McMurry's games with TLU and Schreiner have been pushed back 24 hours due to the weather conditions.

McMurry campus closure has extended to Thursday.

Closure has been extended through Friday, with the games delayed another 24 hours. The players now hope to get on the road tomorrow (Friday) morning.

Did they get away this morning?

It took UTD 11 hours to get to Marshall from Dallas last night. That is pretty rough going into a big game like that. Glad to see they still pulled off a win.

Looks like the tourney will be at UT-Dallas.

It is yours to lose. You have a "1 1/2" game lead on ETBU.

Hopefully. Not for sure till its over though. 4 home games to end the season is nice though. I know the team is tired of traveling after so many away games in a row. Would love to be able to watch the tourney here in Dallas. Just be happy you don't have to travel all the way to Mississippi

I think everyone is in agreement.

IMHO, UTD is the most neutral of the home courts. There are plenty of fans from every school in the DFW area.

THE U - TD · February 06, 2011, 04:54:41 PM

Maybe more than UTD fans

. Although I must say, there have been some pretty good showings in the past couple years. ETBU last weekend was pretty good attendance. The National Tournament game against Wheaton had a great atmosphere. So UTD can occasionally draw a few hundred fans (out of 15,000 students) to take a study break.

TLU beats McM in Seguin, 66-55!

You really wonder which McMurry team will take the floor each night.

HSU swept TLU. McMurry only edges the Bulldogs at home and loses badly on the road.

McM went 18-53 on FG, 3-14 3FG, and 16-26 on FTs!

We fall a full game behind UMHB!

I sure was hoping that ETBU could have pulled out the East Division so that I could watch plenty of good basketball at one time but oh well UTD deserves it, they played great defense to beat ETBU Saturday. Crazy to think it 2 games against UTD, ETBU had 40 turnovers combined and the 22 saturday were just killer, hard pillto swallow to lose by 3 with that many turnovers. On the bright side, I thought that was a pretty great atmosphere for a Saturday game, normally Thursday night games are the most attended at ETBU

The Mississippi College - UT-Dallas basketball games scheduled for Thursday night in Richardson have been moved to Monday, February 14th at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The Mississippi College bus hit the road this morning shortly after 9:30 a.m. headed West, got to Shreveport, and realized it was much too dangerous to take the players and coaches the rest of the way. The bus headed back to Clinton and got back home around 4:30 p.m. The interesting thing is, the UT-Dallas campus was closed for the second straight day.

The MC games set for Saturday at the Univ. of the Ozarks are still on schedule. However, with the snow in Arkansas over the previous weeks, I would not consider that a sure thing.
