MC over LC............bloooooowout!!!!!!

LeT over OU
HSU over SU....X
UTD over ETBU
CTX over HPU....X
McM over TLU
UTT over LC
UMHB over SRSU

HSU over TLU
McM over SU
CTX over SRSU......X
UMHB over HPU
MC over UTT
UTD over LeT

44-16
CTX goes 0-2
MC UTT an UTD LeT both are great games, seems like the other teams in the East are going to have problems finishing ahead of these 4.
Did not think McM should have struggled as much against SU with Moreno out. Most teams have handled SU with ease, looks like Coach Holmes statement in the paper was a good one.

And i'll go ahead and pick UTD over OU on monday.

You got to feel for Ozarks, They have a trip to dallas for a game on monday, a 5 hour trip back, then a 5 hour trip to tyler for a game on saturday and back, then a trip to MC the next thursday, then to LC from there and then back. Thats gotta be the worse back to back weeks of anyone this year and it doesnt help they are coming off of 2 losses at home

Actually, I think that the TLU and SU games prove what Moreno, the ASC POTW from the week before, actually brings to the team.

Schreiner brought its "A" game.  They hit 14-42 on 3FG's.  Going down the stretch, David Flannery, 11-29 on FTs' prior to the game, hits 4 straight!

Schreiner has one of those styles that can get hot and kill you!  Schreiner must have been pumped after the HSU win.  Also, Schreiner only lost at Trinity by 11 and at Ozarks by 3.  The key to Schreiner, tho', is that Ralph Turner fellow!  He hit 8-9 FT's vs McM himself!

14-42 on 3FG's is only 33% thats not amazing. Thats actually sad that they shot 42 3's........did McM just sit back in a zone and let them shoot or were they just not able to guard them?
Nothin against Ozarks but they are always inconsistent, they were prolly overlooking the Schreiner game. Which McM probably did the same. Every other team from the East beat them pretty bad. LC even beat them by 11.  McM had 93 so it wasnt that they couldnt run the offense without Moreno, I know it was in OT but they let a team who averages 61 points a game to score 87. At the end of the day i dont think its  big concern because the West is fairly weak this year an there is no other 4 teams that can pose a threat against McM to keep them out of the tournament. And as for the West i dont think seeding really matters because the 4 teams from the East are going to be so good. If it started today, MC would be the 4 seed and they are a very good team. It could very easily be the opposite of last year where the West will not win a tournament game.

Thanks for the comments, Pete.

Actually, I think that Schreiner was bouyed by its win at HSU and brought its "A" game across town.

Going into the McM game, SU was hitting 26.3% of its 3FG's.  That is 3 fewer 3FG's per game on 42 attempts.

Moreno is #34 in all D3 in steals (2.667 spg), trailing on TLU's Dotson at #26 (2.727 spg).

He is #7 in the country in assists at 7.5 apg.  I cannot undervalue Moreno's contribution to the team.

Hopefully he will be back by Thursday.

Moreno is a great player and I'm almost positive if you took the team leader and playmakers off of any good team they would have a drop off. Regardless McM found a way to win without its most pivitol player which is scary for all the teams in the West.

A shoutout to the UTD website for the audio streaming and the livestats!

Remember that fans!

Just looking at some box scores....did Cooper leave ETBU or is he injuried?

[etbualum]

He looked fine yesterday at practice.  He may have been injured.

If moreno still isnt playing I can see them going 1-1 or 0-2 very easily

[kid nice]

Surprised everyone is picking LET over MC.  I would rather be the underdog at this point.

Our hearts and prayers tonight are with McMurry guard Scott Hurley.  The freshmen was driving to the basket at the end of the game, up seven points, when number 42 for Sul Ross quite literally threw him to the ground.  Scott landed on his head, and was unconscious for quite some time.  After 15 minutes or so he was taken out by ambulance.  I'm told he's talking, and moving all of his extremities.  He was taken to a local hospital, and we pray he doing fine.

I must say, and I hope you all can forgive my frankness, I've never...in my 19 years of watching DIII basketball seen a more classless act by a coach.  The Sul Ross head coach, while Scott lay on the ground...Fought with the refs that a technical foul should be called on McMurry for going on the court after the injury.  The refs practically had to tell him to shut up and go back to his bench.  And then, after a very emotional 15 minutes of complete quiet in a very well attended game, he asked his team to keep fouling, down 12 with just seconds to go.  Keep in mind, you have literally hundreds of fans and players absolutely distraught...And a game that is OVER!

I'll refrain from saying what I TRULY think about this coach, but I do hope that the conference takes a serious look at whether or not number 42 should even be allowed to play the rest of the season.
