WBB: American Southwest Conference

[David Collinge]

David let me know if you need one I will pick you one up.  You can't get one at DeSalles?

Thanks, but I'm not a DeSales fan, and it's about 450 miles from where I live anyway.  When it comes to this sectional, I'm decidedly nonpartisan. 

Rick Akins, I have sent you an email.  Thanks.

[Pat Coleman]

Thanks for the info golfniz1. You'll have to give us a report on the matchup after the Friday games. Hope vs HPU would be a great game Saturday, though I wish it could have waited for March 22.  I can't make the trip, but am looking forward to listening over the internet.

Is Hope sending a radio crew?

If not, HPU's Dallas Huston is one of my favorite play-by-play announcers.

D3hoops.com is sending a radio crew.

I am actually considering going to the game and wearing Maroon.  I will serve as a "cultural exchange" fan. 

Ralph: I'll be glad to ship you my gold sweatshirt and matching Knights baseball cap--just to round off your wardrobe. Or you could just borrow some of the stuff Ron Holmes got from the Calvin bookstore when he was in Grand Rapids in 2000.

Wow! Congratulations to Tarra!

For those uncertain on what wardrobe to wear.  DeSales is navy blue and scarlet and we have no problem with you adopting us as your rooting interest for the weekend.

You folks have been very accomodating to me on this posting up section...I am sure you will all show up in Blue and Red and cheer loud for us,  .

Looking forward to meeting some locals.

You'll definitely see a lot of folks in navy blue but they'll be accompanied by some Old Gold   I'm sure you can expect some loud cheers for your team as well, but only if they happen to shoot an airball   Judging by the shooting percentages of some of the players I'm sure we won't hear that chant much if any.

But the pictures of the Hope team show them in red uniforms.  You need to be careful... 

Adjust the monitor maybe ?? 


The Dutch did not get the Dutchmen's Special set of 3 uniforms like the men, they only have 2 sets of uniforms.....White and Blue both with Orange trim.

What a great honor for Tarra and McMurry!! I told you she was extra special.

What a great honor for Tarra and McMurry!! I told you she was extra special.

She is hard to beat in any one area of the qualifications, let alone all three.  Another triple double.  Grats Tarra and McMurry!

[Ralph Turner]

Wow!!!

Just to be named a finalist is an accomplishment!

Congratulations, Tarra

[golfniz1]

Tara is a good player and deserves all the recognition she is getting very proud that she is an athlete from ASC.   Just gives our conference a little more credibility.  Tara along with Stacey Blaylock and Mia Daniels are nominated for the State Farm All American team!  Way to go girls.

Thanks to dballa for the link.  All four ASC members are mentioned.

And if you look at the other teams coming in this weekend we'll have 5 possible All-Americans playing Friday night in Brownwood.

I think this community will be treated to some very exciting basketball.
