To be more specific...

McDonald was 13-of-21 from the floor, 8-of-11 from beyond the arc, and 9-of-9 from the free throw line. It's entirely likely that he could break into the top 10 all-time in scoring this season (barring injury).

Oh, and it gave CUA the only two 40-point games of the year in the ASC (the other was Maxwell's 41 against UT-Tyler).

Is that all-time at CUA?

[gccfan]

I think the stars are aligned this year to see the first 50 point game in awhile whether it is McDonald or Maxwell at CUA, Salinas at UTD or Isom at ETBU where he is a one man show.  Who do you all think has the potential to reach the half century barrier?

[gccfan]

I just want to see who everyone thinks has the best chance to score 50 points in a game this year in the ASC

[CUAfan]

kid: All-time at CUA. My apologies for being unclear. Still, doing that as a sophomore (he's gotta break 900 points) is nothing to laugh at.

gccfan: I don't know enough about UTD or ETBU to really say anything about Salinas or Isom, but McDonald or Maxwell have a good shot. Given the system they play in, I don't think its unreasonable to assume that given a hot hand and a weak enough opponent that one of them could do it.

[CUAfan]

McDonald's a good enough shooter to pull it off. Maxwell's a good scorer, but I think he's easier to stop than McDonald.

I haven't seen Salinas or Isom play, but I don't think their systems lend themselves as much to a 50-point game.

[kid nice]

Yes, anytime you break a record as a sophomore it is impressive. But if the record is only 900 pts has CUA not had a basketball program for that long. Almost always someone has scored over a 1000pts.

CUAfan......sometimes it doesnt necessarily have to be the system you play in to get you a 50 point game versus the style of play your going up against.  A few years back McMurry gave up back to back 52 point games to Moore from UMHB and KB Deborg from CUA and both of them still lost.  I dont know that anyone plays that type of style in the conference anymore so i think it might be hard for someone to put up 50, but anything is possible.

GO COWBOYS!

Ralph or anyone else, would you happen to know how the McM/Ozarks cancellation worked out. Did the ozarks have to reimburse(sp?) McM, does it lead to a cancellation or a forfiet and a win for McM? Just a couple of questions that i had, reminds me alot of the the HSU/LC ftbl game that got cancelled, and messed around with the playoff situation

[Ralph Turner]

Everyone is aware of the situation that not playing a game has on the conference playoffs, because HSU now has a "half-game" lead on McMurry by virtue of the cancelation.

The trip cost about $6000.  On reviewing the posted sites, everything that I can surmise is that McMurry did it right, with respect to notifications to the conference office, U Ozarks, etc.

I saw that Ozarks had the game scheduled on its site and the conference had the McMurry/UOzarks game scheduled correctly on it web page.

I think that someone in the Conference office or in the office  of the guy who handles the assignments for officials for the ASC dropped the ball.

If Ozarks dropped the ball, then the AD's and Coaches can settle that one.

If the conference dropped the ball, then I believe that the conference office should compensate McMurry for its loss.  This is not a situation that we see commonly, like a weather-related cancelation.  That (weather) situation is beyond the control of the schools, and actually is in the hands of the officials by that point, e.g., lightning or hurricanes for football or baseball game rain outs!!!  This is completely unique.  Adding "sporting event rainout insurance" premiums to the cost of running the conference would be prohibitive.

If it was officials' assignment office that just did not send a referee team to the game, then they should be made to pay for the expenses.  They have the lucrative contract. 

There are sufficiently automated computer documentation and notification systems handling everything from motel reservations to your DVD rentals, you know confirmatory emails, confirmation numbers, and other pre-set transactions, that I would be interested in seeing the papertrail that shows who did not do what!

Moore was a good one, he was one of the few who would torch us.  UT-Dallas had a  guy who would always light us up, cant remember his name though.
