38 free throws for hsu to 14 for etbu.  Very hard to win giving up an advantage like that.

To expound on that last comment, ETBU was called for 27 fouls, while Hardin-Simmons was whistled for only 14 in their first conference game at home.

Thus, HSU reached the double-bonus each half and ETBU received just a single trip to the line each half because of the bonus.

I dont think it did but I wanted to make sure that my post was misunderstood.  I was not putting fault on the refs. You just cant give up that many more free throws.

Solid win last night for the Cowboys!  Good game by Jean and a solid defensive effort by Peters on Isom who played pretty good defense on him for most of the game.  Kudrna and Pickelman were their usual selves.   Good effort against a tough ETBU team Cowboys.

Go get one Saturday Cowboys!

Went to CUA vs. MC last night.  CUA is the best I have seen them since I was in school, MC is really good.  Not sure if they deserve #2 in the nation yet, but they do have a chance of winning the whole thing.  I was very impressed.  They are big, athletic and really pace the game well.  I am interested to see the score of UMHB and MC.

I am embarrased by the way the fans acted at the end of the Ozarks vs. Sul Ross game on Thursday night.  There is no need to sing songs to them, scream hateful things at them because they lost.  I feel that Sul Ross is very fortunate to have won that game.  It was a good game played by both teams and for the Lobo fans to treat the Ozarks team like they did is very uncalled for.  The Lobos play with a lot of heart and class.  If only the fans could show a little.

Who becomes UOz's travel partner next year?

Not to be ignorant or anything, but what's a travel partner? 

[warped]

a travel partners consists of 2 teams who travel on the same road trip..for example...MC and LC are travel partners and if MC is playing at UMHB then LC is playing at CUA since UMHB and CUA are travel partners...

Travel Partners:
MCM and HSU
CUA and UMHB
AC and OZAarks
TLU and SCHREINER
LETU and ETBU
UTD and UTT
SRSU and HPU

etbualum -- I was not at the game and I do pull for HSU, but I agree with you that such a margin requires examination. The explanation could be the refs/home cooking. That will be revealed if such a pattern continues throughout the season and/or over the years. On the other hand -- and having played some roundball in my day (the laces were gone by then), sometimes  a team plays overly aggressive or is "outquicked" by the other team and, so, more fouls result. Also, it would be interesting to chart out the game to see how/when the fouls occurred. A defense sometimes can incur more fouls at a point when the other team has shifted its offensive scheme and/or package.

Aerie head, welcome aboard!  Thanks for asking for the clarification.  Sometimes we older posters may not explain some terms, concepts or even NCAA regualtions in ways that new posters can understand!

McM got out to a 10-2 lead then ETBU game back with a 15-2 run.  It is now 17-12 ETBU, 14:54.

McMurry has already put in its 2nd five.  Media time out.

[Ralph Turner]

The Tigers are playing the up-tempo game well, leading 21-12.  13:35.  The challenge will be whether the Isoms and company can sustain this pace.  McMurry will run 2 and 3 lines (more like hockey and less like the Grinnell system.)
