I thought of that, but had some work to do at home.

We need LC-UMHB scores (men and women).

UMHB won both!

Ralph Turner · January 08, 2009, 10:52:38 PM

MissColl 87, CTX 81.

Cover2, thanks. Lady CRU dodged a bullet in Pineville!

UMHB needs to win in Clinton on Saturday!

Anyone know where I can see a boxscore from the McM LeT game...........East continued to show its dominance last night, very impressive

McM-LeTU Boxscore

I like McM PG Robert Moreno's 10 assists, 4 steals, 4 turnovers line in 34 minutes.

McM seems like the team to beat in the West....how did UT-Tyler beat them?

That was a road game in Tyler. UTT beat us on offensive rebounds 19-11. The team had just not figured out its chemistry in only the fourth game of the season. Lots of reasons that are being addressed.

McM at UT-Tyler

This is shaking out the way that I thought in the inter-divisional (crossover) games.

If we can beat ETBU (who always plays us hard; Arrrgggggghhhhhhhh!), and if Mississippi College can defend home court against UMHB, then we have a three game lead on UMHB and CTX in the crossover games!

I'll take it! But, I don't think that it is fair.

I believe the coaches need to vote, next year, to begin the "divisional" play with intra-divisional games only! Crossover games should not count in the Divisional standings!

Yes! Play the crossover games, because they count as South Region games, the games that the NCAA looks at for Regional Rankings which will be released in February.

But I strongly maintain that the single round-robin crossover schedule and the inherent differences in home court advantage should not "knock-off" a team in the divisional standings!

Mississippi College is already 2 games behind the leaders and needs to beat UMHB tomorrow to hold that! What if it comes down to that UTT home win over McMurry and UTD road loss in Abilene to McMurry being the difference in hosting the tourney?

Well, I know we're all looking at head-to-head and records right now. But I wonder if the bigger question for these top-notch teams right now is this: Who is truly balanced.

I've learned from watching McMurry over the past 3 or 4 years that, even though they've been very competitive, they didn't seem to have a REAL chance in big matchups. They'd take care of the lower and mid-level teams, but UMHB and MC would come to town with good guards & talented post players and win.

I think McMurry is very balanced this year...But I haven't had a chance to see very many men's games. Who else seems balanced at the starting five?

Ralph Turner · January 09, 2009, 07:43:26 PM

jungle, having seen UTD versus Guilford and SRSU, the Comets don't beat themselves.

I think that they can control the style of play to favor the "big men" that they play.

You guys are making interesting insights. Unfortunately my team is not going to be in the discussion this year if things don't turn in a hurry. We really need to beat CTX. With that being said we are nearly out of this thing and haven't played an East team yet. We always compete in the East and if we went by that we might have got in last year.

Exactly my point!

Next year, I hope that the coaches will vote that way!
