MBB: American Southwest Conference

[Li'l Giant]

Underwood's sounds familiar. Of course, it was the summer of 2003 and I've had a LOT of brain cells killed by beer since then.

When I was in college I had a girlfriend that went to Grinnell. I went to see a game or two when I would visit her. That's not basketball. There's nothing wrong with up-tempo. I rather like it. But "the system" does nothing for me. I know next to nothing about the WIAC.

The sense I got from listening to this game tonight was that Concordia didn't really care if HPU scored because they were going to get their points. Sure enough, they got hot the middle of the second half and took the lead. But HPU answered. It seemed to be a game of runs.

The unsubstantiated word on the street is that McMurry has had some players quit.  What's the deal Ralph?

If this rumor is indeed true, it will mean that the top 3 teams in the West are somewhat short-handed (Gatlin out for UMHB, Johnson for HPU). 

[Ralph Turner]

Three players are no longer with the team.  I have heard that 2 of them are still in school, in good academic standing, and on track to graduate.  Since i am not on campus, I do not have first-hand information and I know nothing else.

I think that might wrap up the east for the chocs

[dballa]

with 5 games left you are right hoopstar they've clinched 1st place in the East.

HPU can clinch the West title next weekend with wins against McM and HSU in Abilene.  Definitely will not be easy.

MC 75, Ozarks 67

MC came out hot -- I swear they must have hit 7 of their first 8 shots, including something like 3 3-pointers.  They led at halftime 39-35.  But Ozarks took the lead with about 15 minutes to go (sorry I can't be more detailed -- need to remember to take a pen to the game with me  ) and it was back and forth from that point -- neither team could go up by more than 3.  Then with about 5 minutes to go, Ozarks had a string of bad luck (bad calls?), including a timeout awarded to MC on what looked like a contested possession.   With less than a minute to go, MC led by 8. David Hamilton hit a 3-pointer to cut it to 5, but then we couldn't get another one in three tries, and MC hit some free throws to stretch it out.

For MC, Broomfield had 15 and Winford had 13.  For Ozarks, Kareem had 16.

MC is big, and deep -- they could send in a whole other five at once, and there wasn't much difference in the quality of their play.    First loss at home for the season.  Good game, anyway.  I feel like I need to go run a couple of miles to get rid of this excess adrenelin!
