MBB: American Southwest Conference

I think McMurry will run right past Hardin-Simmons.  LeTourneau should win, but I see a close game and then I think Sul Ross will take care of HPU so I guess that I agree with you #1ascfanman

Mississippi College beat Wesley College (MS) last night 69-65 with Tyler Winford scoring 16, Kiki Christmas 15 and Prince Trotter 13 with 18 rebounds. MC played very well despite not shooting the ball great. We have next week off before hosting Hardin-Simmons and McMurry.

Not many are familiar with Wesley College, a bible college just outside of Jackson. They are talented with a bunch of quick guards, including a couple All-State players out of Jackson. They are already 6-8 with 12 road games against teams like Xavier, Mobile, Belhaven, Loyola and Spring Hill, some of them twice. They lost to Belhaven by scores of 79-77 and 74-65. Belhaven is a Jackson NAIA school that is 8-2 and won at ETBU 79-68 and led by as many as 25 late in the game.

The game doesn't help or hurt MC in the regional rankings, but it is a game against a quality team during our two week period of no games. Hopefully it will help before our big games against HSU and McMurry a week from Monday.

Ozarks at Hendrix today at 4 p.m.  U of O is providing radio.  Should be a good game.

If you can post the scores on the ASC In-game update board, I will appreciate it!

[Tball275 UO]

Of course.  I'll keep everyone updated.

Well I was completely wrong on all of my predictions.  Anyone at any of the games? Lamar beat my LC squad 117-67 .  I thought we would have played a little closer than that.  Wow, ETBwho beats LeT it rain by 3 , Homer Simpson beats McNasty and Hickory Pines beats Sully.  I did a little looking, HSU 2-1, ETBU now 2-1, and McM 0-3 in conference   Be a while since this has happened.  Can anyone give any insite on these three teams.  I know HPU and Sull Ross go to ETBu and LET, this next weekend and MCM and HSu come to us and MC.

McMurry led HSU by 15 with 16 minutes left in the game.

They trailed  LeTU by 17 with 5 minutes left in the first half, and led by 2 with 2:22 left in the game.

They led ETBU by 13 in the first half and then by 3 with 2:47 left.

Coach Holmes must be pulling his hair out!  Are we missing Alvin Stevens and Kenny Gardner that much from last season?  We have 7 returners who had significant playing time last year.  This seems to be a leadership issue among the players.  Who is pulling this team?  Who should be leading this team?

We are down 3 games and it is a long way back.  This is a real gut check as this team corrects the problems and prepares for the qualifying for the tourney!

ETBU beat Letu on the defensive end of the floor Saturday.  That's not something we have always been able to do.  Other than Cooper this team doesn't have a lot of star power.   I think of it as the sum of its parts is greater than the whole.  About 6 or 7 guys made key contributions late in the second half.  The freshman Josh Chambers has a chance to be something pretty special.  He helped off his man to block a JJ Rockmore shot with less than 10 seconds left.  He had 10 pts and 6rbs along with 3 blocks in 16 minutes.  Chambers, Hickman, and Waneck all helped hold Dusty Evers to a pretty poor day.  The quickness also gave him trouble and helped to get him in foul trouble. If we can find a consistent scorer to go along with Cooper we should be very tough down the stretch.

Kudos to ETBU on the defensive end... The YellowJackets never got comfortable offensively.  The Tigers held LETU to just 31 percent shooting.  A key moment in the game came late in the first when the Jackets were up 9 and it looked like they had a chance to break the game open, but the Tigers closed with a 5-0 run.  They took the lead right off the bat in the second half and then held on.  I was very impressed with Josh Chambers.  He's 6-7 and has very long arms.  He's built like Kevin Durant, obviously without the game, but he showed that he could finish up close.  I was bummed after watching the game, but if you had told me that the Jackets would be 2-1 after their first three road ASC games I would have taken it.

Ozarks beat Hendrix today 93-82. Hendrix was 4-1 with their only loss being 79-64 against Millsaps.

Good win for the Eagles.  Four bench players scored in double digits for Ozarks.  Ozarks forced 15 Hendrix turnovers and the Eagles only turned the ball over five times.

Thanks for all the insight, looks like everyone will be competing to the very end to get into the tournament .  Looks as if it will be a crazy year for the ASC.

HPU 78 ETBU 60 FINAL.

Didn't get to listen to it because HPU didn't do radio and ETBU didn't set up their link properly.

HPU got 19 from Lee Scott and Daytona Burch scored 17 with 10 boards.

They aren't a very big team but they are getting the wins.
