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!

George,

Knowing what you do for a living, I would have thought you would have known better than to make those kind of allegations without the proof ready at hand.

I appreciate the apology but it's not a good replacement for using sound judgment in the first place.

So I thought I'd comment on a couple of LETU games:

vs. ETBU: Give ETBU credit, they are a good team, not a great one.  They are very athletic, but I don't know how many GREAT basketball players they have.  Chambers is unbelievable down low, but when you muscle him up, he can get in foul trouble.  They match up with LETU so well in that they can shut down Vanwright and Smith by just throwing athletes at us.  The game was a lot closer than indicated, obviously since it went into OT.  ETBU executed in the extra frame, LETU didn't.  ETBU hit some big threes early on and that just put us away.

Vanwright is playing with a severly sprained shoulder he suffered against UTT at home last week.  He didn't play the last 6 minutes of that game.  He played with a wrap on his shoulder and that affected his game.  Still, I think ETBU gives him a lot of trouble b/c they play such great defense and can keep throwing athletes at him.

vs. UTT:  I just think we match up very well with this team.  I am not impressed with what UTT has other than Reese.  I really think ETBU is better than this team.  Rockmore had a great night in the win, notching a double double.  Vanwright scored 19, with a lot of those coming at the charity stripe.  Great win for LETU and move a game closer to UTD.  Oh how big that MC game is looking next week.

thank you LC for pulling off a big win at Ozarks.  Thanks to LETU as well, we are not done just yet.

ETBU alum,

I always hate to help out ETBU ;) but I am just excited they got one and against a good team. I guess this is the one time I will say you are welcome.  Way to go guys!!!! Alum, you better be ready, our boys may just come down there and steal another one! ;D




McM over CUA-Correct
UTD over MC-Incorrect
UMHB over HSU-UMHB is playing well right now-Correct
LeT over Tyler-LeT bounces back to fluke loss to ETBU-Correct
SRSU over SU-Home team-Correct
UO over LC-Same reason as last pick-INCORRECT!!!! 8)
HPU over TLU-Incorrect

51-33, not a bad weekend on picks but pullin the record up.  Goal is to be 20 games up at the end of the year. I may have to keep picking against LC just to have us win a few!!!

Much better performance by McM vs CTX.  They played a good 34-35 minutes of the game, with only occasional lapses of BADD (Baller Acute Deficiency Disease).

Does anyone know the typical tournament schedule?  i.e. How many games on each day and typical start times?

This is what it looked like last year.  I assume it will follow the same set-up.

HOW HUGE are the last games of the season this year shaping out to be!

UTD @ LETU - a battle to secure anywhere between the 1st thru 3rd playoff spots.

UO @ ETBU - potential battle for the 4th and final playoff spot.

UTT @ MC - UTT hoping to nab a spot in the tourney, while MC could be jockeying for the 1st thru 3rd spots.

Somewhat fitting for LC not to be playing on the last day, however, can they play the roll of spoliers - see recent Ozarks game when LC went on the road and beat a very good Ozarks team. 

BTW - UTD has officially clinched a tournament spot.  LETU needs 1 more win or ETBU/UO loss.

Okay, ETBU fans...

If you don't make the tournament, please consider whether crossover games should count towards the divisonal standings and the tourney.

I can tell you for certain that the crossover games will continue to count for a few more years for sure.  In fact, the vote wasn't even close.

Oh, I don't doubt that the vote may not have been close.

Sometimes you just keep trying to pound the lesson into thick skulls who don't understand, yet.

That is the nature of coaching!   :D

Let's just take the top six East teams and the top two West teams to the tourney. 
The East is stronger, plus keep the losing records out!!

Never heard any complaining when it was the East having a bad year. There have been losing records in the tournament before. It goes in cycles.

HPU (loosing record) beat Mississippi (winning record).   

Go figure.
