MBB: American Southwest Conference

[warped]

if MC can be ranked #2 then i guess UT Dallas can be also...remember they did beat them pretty good in the finals of the conference tourney @ MC...i really don't buy into rankings..yes it looks good for your program...but no ranking has ever decided the conference champion or national champion..

[MC Boy]

Everyone knows that the UT Dallas@ MC game last year was a fluke. UT Dallas wasn't half as good as MC, UT Dallas knows that also. MC deserves their ranking and they are going to show you and everyone in the nation that this program is one of the best in the country. They didn't lose anyone but the point guard, and they always recruit well. Before the season last year they were picked to win it all and they had lost majority of their players, so that should tell you something. MC is going to bring the noise this year just wait and see!

Rankings are earned over the full season, not just one game.

Does anybody know when the conference pre season rankings come out?

Ralph,

How good can the Indians be this year?  Can we expect a battle between the CRU, the Lobos and the Indians?

[Ralph Turner]

LC had some damage to the campus but nothing severe. I believe this could be LC's year if they pull together as a team. Got some good recruits in this year. LC will be in the ASC Tournament this year you can count on it. We start practice on Sat. My predictions for the East this year:
     1.  ETBU
     2.  MC
     3.  UTT
     4.  UTD
     5.  LC
     6.  Ozarks
     7.  Austin
     8.  Letourneau

POY - Cedric Isom

Can't forget about the Cowboys being in the mix with the Cru,Sull Ross ,and the Indians.  They only lost one player.

#2 may be a little high but I am glad that MC will have the oppourtunity to bring the spotlight to the ASC this year.  Ive heard they picked up the little point gaurd from Letu (I think his name was collins).  Winford is good but I dont know about All American.   11.9 PPG and 3.5 rbs from a post player is not that great.  He is a good player on a very good team but first team all american....I dont know.

I think John Collins could make a huge impact on MC this year. He has electrifying speed and was dominate at season's end as he learned to manage a game. His uptempo style might not fit MC to a "T' but they will have a very, very solid back court.

I'm sure Big John is anxiously awaiting his trip to Longview this year!!

Midnight Madness at McMurry was a great success!

There was a really big turnout and the administration did a great job.

Team looks really good.  Coaches Holmes and Vanlandingham have plenty of talent with which to work!

P.S., the coolest moment in Midnight Madness occurred when random drawings selected 3 fans from the crowd to try for prizes.  One guy and 2 gals were selected.

The first prize was for making a half-court shot.  The guy wearing a Duke Blue Devil jacket sank the first attempt from mid-court!  Swish! 8)  The crowd went "bonkers!"

I love how you say this might be LC's year, but you have them 5th in your predictions, basically saying that if UTT was eligible for the playoffs, that LC would be out. I'm just saying that is kinda weird.

And ETBU at #1? If Isom had a supporting cast I might agree. I think they take 3rd at best.

[LC-DBO]

Well the reason I have them 5th is b/c you know when the polls come that is what I predicted the polls would have us. You can say what you want but we have a much more improved team this year with a new addition to the team.
