UT-Dallas over ETBU, can't remember score. Cedric Isom seems to have ended his slump, hitting 21 and 30 in the week's games.

ETBU faces near must win game Thursday in Pineville, because they go to Mississippi and host Ozarks after that.

Big weekend for HPU both men and women. They both head to Abilene where the men haven't won @ McMurry in a few years. Hopefully the momentum of the big wins agaisnt UMHB will carry over and we can continue the win streak and close out the regular season title. I am sure McMurry and Hardin-Simmons will both be waiting and hoping for a win so they don't have to travel back to Brownwood to everybody's favorite Coliseum. Sting 'em!

Can UMHB even make the tourney? They are on a downslide that they may not recover from! Way to go HPU! Book your rooms for Brownwood.

Howard Payne received a vote this week in the top 25 poll, not bad for a team without a key contributor.

HSU & UMHB are tied for the 3rd & 4th slots in the tourney. They have a 3 game advantage in the win column and 2 in the loss column over SRSU. A combination of 1 win by HSU & UMHB and 1 loss by SRSU puts HSU & UMHB in the tourney. HSU & UMHB have 4 games left, SRSU has 5. HSU & SRSU play tomorrow, that game could determine the fate of SRSU.

If HPU wins both games in Abilene Thursday and Saturday then it's set for Brownwood. Outside of that 1 win on the road and 2 wins at home the next weekend sets it in Brownwood without having any help from other teams.

Thats great that MC is #1 in the region. I just hope they dont do the Chocs like they did them last year. They had to travel to Tennessee and Michigan even though they were #1 seed. I just hope they play at home at least once or twice for the national tournament. GO CHOCS!

Ralph Turner · February 09, 2006, 12:44:21 AM

MC boy, actually Miss College was not the #1 Seed in the South Region. They were the #1 seed in the ASC tourney.

The Chocs had to travel to Maryville, which was higher seeded for their second round game. IMHO, the first round bye was an accommodation to transportation, so the NCAA would not have to buy a plane ticket...

Methodist got bussed to Maryville and lost.

Maryville hosted Mississippi College, who got the bye.

If Mississippi College had been the higher seeded team, then Maryville would have been bussed to Clinton.

As a result, the NCAA did not have to fly Methodist to Clinton. It worked out. Had Methodist defeated Maryville, then they would have come to Clinton for the second round game.

Actually Mr. Turner. All 3 players who are no longer with the team are still in school and in good academic standing. As far as I know, 2 of the 3 are on track to graduate this summer at the latest. Its been a tougher year down there than anticipated after early success, but we'll see what happens.

bcal · February 09, 2006, 02:05:24 PM

McMhasbeen, Your post is good news indeed! It would be a shame if these three young men had both left the team and dropped out of school. Your statement that 2 of 3 are in school and on line to graduate by this summer is the reason they should be attending McMurry University in the first place. Thanks for this information.

BIG weekend of games starting with HPU tonight. Important series for HPU as they need to win both games in Abilene. HSU and McM know they need wins for their own purposes. All these teams need to bring their "A" games for all these contests. And then there is SRSU who may be overlooked and quite capable of playing the role of spoiler aganist either of McM or HSU. Sully could be tough to handle if your are looking ahead or behind.
