Wow dballa! Way to go Jackets!

And oh no! Melvin Allen is back! I wish you could have picked up that one, ETBU!

The CCIW board was commenting how UT-Dallas was not rolling over for IWU at the Wabash Little Giant tourney.

Sounds like this conference might be a very competitive one this year. It will definitely not be easy to make the top 4 on either side. Should be a lot of fun to watch this year

UT-Dallas lost to Illinois Wesleyan #1 team in the nation 71-58 tonight.

#22 Aurora 98, McMurry 86. Aurora pulled away in the second half. This is a veteran team that is likely to win the NIIC. Aurora IL is only 20 miles away from Wheaton IL, so it was practically a "neutral-site" home game.

McMurry is likely to play Concorida WI tomorrow in the consolation bracket.

McMurry had 11 players play double-digit minutes. Looks like the players are learning the system!

From the scoreboard McNeese St 68 UMHB 63

North Texas 85
HSU 48

The 23-0 run by NT (D1) at the beginning of the second half was a "killer."

Should be good playing experience anyway...Go Cowboys!!!

Way to go ETBU Tigers!

SI had Northwestern State as the #61 seed in their pre-season March Madness bracket.

UMHB goes to McNeese and only looses by 5.

From what I heard they were up by as much as 12 in the first half. If UMHB can keep this kind of play and intensity against the rest of the ASC, they will roll through conference and host the tourney.

This is a lte report from the McMurry Game last night but here it goes.

Overall, this team is still learning. They played hard and at times the pressure defense was effective, however they still made mistakes which at times led to layups by Aurora and many good looks from behind the arc. Make no mistake, Aurora is a really good team that had to play its best (shooting nearly 60%) to beat a team this is still coming together. Offensivley, McM seemed to struggle most of the night, another sign that there is still work to do.

Tonight we take on Concordia, which should be another interesting test.

McM Blue, the Indians led at the half 51-44. They are up by 16 with 17:54 minutes left, 64-48.

Tee Jay Void has 10 2nd half points in a hurry.

Ralph Turner · November 19, 2005, 08:36:41 PM

McM 76 CU-W 56, 14:15 left. Indians have been able to run.

Titan Q · November 19, 2005, 08:50:47 PM

Alma 71
UT-Dallas 69

Great game to watch - the Comets battled back from 18 down to tie the game with about :20 left. An Alma player hit a tough shot to put them up 2 with :04 to go. A Martin Salinas 30 footer was short at the horn.

The Salinas kid is really a player.

Ralph Turner · November 19, 2005, 08:51:45 PM

McM 87-66, 10:01 left. The CU-W has been surprised that McM has been able to score 36 points in 10 minutes of play.

McMurry has lots of steals and lots of points off the transition.

Four McMurry players are already in double figures and two more have 9.

Thanks for the report, Q!
