I just want to say that I think the SCAC is doing an outstanding job with providing live action of the tournament to fans who couldn't make it to Conway. It's been fun watching the live video feeds and listening to the live audio, especially when we get them synced just right.

...how long until I can expect HD video feeds

Solid defensive tussle between Trinity and Centre. Colonels took control in the final 5 minutes of the opening half after Trinity came out like a barn on fire to start. Centre has got some nice dribble drives to close possessions late. BJ Moon has kept the Tigers is gear with good play. This game could go either way. Centre has the advantage of not having played 2 overtimes the day before.

Excellent result for Millsaps to have Centre beat Trinity. Millsaps now needs to win this afternoon and set up the final that would be great for SCAC basketball.

38-34 Millsaps at the half. Hendrix played the Majors tough.

They just announced the all conference teams, player of the year, coach of the year, def.player of the year, and newcomer of the year. This is the first year in a long time that I haven't been at the tournament, but I always thought they announced the awards after the finals?

No...we've always announced on Saturday at the half of the second men's and women's semifinal games. More of a chance of teams still being at the tourney to hear the announcements.

A sense of relief that Millsaps got past a tough Hendrix team and their fans to get to the SCAC finals. A sense of disappointment on the SCAC awards.

Hendrix played their hearts out and left everything on the floor in battling Millsaps down to the wire. The Majors didn't play their best, but made clutch shots (and free throws) in the last 5 minutes. Should be a championship game worth witnessing tomorrow. Millsaps wants the championship badly and Centre wants to continue their marvelous streak of winning basketball. No doubt in my mind the 2 best SCAC squads will be competing at a high level tomorrow, and each should advance to the D3 tournament regardless of tomorrow's result.

I was particularly pleased that the SCAC Coaches selected Greg Mason as Coach of the Year. He's done a marvelous job of meddling his team around two outstanding seniors in Nestheide and Britt. In my opinion, he took a less talented team this year as compared to last season, and made them into yet a more cohesive, unselfish unit that has produced an astounding 25 straight wins. Mason, at a young age, is quickly establishing himself as one of the great ones in D3 basketball circles.

This weekend,I have run into lots of basketball fans of Centre and other schools wondering where Wes and Frank are. Any chance we'll see either of you for the tournament finals this afternoon.

I picked Millsaps to win it all at the beginning, so naturally I'll stick with that pick. Should be a dandy this afternoon.

WGRE...

I really like your sports broadcast promo that you use on your broadcasts. The audio clips convey plenty of emotion and excitement.

Thanks for doing the broadcasts.

Centre is 6-38 from the field. Not the Colonels day. My hat is off to Millsaps on a solid performance. 11:20 to go with Millsaps up 19.

Ralph, on behalf of the four of us who are in Conway this weekend - including the two currently calling the game who are preoccupied at the moment - I can say the pleasure is ours. The fun we have doing this tournament, as well as the positive feedback we get from folks like yourself, makes it a blast to do.

Centre currently on a 9-2 run, BTW. 48-34 MC, 8 minutes left.
