+1, and thanks for proofreading!  :)

I also noticed that Tuesday's  LeTU-ETBU score has not been reported to D3hoops.com.

I don't think LETU has replaced their SID yet, and I think coaches are handling it by committee.

Doesnt the ACC and SEC count crossover games in conference standings.  I am not sure but i know they do in football.  I don't care that LC is mathmatically out of it.  This is not rec. ball or a rec. league, its college basketball, it doesnt have to be fair and try to keep everyone even.  Recruit better and coach better.

Kid  nice, I maintain that the inter-division games are not fair to count towards hosting the conference tourney.

I strongly believe that the travel inequities that we face in the ASC cannot be balanced.  If MissCollege had played McMurry and HSU  in Clinton, and gone on the road to Schreiner and TLU, then you would be 11-2 and "tied" with UT-Dallas for the lead.

The single round-robin, especially with the travel inequities, is not fair in D-III.

In the ACC or the SEC, you don't have to worry about the crossover games as much, because the computer rankings systems are more precise (because of the greater number of nationally played games among D-1 schools), and because there are more "Pool C" at large bids available for the SEC and ACC and other D-1 teams in March Madness.

In March Madness (D-1), we have about 31 "Pool A /AQ" bids.  I count 34 at-large bids for the remaining 290 schools that don't get the AQ.  (That is roughly a 1:8.5 ratio.)

In D-III, we have 39 Pool A bids plus 3 more designated for Pool B.  There are 18 Pool C bids for the 353 schools that did not get an automatic bids (1 Pool C bid for every 19.6 schools.)  That is not even half as many at large bids.

I maintain that D-I and D-III are much too different.  Counting crossover games in D-1 and D-III are not the same.   :)

this is true - LETU's women's basketball coach is acting as the intern SID this year.  LETU's SID left right before school started.

McMurry website shows MCM over Concordia 99-93.

LC over UO-We finally are going to get one at home!:Incorrect :'(
McMurry over CUA-McMurry bounces back from the loss:Correct
TLU over HPU:Correct
UMHB over HSU:Correct
MC over UT-D-Tough one to call, MC struggled with UO, hard to see MC lose at home twice in one season.:Incorrect
SU over SRSU-SU is on a roll right now it seems:Correct
LeT over Tyler:Corret

42-28, starting to climb back up with some wins.  I am now concerned we may not win another game this year, I think even though UO is good I felt this was our best chance at a win.   :-[

I am sorry guys, hang in there, keep playing hard and try your best to finish strong.

For all the recent success that the LETU men's basketball team has had on the court, it's led to recognition off the court for people that contribute to the program on a daily basis.  Here is a great article written about the color commentator - Chris Stuckey - who calls our home basketball games.

I am awaiting my article as the "greatest LETU D3hoops.com poster" to be written very soon!

ETBU and UTT on the road this week, then four games at home!

Another outstanding line by McM PG Robert Moreno from last night's HSU game.

The Cowboys did everything they could last night to control the tempo of the game, to gain their rhythm, to make those 3FG's.

So now that we are halfway through the divisional play I wanted to know if anyone had any predictions on the top 4 teams on each side. Here are my thoughts:

East
1. UTD
2. LeT
3. MC
4. Ozarks

-A good team in ETBU ends up not making the tourny.

West
1. McM
2. MHB
3. Concordia
4. Hardin-Simmons

-Sad that ETBU and Tyler could both be the second seed in the East but they will not be going to Dallas for the tourny. Again, just my opinion....does anyone have their own opinion?

The fourth bid is up for grabs.

Hello jmnasuem!  You have been lurking too long!

Ralph, I'll even go a step further and predict the records for the remaining games.  We gotta get some more postings!

UMHB can go 6-1 with their remaining games
Sul Ross        4-2
CUA               4-3
McM               3-3
Schreiner       3-3
HPU               3-3
HSU               2-4
TLU                0-6

Predicted Final Standings:

McM     16-5
UMHB   15-6
CUA     10-11
Sch      9-12
SR        8-13
HSU     7-14
HPU     7-14
TLU      5-16

It's fixing to get entertaining with the remaining games!

Yeah, I don't know about those predictions. McMurry going 3-3 to finish? I realize four of the last six are on the road, but that just isn't going to happen.
