Thanks to TUSID for the link!

LSUS 90  ETBU 87

A Kid hit a 3 at the buzzer to beat etbu.  Cedric Isom stole the ball from LSUS's Rico Payne and made a layup with about 17 seconds left to tie it.  LSUS is ranked #7 NAIA and I believe made the semifinals last season.  Tigers played well just came up  short in the end.

Ralph that HPU/TU, TU led by 14 at the half then HPU cut it down to 3 or 4 with about 5 mins to play then TU pulled away for a larger victory.  HPU definitely has a lot more shooters this year and will be very dangerous all year long.  Gotta remember this is a TU team that knocked off the #11 team in the nation.

HPU looked like a different team vs last year.  They should do well this season. 

[etbualum]

conference openers and the board is dead....hope it heats up later. 
ETBU plays Schreiner and TLU.  Anyone have a scouting report on TLU?

[hoopshops]

If Jean can continue to play at the level he is playing at HSU should be all right come playoff time because Pickelman has proven what he can do.  Hopefully Peters can also keep up the production he showed in the UNT game and keep the lockdown status he showed against Bowser in the Southwestern game.  Barring any letdowns HSU should easily be in the confernce tourney.

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT COWBOYS!

Can anyone tell me if the MC - SRSU game will be broadcasted over the net anywhere.

[dballa]

according to the scoreboard MC 91 SRSU 68.

MC looks like they might be for real this year.

HPU 72 LC 71.  HPU was down by as much as 20 and by 11 at the half.  Good comeback win.  Got a really tough game against MC on Monday.

[etbualum]

ETBU 77  SU 60 or something like that

Cedric was the only one in double figures.  25pts 12rbs 5assists

Sloppy game but a good win for ETBU

[Ralph Turner]

McM 91, UTD 88.  I saw the last 11 minutes of the game.  UT-D went on a 10-0 run in the 2nd half to lead by 10 but McM closed the margin and went up by 5.  Down the stretch it was clutch play by Bryant, Williams, Colina and others for McMurry and Salinas for UT-D.

IMHO, Salinas is the most spectacular player in the conference from my early assessment.  He had 40 points tonight!

However, I like the new players that McMurry has brought in,  Colina, Void, Baker, Brashears and Stevens especially.  Bryant, Faught and Williams seemed to have developed even more in the off-season.  Forgive my bias, but I really like watching Colina from Venezuela.  He plays the beautiful, fundamentally-solid basketball that we are seeing on the international scene and that is eating the sack-lunches of NBA streetball playas!

Again, I really like this McMurry team!  This should be a good one for a conference that has gotten stronger!

Interesting:

Hardin-Simmons 65
UT-Tyler   75  FINAL

[Aerie Head]

Ozarks 50, UMHB 48

Ozarks led by 11 at halftime, but UMHB came out in the second half with tough defense, and Gatlin hit a couple of three-pointers in a row.  UMHB tied the game (don't think they ever pulled ahead), then Ozarks got back to a 6-point lead with less than a minute left.  Some wild scrambling around on two consecutive inbounds passes later, UMHB had the last shot with 8 seconds left but missed. (Whew!)

Ozarks' women also won (I think the score was 75-69).

It is tough to win on the road in the ASC!
