But McM could never put Ozarks away.  An 8-point lead with 2 minutes to go just evaporated, and suddenly we were up by only 1 point.  If McM plays like this against UTD tomorrow night, we're toast (and I'm sure Coach Garnett has told the players that).
Alacumba!

Some interesting stats I found. Mississippi College before the Sul Ross game averaged 33 free throws a game. They shot seven at Sul Ross. The lobos commited 9 fouls in the game, or should i say "9 called fouls". Also, MC shot the least amount of three's they have attempted all year so more shots were closer to the goal which any person who has any basketball since would say that they should have attempted more free throws this due to most fouls commited during a game are around the basket.

Final McMurry 72  UT-Dallas 60

This is the best performance that I have seen this year.  (I missed the Barclay game, but they were not competitive.)

There did not seem to be any mental lapses today.

Final exams next week, and then HSU at the Mabee Complex on Tuesday Dec 14th.

THE U - TD

Wasn't able to watch, but from what I heard your pressure was causing a lot of forced shots.

I think that McMurry matches well with UTD.

THE U - TD

McMurry has won 5 of the last 6 matchups with UTD over 5 years.  Thats by far the best record any team has against UTD in the last 5 years.  Pretty impressive I think considering the success UTD has had.

Fans outside the ASC don't realize that matchups have so much to do with the outcomes in the ASC.

UTD matches up great on a national level.  In fact, I think UTD matches better than Mississippi College nationally.  UMHB has done okay, too.

But every school in the conference knows which team will play them tough, and we fans know which teams we think that we "are in their heads".

It makes for very enjoyable conference races and post-season tourneys.

THE U - TD

I couldn't agree more.  I think another thing that people don't realize is how many different styles of basketball there are in this conference, which relates to the matchups.   Where every night you are playing a different style whether its press the whole game like Concordia or an extremely athletic team full of juco transfers like Mississippi.  I can go down the list.  And then on top of that is of course the travel. I don't think any conference except maybe the SCAC travels as many miles

The UAA has the most travel.

They play on Fridays and Sundays.  That means that they are flying almost every weekend.

Travel partners are:

Brandeis (Boston) and New York U (New York City)

Emory (Atlanta) and Rochester NY

Case-Western Reserve (Cleveland) and Carnegie-Mellon (Pittsburgh)

Chicago and Washington-St Louis

I think the conference should look into not hiring referee's that give hugs to players right before the game on the court. What's your thoughts on that Ralph ;) ;)

I saw no referees hugging the players prior to the HPU-McMurry game tonight.   ;)

Final Score McM 87 HPU 67.

ETBU boys have hit a bump in the road after smooth sailing early, having lost their last 2 conference games on the road to Sul Ross and Louisiana College...have a big one coming Saturday as they are in Clinton to square off with Mississippi.  Need to string some wins together again fast!
