MBB: American Southwest Conference

To anyone at the game, what kind of injury was Maxwell's?

[warped]

Valentino Maxwell of CUA broke his foot in the Letourneau game and will miss the rest of this season...tough loss for CUA...hopefully he can get a red shirt year from this...does anyone know how that works??

[CUAfan]

Oh man...that bites. He's only six points short of 1000 for his career. Thanks for the info.

I doubt he can get a redshirt, he's played too many games this year.

HSU game report in the Abilene Reporter-News

Salient quote--

''We had a good scouting report,'' Howard said. ''We knew they could shoot the ball. They are a good team. They run their sets perfectly. Those are the teams we have problems with.''

This was a "dinged-up" HSU squad, so we must look at the loss as another benefit if the in-region records play a factor in the NCAA post-season.

Pickelman still has the bad wrist (FG 2-14, but FT 12-16 for his 16 points).  That is the same bad wrist that sank the last-second FG against McMurry.

HSU did not have Dinkins and Peters for the perimeter defense, either.

The Chocs beat Schreiner 83-69.  Marcus Evans led all players with 15 points.  The Chocs are really playing well right now and I hope they can keep it up.  I cant wait until they go to Cali because this will be a chance to gain a little more respect with 2 wins.  GO CHOCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maxwell broke his foot?  From the look of things, it didn't look like that bad of an injury.  You could tell he was in obvious pain, but nothing more than a sprained ankle.  Tough blow for CUA.  I just can't figure out why CUA's record is 2-8, they may be the most athletic team I've seen so far this year, you'd think that would help them out in some games.  They have a couple of guys who can absolutley jump out of the gym, and their big man seem to be very physical in the low post.

If we are talking about shooters now, i would go with Pickelman as well.  He has been knocking the 3 down since his freshman yr.  If we go to the past you have to mention Brad Waters from HSU and Alex Denson from McM.  Those are some of the best shooters I have seen and played against in this conference.

Going away from the top shooter talk... Anybody think that UTD will start getting some top 25 recognition?  At 9-0 they should at least start to receive some votes I would think.  I haven't seen them play yet, but it appears that Eppink must be pretty solid averaging close to 8 rebounds and shooting around 75 percent from the field.  Thoughts from anyone?

[Bearkat00]

Brent Johnson (I think that was his name) from Ozarks.  He seemed to hit big shots when needed!  And he prefered NBA range three's.
