when Jean fouled out he said "Let's have a round of applause for Mordochee Jean!" i dont see the difference.

agreed, but MCM COACH should have spent the final seconds of the game in the locker room.

McM Blue Devil · January 31, 2006, 03:20:36 PM

there was contact between Bryant and Howard, whether intetnional or not it was there. That does not explain why Howard was on the floor to begin with.

Interesting how an event is seen two different ways. D3fanforlife, I will not argue with you but i did see things differntly. A technical should have been assessed the moment Howard left the bench and came onto the floor.

Trust me Coach Holmes wasn't looking for a fight. He is alot smarter man than that

they were not on the court, they were out of bounds

McM Blue Devil · January 31, 2006, 04:20:27 PM

HSU must have a very large sideline then.

minni · January 31, 2006, 05:39:40 PM

there was no cantact between the hsu coach and the player

they werent even close to eath other. a good 4 ft seperating the two. I even think coach howard pointed his finger at the player and that is when the mcm coach stepped out onto the floor. Thats ridiculous to even say that there was contact between the two (howard and player). Emotions were running a little high in the Mabee complex. needless to say the foul pushed it to the limit. Im sure both coaches look back on it today and laugh a little and maybe regret some of it. Great game last night to both teams.

I agree. I was very close to the action and there wasnt any contact between howard and bryant. Howard stepped in front of brackett and poined at bryant

Why is your name mcm_indians but you post with a Hardin-Simmons e-mail address?

At the game last night, I thought the crowd was loud and annoying, the band was loud and annoying, the announcer was annoying. I was just trying to sit and watch a nice friendly game of basketball. Heck the cheerleaders were even trying to compete for attention. Then the coaches got into it. From where I was sitting, Coach Howard came out on the floor way out on the floor. He should have been T'd up at that point. The officials got him back to his bench and then Coach Holmes came over to the bench, I think he was trying to get both of them a T. Probably a smart move. People wouldn't sit down, like I said they were annoying, so I couldn't see real well but I didn't see anyone touch or chest butt each other, it sure was exciting though. Don't you just LOVE this game and this rivalry? (I like it better when we win)

BORING...

(It's over!)

minni · February 01, 2006, 12:30:40 PM

well the give us something else to talk about dsc!!!

it was some good action and it was something good to talk about till the next game. you are right it is over for now. I thought i had read or heard the NCAA was looking at the tape to review what happened. Not sure how much truth there is to that. But it is over for now. but it sure is fun to talk and argue about.

Why don't we talk about how superior MC is to the rest of the ASC?

Do any of you guys get upset that a team from Mississippi dominates a league comprised of of mostly Texas teams?

I would like to hear responses as to how you think the ASC will play out this year.

Ralph Turner · February 01, 2006, 06:35:16 PM

I really want 2 bids from the ASC this year...one going to a western bracket and probably MC going to the Great Lakes area. The biggest thing that we need is a continual presence in the Elite 8, with occasional trips to the Final 4.

MC is very good this year. I think that they are a Top 10 team. If they can have some luck in the Tourney, then the conference benefits.

I think that the best chance for 2 bids is someone upseting MC in the Tourney and then MC getting a Pool C bid. Since it would be a plane flight for MC to come this way for the NCAA's, they might be flown east and the Pool A winner (my hope McMurry, my best guess in this scenario is HPU) be sent west.

mcm_indians · February 01, 2006, 09:00:49 PM

I have seen the game film and there is no evidence of the hard foul by bryant or anything with coach howard. Everybody was standing and you couldnt see. Even if they wanted to review it they wouldnt be able to see anything.

t_money · February 01, 2006, 09:08:34 PM

Ralph,

I agree with you. The ASC really does need 2 teams to get in the tourney on a yearly basis.

I do believe there is a strong chance that MC could be beaten in the conference tournament. While I hope that doen't happen it would benefit the conference by giving us another team in the tourney.

I played for MC from 97-01 and I am not sure any of the teams we had are as good as this MC team.
