WBB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Ron Boerger]

Given the continued failure of the San Antonio daily to cover this weekend's TU games (either one), here's some reading about the teams involved in Abilene:

Here is the Abilene Reporter-News writeup on HPU-Trinity (not much), as well as a story from the Brownwood Bulletin. 
Here is the ARN writeup for HSU and another for McMurry.

[Ron Boerger]

HPU is broadcasting the game.

Trinity 14, HPU 13 midway through the first half. 

[Ron Boerger]

It sure is hard to stay in a game when you are called for a foul just about EVERY TIME HPU misses a shot.   HPU is up by 11 and has shot 20+ more FTs than Trinity.   At the half it's HPU 38, Trinity 27 as HPU outscored TU 14-2 from the five minute mark.  ASC PoTY Meia Daniels has 25. 

Waiting for other stats. 

[Ron Boerger]

Stats:

FG, HPU 9-24, TU 10-27
FT, HPU 17-26, TU 7-10 (OK, only 16 more FTs)
REB, TU 22, HPU 17
TO, HPU 4 TU 11
STL, HPU 6 TU 4

And now I have to go to rehearsal.  Good luck, ladies ... sounds like you'll need it.

Well maybe now that the Maryville (TN) men have dispatched a top tier SCAC team, the Lady Scots can do the same.  None of the experts saw this MC-Trinity rout coming, so why should we believe them about Maryville- DePaul?

...considering how Hardin-Simmons limped into the playoffs with their recent results,

...at least the Cowgirls made it to the second round...

Go HSU Cowgirls...again!

I'm going to go ahead and STATE that Depauw will whipe the floor with Maryville. 

Well, that's about exactly what happened at the Neal Fieldhouse tonight. 86-58 the final score, DePauw never trails on their way to their 27th straight win. Four Tigers in double figures led by Liz Bondi's 19 (to go with 13 boards) and Suzy Doughty's 17 (on 6-6 shooting and 5-6 from the line). Natalie Munday, the freshman post player for the Lady Scots, was a non-factor - 6 points, 2 rebounds, and 5 fouls in 19 minutes of play.

DePauw shoots 56% from the field and 8-14 from beyond the arc. If they play like they did tonight on both ends, they're going to be real scary in this tournament.

It's not like Maryville is a bad basketball team. They aren't. They're a 23-win team for a reason (well, a couple of them - *cough*weakschedule*cough*). I was impressed with the play of their guards, particularly Andrea Plemons and Melissa Uner. But DePauw just boatraced them from the get-go and never looked back. Very impressive effort for the Tigers on their way to the Sweet 16!

Good one.  DePaul.  I've never heard that before.    Gave it a good run for a couple minutes or so...

86-58 the final BTW.  Liz Bondi with 19 & 13.  Foul trouble for the bigs for MC, and Liz Bondi went crazy.  DPU also 8-14 from 3.  

[scottiedoug]

Ouch!  See you next year, with all starters back.  No argument about the weak schedule part, except the non-GSAC schedule was ok.  Scots really should be better next year.  I hope DePauw runs the table now!  Good luck.

[DPU_radio_guy]

Well, it's official.  Wheaton, Wash U., and Hope are all coming to Greencastle this weekend.  I'm already fired up for the Wash U/Hope game, that should be a dandy.

[Ron Boerger]

Dang it, I was hoping DPU could take out the ASC rep this weekend.  Good luck Tigers, and represent!

Here is a link to an article in the Maryville paper with nice things said about the DePauw team by Scots' coach Dee Bell.

Good luck!

Pat said on the d3hoops.com broadcast that there were a lot of strange calls that were pretty evenly distributed.  He's just a bit more neutral in this than either of us <IMG SRC="http://discus.d3hoops.com/discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

Tara did score nearly twice her season average (16.7) tonight on 13-of-21 shooting.  That may be her season high.    

By the way:  the official <a href="http://www.rmc.edu/athletics/basketball/womens/BBstats/2005/RMC29.HTM" target=_top>box score</a> is up.

By the way, Depauw will win it all.....
