Not a bad birthday present for Tilmon, go Cru! Hopefully this will be a good start to what this season was supposed to be.

Congratulations, UMHB!  Nice win for you and the conference.

great win for the conference....looks like UMHB has added some players if I am reading the box score correctly. I guess they are admitting failure in the first semester of the season and have come back strong with reinforcements. Should be a great West race now.

I'll give my picks as well.

UMHB over Tyler..they are at home
HSU over UO
McMurry over Dallas...upset sort of, I think Dallas is ready to lose a couple

Dallas over HSU...bounce back from losing to McMurry
McM over UO
Concordia over UMHB...they are at home and they shoot it well too.

My picks for the weekend

UMHB over Tyler...UMHB has too much size for Tyler
UO over HSU.... Ozarks gets a big win
UTD over McM....structure and discipline over athletes in this one

UTD over HSU...UTD defense is too good
McM over UO...Ozarks plays hard but loses a tough one
UMHB over CTX...UMHB riding high with their new additions in 2009

UMHB and UTD going 2-0 for the weekend. UTD stays in first place and UMHB slowly climbs back to where they were last season

I think me and you ASCFANMAN should stop picking our own teams haha. I guess LC doesnt play this week but everytime I pick OU they lose. I guess the smart guy from UTD picks against his team and they win....I may adapt my style.

I believe this is my first time to pick against UTD, but im only tryin to better my record. Im sure Ralphs comment about how tough the Abilene roadtrip is will come anytime now! Best of luck to the comments tho. And as for ASCFANMAN, he will never pick LC to lose and well we all know what ends up happening.

Happy New Year to all!

Figure I'd give an update on my side of things here at LETU:

Congrats to UMHB for doing something LETU couldn't do UWW.  While LETU was down by 21 at half, they battled all the way back in the second half and got the game within 5 in the last minute.  They then had an uninspired win against Lake Forest the next day to go 1-1 in the Classic.  I am glad to see UMHB took care of business and represented the ASC well.  For the most part, both teams represented the ASC strongly.  Considering that LETU was picked very low in our conference, they proved that the play in ASC is improving.  Give credit for UWW to come down here after Christmas break and play in the tournament.  I am sure that is a very tough trip for them.

D.Smith is starting to come around and accept his role from off the bench.  Has played VERY well the last four games and is showing why he has been the leading scorer for this team since he has arrived on-campus four years ago.  Evers has continued his consisitent play through the year.  The last two games saw Vanwright not play up to his potential, which is good and bad.  The bad part, if Vanwright plays like he has been playing, I think that UWW game is a little closer throughout the game than just the last few minutes.  The good - if the Vanwright can get it going by Jan. 8th and Smith and Evers continue to play well, LETU could do some damage on our side of the conference.  

Still, if you would've told this LETU fan that we would be sitting 8-2, 6-0 in conference play with our two losses coming to the #16 D2 in the country (Ouachita Baptist, 9-3) and the #5 D3 team in the Country (UWW, 10-2) before the seasons starting - I'd chuckle at you!  However, we've pulled it off and played good basketball.  Still a long season to play, but so far it's been a good one!  Hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the New Year and are doing better in their Bowl Pick 'Em than I am!

I guess Cru from earlier in the week was right, I would hate to be Kenny Bizot at UT Tyler getting ready to play UMHB!

UT T must be tough, they lose all of their non conference games but beat up on the conference, hard to figure them out.

[Ralph Turner]

In a very tough ASC-West, I like that UT-Tyler beat UMHB (and McM beat UT-Tyler).

Now McMurry needs to beat UT-Dallas tomorrow afternoon.

I kind of hoped that stupid comment would bite Cru in the behind.  Never call out a Choctaw
