a great start.  Having seen all 3 teams play, I believe if HPU plays its best they  are very tough to beat for a lot of reasons.  Another big game Saturday at Kimbrell!! I hope to be there.

Dustin, maybe you should answer that question yourself, given the fact that you're on her staff, too.   

OOPS!
