I could not bring myself to pick on Thursday this being LC's and Josh's last game.  Josh, you have been a great player to keep up with and you have always made LC proud.  I wish you the best of luck in the future in whatever it is you do.  I hope you give playing overseas a try.  Thanks for you hard work.   

I guess I will pick for the last day. This is a huge day considering many schools seasons rest on today. 


TLU over HSU
MC over Tyler-This could be an upset waiting to happen, but I can't see them losing three at home!
CUA over Sul Ross
McMurry over SU-This to could not end well for McM
ETBU over UO-ETBwho at home and must win.
UMHB over HPU
UT-D over LeT.




58-33 on the season

Just curious...

What would your record have been this year if you had not picked any LaCollege games?  Please take those games out of your total and re-tally the numbers.  :)

ASCfan237

POY
Bryan Johnson - MC
--Best player in the conference
2. Dale Vanwright- close second


Newcomer
Dale Vanwright - LETU

Defensive POY
Josh Chambers - ETBU_ keeps players from even entering the lane.


Coach
Terry Butterfield - UTD- Not very talented but run their stuff to perfection
(Sidenote: Bob Davis - LETU- does not deserve this award. He underachieved last year and did not make the playoffs and this year his team is stacked. He should win every game by 20 with the likes of Evers, Vanwright, Smith, and Rockmore. I am pretty sure if any other team in the conference had Vanwright they would be dominating too.) 

1st Team
Dale Vanwright - LETU
Bryan Johnson - MC
Josh Johnson - LC
Anthony Reese - UTT
Temaine Wright - UTD (only because they have a great record. They are well rounded so it is hard to put him in here over the other two wings but I think he is more important).


2nd Team
Josh Chambers - ETBU
Hakeem Kareem - UTT
Chris Williams - UO
JJ Rockmore - LETU
Ernie Lowry - UTD

Honorable Mention
Jacob Turnipseed - ETBU
Jeremiah Pojah - ETBU
Clarence Jeffery - MC
Jeremy Clark - UO
Marlon Hill- UTT
Dusty Evers - LETU

I definitley see your arguement, but in his defense, I don't think you are giving enough credit to how good our league is to even consider anyone winning games by 20 points.  If that were the arguement every year, MC wouldn't even get any consideration.  Please also consider that Coach Davis RECRUITED these studs and convienced them to come to the most expensive school in the conference. 

Last year, LETU did underachieve, but we also lost our starting PG - which we see can be a very important aspect of the game (look at McM)

So with that being saidm while I see your argument, let's not just rule him out yet :-) 

Ralph Turner

McMurry 97 SU 78
UT-D beat LeTU.
Tourneys are at UT-Dallas for the men and McMurry for the women.


McM Blue Devil

Jmnaseum,

I guess your prediction about the McM slide did not turn out the way you wanted huh?

Okay, ETBU fans...

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

Team......Conference...West...East...
UTD13-37-16-2
LeTU12-47-15-3
MissColl11-55-36-2
UTT9-77-12-6
ETBU8-83-55-3
UOz8-85-33-5
LaColl2-141-71-7



Crossover games counted towards the tourney...revisited!


Team......Conference...West...East...
UTD16-47-19-3
LeTU14-67-17-5
MissColl14-65-39-3
UTT12-87-15-7
ETBU11-93-58-4
UOz8-125-33-9
LaColl2-181-71-11

ETBU is in if only ASC-East division games count.

MissColl would have three losses in East Division play (ETBU, UT-D, UT-T)
UT-D would have three losses in East Division play (UOz, MissColl, at ETBU).

HPU2-55-97-14
TLU2-54-106-15
Schreiner0-76-86-15

*SRSU is the #4 seed by virtue of its win over McMurry.

UMHB wins the West.

I still believe that that is a bad rule and I hope that it is changed for next year.  If we were not counting East Region games, then late-developing Schreiner would be the 4th seed by virtue of their win over UMHB.

CTX is knocked out of the playoffs under this scenario.  The travel inequities are just not fair in this conference.

Don't count the Crossover Games towards the Divisional title!

you are preaching to the choir.  Etbu won 8 of the last 11 or something like that, but the hole we dug with early losses was too much.

Precisely!

Maybe we can get that changed next year!

BTW, are you a bass or a tenor?   :D

This year's tourney has another chance for men's and women's teams to share the throne room.

The teams in bold are those in which both the men's and women's teams have won a divisional crown or a share of the crown.  Since the beginning of divisional play, no team has won both Men's and Women's ASC Conference titles.

63-35 on the season.  Not bad, Ralph i am not sure exactly but I think I probably would have had about 16 more wins if I had not picked LC.  Would have been a pretty good year.  I am not an ETBwho fan but if I am themn I am not happy Sul Ross gets in and they don't.  I think the conferene should actually be embarrased by this.  They might as well just let everyone compete in the tournament if they are going to do it this way.


Predictions for the tournament:

McMurry over Tyler-Could go either way though.
MC over CTX
UMHB over LeT
UT-D over Sul Ross


McM over MC
UMHB over UT-D

McM over UMHB

81-19!  That is about 6 games better than most of the statistical indices do.  ;)

Let me look at the SRSU season more closely, and I will get back to you on that.

Not sure how mad ETBU fans can be since we lost to SRSU

Here is what Home Court Advantage/Road Margin means for SRSU...

That is an average of 14.8 ppg in the swing.

SRSU went 6-8 against the West.
