HPU 81  at UMHB 79.  2-game lead for the Jackets with 7 to go. 

The Jackets have to come to Abilene for McM and HSU and then to Alpine on Feb 9th, 11th and 13th, but the rest of the schedule favors HPU!

dballa, will you be hosting the dignitaries in your Skybox at the 2006 Men's ASC Post-Season Tourney in the Brownwood Mausoleum Coliseum?

Ralph sorry I didn't get to reply sooner I just got back from Belton.  What an amazing day.  Down by 11 with 5 mins to go in the game and Kendrick Johnson goes absolutely crazy making shot after shot to bring HPU back.

That was one crazy environment and even Coach P got into it.  One of the students yelled out "Coach it's getting hot in here why don't you take off your jacket" and Coach didn't back down said "Why don't you come take it off me" haha gotta love it.

The rest of the way should be a lot of fun to watch...
Ralph I can get you a front row seat but not so sure about the skybox

Mississippi College beats Ozarks, 71-54.  I had to leave the broadcast before the game was over and I was afraid it was going to be much worse than 17 points! 

Shooting percentage was the story here -- MC shot 63% in the second half, Ozarks shot 23%. Ouch.  At least we outrebounded them, 53-33 (but I guess there are lots of rebounds to be had when you're missing 8 of every 10 shots!).

For MC, Powers had 12, Eugene had 11, and Winford had 10.  Ozarks had two guys with double-doubles -- Joyner with 17 points and 16 rebounds, and Kareem with 11 points and 13 rebounds.

Hope things are different next Saturday in Clarksville. . . .

dballa, we needed uMHB to bring HPU back to the pack!

Ouch!  11-point lead with 5 minutes remaining?

McM and HSU needed that one badly.

For UMHB stays in contention for the title, they need to win at Brownwood.  That SRSU-HPU road trip next week could make or break the MHB season.  SRSU is on the edge of the 4th seed.

Aerie,

You guys always play us tough in Clarksville and I suspect that next Saturday will be no different. MC played much better the second half, but there is reason to be concerned when looking at the rebounding difference. You guys owned the boards and if that is the case next week then the Chocs will be in trouble. I know you guys will shoot better @ home.

[Ralph Turner]

MC's Jazmine Eugene on the front page?

Great!   

[dballa]

I really love HPU's chances of hosting the tournament.  Not to say they don't have a lot of work to do but with 4 out of the last 7 games being at home, it makes life a lot easier.  This weekend we'll finally have all the students around for the home games and should be fun to watch.  We always bring a crowd to Abilene so that road trip will be exciting and the key weekend to see who will be on top.  Only fitting it will be in the "key" city Ralph

I'm just trying to figure something out here but isn't it NCAA policy that players ejected for fighting are suppose to be suspended for their next game?  Acosta for SRSU and Ford for UMHB were both ejected from their game Thursday night for fighting, yet both played in Saturday's games.  Does the ASC have some overriding rule, were they ejected for some other reasons, or was it just not reported?

[Pat Coleman]

Appendix I
Fight Reporting
Procedures
BR-154

1. The referee shall inform the offender(s), the head coach and the official
scorer that an ejection for fighting was issued (the official scorer shall
note this in the scorebook).
2. After the game, the referee shall contact the coordinator of officials/
assignor for the game and report all ejection(s) for fighting.
3. The coordinator of officials/assignor shall report the ejection(s) for fighting
to the conference commissioner or, if the offender is from an independent
institution, to that team's athletics director.
4. The conference commissioner shall call and follow up in writing to the
following people:
a. The athletics director of the team whose individual(s) was involved
and
b. When the opponent's individual(s) was ejected for fighting, that
team's conference commissioner or, when that school is an independent
institution, to that team's athletics director.
5. Fight-reporting procedures should be handled quickly since the longterm
participation of the offender(s) shall be affected by a second fight.
6. Related considerations:
a. The head coach should withhold the offender(s) from the next scheduled
game even if the conference or athletics director has not contacted
him or her.
b. Institutional and conference policy dictates whether a suspended
individual shall be permitted to attend a game from which he or she
is suspended. If the individual(s) attends the game, he or she shall
not be in the team's bench area.
c. After a game, conference offices or the assigning authority may correct
an error in who was involved in a fight but can neither change
an official's ruling that a fight took place nor lessen the severity of the
penalty but may make the penalty more severe.

Assuming the first two things happened, it should have been automatic. Even if those things didn't happen, it looks like the rulebook is clear on what the coach should do.
