MBB: American Southwest Conference

HPU 86-69. Playing in the Mausoleum is always tough, but McMurry has been out-rebounded by HPU.

Usual home court advantage issues, but McM has not been crisp.

HPU is just much better tonight...but it's not the end of the world for the Indians. They need to regroup and get ready for Alpine...because SRSU loves it when we come to town and they will be tough.

I mean let's be honest...the Indians can look like conference champs one day like last Saturday and then very very average the next day like this game. They need to start showing some improvement this time of year!

Tigers hold on to win 73-71 against LC at home. Cedric Isom hit a turn-around with 3 seconds left to seal the deal. Tigers now 7-3 and the loss drops LC to 4-5 I think.

Finn, this was very ugly! Almost like a step backwards!

I thought that we could run them down. HPU 107-85. Final.

Congrats dballa! First place is yours!

About 6:20 to play - Ozarks leads by 10 (the announcers haven't said the score for a while). UTT is having foul trouble -- Ozarks has hit 22 of 26 FTs so far.

Aerie, keep it coming!

Final

HSU 84

SRSU 72

Ugly second half, but the Cowboys held on to win. (Many fouls and missed FT's by both teams.)

Aerie Head · January 12, 2006, 10:50:25 PM

1:30 to go, Ozarks leads by 12. Brandon Weasby just hit the first 3-pointer of the night for UTT. Patrick Branche (sp?) fouled out -- 3 other Patriots have 4 fouls.

Ralph it seemed like HPU beat McM at their own game tonight. It was definitely upbeat and once HPU got past that first trap it was just wide open and easy shots.

Great win by HPU over a very good physical McM team. But just like on the women's side, it's just one game and there's a long season ahead.

Congrats Yellow Jackets!!

Final: Ozarks 72, UTT 63.

UTT had a 38-32 lead early in the second half, but Ozarks went on an 11-0 run to take control of the game. UTT really had foul trouble -- two guys fouled out, and Ozarks hit 35 of 42 FTs. Ozarks must have made a defensive adjustment at halftime because the two UTT leaders in the first half (Henderson, 9 pts. and Salters, 10 pts) scored only 4 combined in the second half.

Scoring for Ozarks: Habeeb Kareem, 20 pts., 12 rebounds (and he sat out much of the second half); Brad Johnson and Chris Clark, 13 pts. each; David Hamilton, 12 points on 10 of 10 FT shooting.

Scoring for UTT: Henderson, 13 pts., 8 rebounds; Vanderbilt, 10 pts., 11 rebounds; Salters, 10 pts.

Well, it's nice to come out of Tyler with a win after such humiliation in Abilene last Saturday.

Any thoughts on what ails our McM men? The thinking at the start of the season was that as we got used to the new system, the guys could only get better. But my understanding of the system is that you have to have a deep bench, with everyone playing and playing well. Could it be that we don't have the depth right now to maximize the system? We started out great against HPU, and then just faded out.

I am a former McMurry Indian, I know coach basketball in a small community near Belton. One of my players is closely related to the UMHB community and he told me this morning that Gatlin was lost to grades and they played their first game without him. This will greatly effect the CRU.
