BB: ASC: American Southwest Conference

[dahlby]

From what I understand it will be a four team playoff in the SCIAC.

[Ralph Turner]

Ralph you do a great job explaining why the ASC doe it the way they do. i just disagree with 8 teams going into a tournament for the Pool A bid. It takes away the effort during the Regular Season.

Reminds of the NHL where everyone almost makes the playoffs. I am for rewarding the TOP 2 teams in each division in single site 4 team double elimination tourney for a Pool A bid. I hope the SCIAC goes to either a 2 team or 4 team tourney.

If you look at the ASC as two separate divisions in which no crossover games are considered in the standings, then the ASC tournament is more like a "play-in" tourney for the 2 divisions.

With McMurry, TLU, Schreiner and Centenary moving out in the next couple of years, then the 12-team conference probably moves to a 6-team tourney.

Ralph,

I know McMurry is moving to DIV II but what about the otherr two schools? Centenary just joined the ASC this year so moving out would be a surprise.

[108 Stitches]

Centenary is moving to SCAC next year.

[Ralph Turner]

Centenary is moving to SCAC next year.

And what else makes sense would be for:

Colorado College to go to D-2 Rocky Mountain AC, and

LeTourneau to move to the SCAC.  (LeTourneau might be a better fit in the SCAC than the ASC.)

Travel partners...
Trinity /Schreiner  65 miles apart
Southwestern / TLU  78 miles apart
Austin College /UDallas  68 miles apart
Centenary /LETU  63 miles apart

you should have stopped when you said MAKES SENSE.  you have been around long enough to know that sense has no part in college athletics....

NCAA - MAKES SENSE......Never....

[Pat Coleman]

The NCAA doesn't have any say in conference membership or travel partners.

You saw 108's note about Centenary -- they will be in the SCAC next season.

TLU and Schreiner made announcements earlier this year that they were switching to the SCAC, both effective '13-'14.

Wrong topic on ASC board but is this for 2013....Not for 2012?

[dahlby]

Crash, I was simply answering your statement regarding SCIAC playoffs.
Playoffs to start in '13.

UMHB 6 McMurry 0.

We now have two chances to win one.

TLU beats Concordia 1-0.  No box score or stats, but sounds like Orsey was on tonight.

What a game!

Watched online, so I'll leave it to others who were there. But my observation was that he was effectively wild.

Good feed and fantastic facility, by the way.
