Well tonight the Chocs lost to a good Wesley College team who they beat last year by 30 points.  Although the Chocs played well they just missed too many free throws and had too many turnovers.  It also didnt help that Winford was in foul trouble early and fouled out with only two points.  The Chocs will learn alot from this game and hopefully correct some things and come back with a new attitude.  I also think that the fact that Wesley had already played 9 games was to their advantage a little. 84-82 Welsley College.  Chocs still rule!!!

Wow!!!  Wesley College MS (NCCAA-2) beat Miss College? 

Yes, they had played 9 games, but NCCAA-2's don't usually beat D3 Top 25's.

Wesley MS plays Millsaps and Rhodes this weekend, so we get a better handle on them!

Ralph,
   New to the whole d3hoops world, but been in the Choctaw world for a while.  I have read alot of your posts( not all 10000, dude push away from the computer desk) and you seem to get a little giddy when MC loses. But before you throw out a WOW!! MC got beat by Weasley College, you really need to see them play.  That had to be one of the most athletic teams I have seen in a while.  Be glad ya'll don't play them, cause ya'll could very well have 2 L's.

[Ralph Turner]

Balls, thanks for the post!  Please keep feeding us Miss College info.

That became apparent after I tried finding out about Wesley's results this year.

Wesley got some players, didn't they!

The "wow" is that Miss college hasn't lost in November since   I cannot remember! 

Coach Jones doesn't lose early games!

Thanks for the post and keep the info coming on the Choctaws.  At least it is not a D3 game, but it knocks you down in the Top 25.  That pressure is off now!

Well its a good thing that these top 25 rankings here dont matter anything at all(These have nothing to do with the ncaa, they are just some coaches and pat colemans view). What makes the difference is the regional rankings when they come out.(This game will not count as a lost to mc reg. rank). So dont be ordering you any cigars just yet Ralph.

Hoopstar, I am not.  If you look over on the Survivior Pool, I was hoping that McMurry would give you the first loss.     (I know that you won't take it personally, of course.  Just business.  I know that Mike Jones and Ron Holmes are very good friends.)

I cannot think of a more dramatic motivation than that loss to Wesley.  Coach Jones will have MC on another level by the time y'all get to Abilene.

Hi!  Wesley College fan here.

We enjoyed the game at MC...other than an older man screaming at us to sit down in the final 30 seconds of the game and in overtime...which prompted others to yell "These are reserved seats did you pay for them" - even though it was announced prior to the game that all seating for the game was general admission.  I have never heard anyone yell to sit down during the later stages of a close ball game. 

Wesley is a bit of an unusual beast this season.  We are the smallest college in the NCCAA's, but we have beaten Belhaven, Tougaloo, Pensacola Christian, and now MC.  Being a Bible college, we do not have the diversity of degrees to lure a lot of players, so beating NAIA D1 and NCAA teams is huge for us.  MC had far more students at the game than we have students.

We have played Belhaven twice, winning at their house by double digits and losing by 20 at home.  I think we were the better team, but we were cold and when they went on a run against us we did not respond.  They also got hot from behind the arc.  When MC went on a run against us to push it to 13, there was a (media?) timeout that killed the momentum or we probably would have lost.

This weekend starts a brutal 5 day stretch for our team.  We play Millsaps and Rhodes in Memphis on Friday and Saturday, then drive to Mobile to play Springhill and University of Mobile on Monday and Tuesday.

We play Millsaps at home in January, but the really big test comes over the Christmas break when we play NCAA D1 Louisiana-Monroe.  We can only hope they overlook us.

Anyway, thanks for allowing me to post on your board.  It was the most exciting basketball game that I have ever watched in person. 


Good Luck Choctaws and God Bless!

Welcome John.  I can remember when your college (or rather part of it) was occupying the old Trinity University campus on top of the tallest point between Houston and Dallas, in Tehuacana, TX about 35 miles northeast of Waco in the late 1960's.

You have assembled quite a group of athletes. 

Post anytime you feel and we will appreciate any links to stats or game reports.  Good luck against the SCAC schools.

ETBU fell to 0-3 last night losing by 5 to LSU-Shreveport. 

Chris Isom had 29 and 13rbs I believe.

LSUS is a NAIA top 10 team

Wesley played a good game and was helped a little be the refs when Winford got fouls called on him. In d3 games it gets physical down in the paint but he was the only one that got called out. His fifth foul came when he wasn't even within reach of the shooter but was called for pushin him from behind. In three years that was the first game that I have seen the chocs lose but Coach Jones will definitely have them ready to go tomorrow they have practiced all weak and even a three hour one on thanksgiving day. Coach Jones will not let them lose again.

Chocsrock, you don't know how funny that last post reads.

Mississippi College getting hosed by the officials in the Gold Dome?  Signs of the end times!!!

[chocsrock34]

Yea, it does sound odd but he was singled out that game. The reasons i don't know but he wasn't in long enough to get five fouls with his playing.
