Pat missed a good opportunity for some Texas Beef!

But I am sure money is being saved! So what else matters?

Yeah, mine!!!

Good one, Ralph!!!

Got a chuckle out of me!

And you too Millie, that should not be said by anyone!

Thanks for not letting it pass unnoticed!

Bad...Bad...Baddog!!!

Actually Millie, Hope College in Michigan is the highest seeded team in the bracket, but also are travelling due to geography considerations. If you have as good of a team as you think you do, you should also be good enough to win on the road. Just eat your grits & listen to the games on the radio if it's too far for you to drive to support your team.

You know what is funny?

There have been two racist remarks posted and neither were from southerners.

Why is that?

I beg your pardon, knightmoves.

MC has the #4 QOWI, has a higher in-region percentage and higher won-loss percentage.

Pat Coleman unoffically seeded MC as the #1 in the South.

Sure, it would be nice for MC to get to host a sectional, but I'm not sure "home-court advantage" really means anything to the Chocs. I went back to look at their record, and the lowest number of points they won by on the road was 8 (and one of those was in Clarksville!

). Most of the time, the margin was well into double digits. They seem to take care of business, at home or on the road.

Good luck!

MC handled the HPU crowd of over 2000 pretty easily and played really well throughout that whole tournament here in Brownwood. They are ready for whatever comes their way thats for sure. They may need to bring some silver bullets, wooden stakes and crosses though when they play Transylvania

knightmoves · March 05, 2006, 10:48:26 PM

My bad Ralph, but that's just on paper. I have absolutely no doubt that either Hope or Witt will dispose of the Chocs as easily as my Knights did last year anyway. I know you said they are much better this year, but this is a much tougher class of ball in the Great Lakes region. It's too bad that Witt & Hope have to play Friday night, because that's essentially the final anyway. If the Chocs advance to the final 4, I will officially bow down to you right here on the ASC site.

Ralph Turner · March 05, 2006, 11:10:05 PM

knight, this MC is much different than last year's team. I thought that the addition of Timothy Broomfield was big!

I stated earlier that the critical statistic will be 28 minutes of playing time for Tyler Winford. The Midwest/Great Lakes hates the up-tempo style of play. Look at the ridicule that is foisted upon teams that play up-tempo (Nolan Richardson style) or Grinnell's systems.

Well, a strong inside neutralizing presence will permit the up-tempo to succeed. However, if MissColl needs to handle a slower pace, then that falls on Winford's shoulders to neutralize the inside-out game..

Knightmoves,

We really don't care if or where you bow down...

and you can just "eat my grits!"

I love Mississippi!

Go Choctaws! Get fired up!!!

Texas Fan...not the gentleman that Ralph is!!!

millie · March 05, 2006, 11:39:10 PM

knight...if you have never tried you should...they are great...you don't know what you are missing.

dsc...you are not the gentleman and i'm not the lady (belle maybe)

millie · March 05, 2006, 11:39:54 PM

knight...grits, that is

etbualum · March 06, 2006, 01:23:32 AM

I agree with what Ralph said. Broomfield has been a huge help this year. Everyone left is deep though so it will be a tough test.

Good Luck MC
