WBB: American Southwest Conference

[#1wildcatfan]

Great win for the LADY CATS this past Saturday!! We need to win these two games this week and we need UTT to lose to MC. We finally got our 2 starters back but we lost another player to a concussion. She should be back for Saturday's game.

Congratulations to ETBU freshman Julie Bowman, 39 points against UT-Tyler!

I think this is the first time I've ever rooted for another team in the ASC.  I'm hoping UT-Tyler wins it tonight over LC so we can have the conference tournament in an area that's a little easier to get to for most folks.

If anybody is going to be listening to the game on the radio or will be there in person and can post scores please do so.  I was going to listen to it on the internet but apparently neither one will be airing it over the net.

dballa,
You seem to have gotten your wish.

[dballa]

Well it's the only way my family is able to go to the games due to other obligations later Sunday night in the metroplex.

Thanks to the person that posted the scores on the scoreboard so I could post them on here.

So I am going to guess that we will have Co-West Player of the Year with Meia Daniels and Tara Richardson splitting the honor? Any input?

Who won the West MVP last year?  Did Meia and Tara share it?

Meia is more valuable to her team --
Tarra is a great player--

good luck to whoever votes

[golfniz1]

both are good players no doubt, but they are only as good as the players around them. i feel that without Tara McMurry would have a much more difficult time HPU would without Meia.

I have to think just the opposite.  I think if both teams lost their respective player during the season at the same time, McMurry would have had more loses due to Tara's absence, than HPU would have to Meia's absence.  HPU has been winning the last few weeks with Meia playing well below 100% with her fractured thumb.  Others have stepped it up on the team to make up for her injury.

McMurry beat Mississippi College (in Clinton) without Tara

[Ralph Turner]

ESPN.com featured the UNC-Greensboro player Kyle Hines who has 2000 points, 1000 rebounds and 300 blocks.

Kyle Hines

Look who is in that select company!

With 11 rebounds on the night, Kyle Hines became just the sixth player in NCAA history to record 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 300 blocks joining Derrick Coleman (Syracuse), Tim Duncan (Wake Forest), Pervis Ellison (Louisville), Alonzo Morning (Georgetown) and David Robinson (Navy).

By my calculations, Tarra has the 2000 points, but needs 34 rebounds and 14 blocks to hit those numbers.  She has one regular season game and hopefully several more in the tourneys.

I hope that Tarra hits those numbers, and I pray for the eyesight of the official scorers.

No doubt Tara is a good player Mr. Turner and is an impact in any game as is Meia, but I still thank that the players around these 2 make their jobs alot easier.  Both HPU and McMurry have very good role players.

I agree...

I just want the ultimate winner to go deep in the tourney!

Trinity (altho' that was not a "heavily-Texas" team) won it all in 2003. HSU went to the Final Four in 2006.

The ASC (and Texas) need that annual presence!

Symbri Tuttle won the ASC West Player of the Year last year

Well some clarification on the MVP awards, Meia Daniels won the tournament MVP and was ASC Female Athlete of the Year. I can't find anything about regular season MVP.
