So long, Schreiner?

So, with McMurry moving to D2 soon (I think I remember that) and Schreiner going to the SCAC (apparently, unless I misread the article), what will that do to the ASC alignment? With Centenary joining the East, that would be 6 West/8 East. Would one of the Dallas-area schools switch sides for a 7/7, or would the ASC go to a Big East-ish style schedule? Or nothing?

Wow!  Schreiner gets to move to the SCAC! 
McMurry is going to D-2. Centenary is moving to the SCAC. I can imagine a 6West /7 East arrangement.

[CUAfan]

Yeah, I found the Centenary-to-SCAC info last night afterwards but didn't get a chance to correct it due to work. Looks like 6W/7E starting in 2013-14.

ETBU rolls over Ozarks 100-85: Division leading UT Dallas comes to town Saturday

Tigers have won 10 of last 11 overall and 8 straight at home

[CUAfan]

And that was a heck of a game! First double-OT game of the year in ASC play, if I'm not mistaken.

And I just want to point out, ETBU and UTD played 10 extra minutes of basketball and still played fewer possessions than CTX/HPU and HSU/Schreiner. Crazy.

[Ralph Turner]

Jekyll and Hyde McMurry...again

On consecutive Saturdays, they beat #6 UMHB and lose to TLU.

ARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!

[mcmfan]

Just wait until Monday and see what they do (or don't do) to HSU!!

Is this a sign of the end times?

When was the last time that HSU swept McMurry in men's basketball?

Thanks.
