Look how close the games really were the first time around. (granted Moreno didn't play in some)

Beat SR by 10 -- Barely got HPU by 2 in a game that HPU dominated -- Barely got by Schreiner by 2 in OT -- Already been beat by UMHB -- and barely beat CUA by 6. 

AT Sul Ross, Howard Payne and Schreiner then having to play the second and third place teams in the West...... McM may go 2-4 over the last 6 games

February Madness in the ASC

February Madness in the ASC 
* Moreno played less than 60 seconds.  FT 3-4, one steal that led to 2 more points.  Moreno changes that game from a 5 point game to a 10 point game.

** Without Moreno.

***Without Scott Hurley, freshman backup guard.  McMurry led by 16 with 2:40 left.  CTX just went 3-pt bonkers, as they are wont to do!  Having Hurley back ( when, I don't know) will give extra depth to the guard position.

I respect your comments.  McMurry has "the target" on its back, once again.  Everyone brings their "A" game against McMurry.

We can look at this stretch of games and see whether Moreno makes his case for MVP of the conference.  :)

Was anynone at the ETBwho and LeT it out game last night?  Looks like it was a good one. 

Here are my picks for the weekend:

HPU over SU-Tough one to call but going with the home team
CUA over HSU-Could be wild and crazy with all the three's going up
UTD over LC-Maybe picking against my team will help ???
McM over UMHB-McM bounces back to beat them at home(Will the coach being AD affect them?)
SRSU over TLU-Long trip for two what seems to be evenly matched teams
MC over UO-MC will be ready for them this go around.
UT-T over ETBU- ETBU is hot right now but I think the flame flickers on the road against a tuff Tyler team

McM over CUA
UTD over MC
UMHB over HSU-UMHB is playing well right now
LeT over Tyler-LeT bounces back to fluke loss to ETBU
SRSU over SU-Home team
UO over LC-Same reason as last pick
HPU over TLU


42-28 going into the weekend

I am not going to predict the final standings but if I were I would lean toward UO gettting the fourth spot.  The East is getting crazy with the ETBwho win last night.  I just don't know if they are for real or not and if they can keep winning the tough close games.

I was at the LETU and ETBU game last night? Did you have a question? Great atmosphere to be apart of.

It audio-streams at 6-8pm EST, and will be archived for listening later.

I know how good LeT is, how good is ETBU?  It looked like Vanright did not play too much,was it injury, or did ETBU do a good job on him.  This ETBU team is hard to figure and I wanted someone's opinion on how good they really are and are they going to threatin to get in the tournament and if so do they have a chance.  We beat them twice last year and I was not impressed with them all that much.  Just want some insight.

Stop living in the past. No one cares that yall beat them twice last year. Yall were close to the tourney last year but yall have won one game this year. Last year doesnt matter. Vanwright played 30 minutes, heard he got hurt but thats a good amount of minutes. ETBU is good. they are so athletic and they can all shoot. Lafrance Cooper was one of the best players in the East last year and hes coming off the bench. I think they can beat anyone on any given night.

Pete,

No need to take a shot at me, I was only refering to last year because we weren't all that good last year and we really aren't good this year.  Unfortunatley everyone is beating us this year.  My reference to that was have they really gotten that much better since last year to be this good this year.  I should have explained that better but I promise you I am not living in the past as you say.

Not takin shots, you just basically said yall beat em twice last year so you dont see how they are good this year. And yall werent horrible last year, close to making the tourney. And i remind you that ETBU did make the tourney last year and did not lose many key players. Chambers and Pojah are solid at the post. Long and athletic, good on the defensive end. They attack the glass an can score. I think Morman is one of the most underrated. Just going by looks, turnipseed looks like a horrible player and hes not impressive during warm ups. Hes not very quick, hes not going to lock someone down on defense nor is he going to go by his defender. He looks kind of chunky an that could explain why he basically walks the whole time hes on the court besides when hes comin off the ball screen. He doesnt have good form and his shot is slow. With all that said, this kid can shoot. He gets his points. UT Tyler looks like the only team to shut him down and hold him to only 3 points. I think the only reason he scores is because teams cant figure out how to guard that ball screen. It will be interesting to see if UTT can shut him down again tonight. As i mentioned earlier Cooper was one of their best players last year and hes comin of the bench this year and doing a good job. None of the other subs are that impressive but this is a good squad. They can match the athletes that Ozarks and UTT have and they have a lot more size down low. Do not be surprised if this team sneaks in and gets the 4th seed. or even 3rd.

Boy, when you make a mistake you ought to make a big one.

Last night I wrote a post, which has since been taken off...I thought, really thought, I saw the UMHB coach point at 'himself' during the game against McM last night.

Since, I've spoken to someone...And I stand corrected!  Instead of seeing that pointing with emphasis, it was just a coach wanting a call....Something we see in every game....Every time.

So sorry for those of you who actually saw that post...I sure was upset at what I 'thought' I saw...But now I know it was something really quite mundane.

Sorry guys!

Jungle,

Thanks for the apology (I think).  I sure wish I knew what you were talking about because it sounds interesting.
