MBB: American Southwest Conference

[golden_dome]

Just wanted everyone to know that we will have  free live video for tomorrow's semifinal games and Sunday's Championship. ICS,http://www.internetconsult.com/, will host the games and they do a great job so the quality should be excellent. ICS is the same company who hosts the MC website as well as about 50-60 other athletic sites and conferences including Syracuse University.

Is your server big enough?

That is great!

Well congrats to HSU - really shut down LETU today.

While it's hard not to be disappointed for today's game with LETU, still major props for Coach Davis and his team on an excellent season.  They should keep their heads held high and happy with the turnaround for the season. 

First winning season in 10 years......

Ralph,
   We don't host it locally. Internet Consulting Services hosts the feed for us. They also handle all of Syracuse's video so I am sure they have ample bandwidth. This is the first time we have hosted a free feed so they really don't have any idea of how many people to expect. We will see how it goes.

Mr. Brooks...Excellent Tournament page.  Thanks!

It was a thrill looking at the past ASC tournament records, I had forgotten how good that MC vs McM rivalry was...and still is.

Thanks for the nice words about the website. Hopefully everyone who could not make the trip will get a chance to watch tomorrow's games.

Congrats to HSU and MCM on the wins.  What an exciting day for the ASC on the Women's and Men's side with 4 great matchups.

Big win for McM yesterday.  They clinched their 9th 20 win season in school history and the sixth in the Ron Holmes era.  Congrats to him, the team, and the staff.  I wish I could be in Clinton today.  Thanks to Chris and the MC staff for making the video stream possible.  Hopefully I will back from Brownwood in time to watch the 2nd half.

I tested the image quality of our live feed this morning and it is excellent. As long as viewers have a good connection they should be able to watch the game in full sreen mode and still have good quality. But this is the first time we have done this so we will have to see how many people log on to the feed.

Thanks for the heads up and the stream Chris... it was really great! Ask poor Pat Coleman... I couldn't stop raving about the quality of the stream to him in the middle of him trying to broadcast a game. I'm really looking forward to this becoming a norm for DIII. Exciting stuff!

Not looking good for the Home Team, (formerly known as the Indians).

Pat has run tonight's QOWI.

McM has a South Region record of 19-5.  We have an Index of 9.583.

9.583 times 24 games = 230 points.  Add 8 more points for a win over ETBU in December and we get 238.

Divide 238 by 24 games and we get an Index of 9.917.  That and our new In-region record of 20-4 puts us in the Low 30's and 5th best in the South Region behind Miss College, VWC, Centre (playing Trinity Sunday in the SCAC tourney finals) and the Pool B Maryville TN.

The ETBU loss is what is killing us!  Otherwise, we get a Pool C bid!

Ralph,

I attended yesterday's game between MC and McM.  McM got in a big hole early and could never recover.  MC played a very strong 1st half and seemed to overwelm the Indians.  The 2nd half was some what controlled by the officials.  There were a lot of fouls called and a lot of free throws shot.  There never really seemed to be a rythm in the 2nd half.  This was my first time to see either team play this year and there is no doubt who the better team is.  However, McM would never go away.  I was not impressed with the gaurd that you guys got back from injury.  He was not really a factor.

Congratulations on good season for the Indians.  Coach Holmes always does a great job with those guys. Maybe they will somehow grab a bid.  But if not, better luck next year.

MC has now beaten McM 6 out of the last 7 times the teams have met dating back to the ASC Championship game of the '02-'03 season.

t,  Moreno is a pure point guard.  What he did was to free up everyone else to play their position, Alvin Stevens and Bud Willis and Terrance Booker and Terrance Willis).   McM's record since his return is what we McMurry fans like about his contribution.  Please consider that factor when evaluating his play.

The baskets looked like they were rejecting our shots in the first half.  Nevertheless, Miss Coll has our number over the last few years and MC has recruited size that we haven't seen in years, probably since those 1999-2001 teams, when we were beating you. 

The video feed was outstanding.  I really felt like I was there.

Good luck Choctaws!  I am counting on Miss College making the Final Four, and nothing less!!!! This is the best ASC team since the 2000 McMurry team.  I am counting on the ASC getting our first win over a Great Lakes team in the NCAA playoffs.  Go ASC!

The feed was great yesterday.

I was very impressed with MC when I saw them in person at UTD.  I especially liked their passing and ball movement.

Ralph,

I was not bashing Moreno.  I was just under the impression that he was more of a scoring threat.  Anyway, good luck in the future and keep up the great posts.  I really enjoy reading them.

t money, sorry that I gave the wrong impression!  Moreno allowed Bud Willis and Alvin Stevens to focus on #2 and #3 functions!

Good luck, Choctaws!

Congrats to MC on another ASC crown. We'll all be gunning for you again next year.

Now c'mon Choctaws, win it all!
