I'm still trying to figure that one out... maybe the stunner of the year!

LeTourneau looked much better today than Thursday, great ball movement was the main reason for their outstanding 3 point shooting.  They received great production from their bench as well (39 points).  This is the first time since 2002-03 that they have won both games in an ASC travel weekend.

MC fans, did the Chocs take the bus the entire trip to SRSU or did they fly for a portion?

Ralph,
   The guys flew in from California and continued a road trip that started December 28 before the Tom Byron Classic. They took the bus the rest of the way and got home this morning.

[Ralph Turner]

Oh yeah!  They made some noise in California, didn't they!

That was a long one!  I hope the team had fun!  That is a trip to remember!

McMurry looked good on Saturday afternoon, MC-SID.  I would love to catch a "D3 undefeated Miss College" in the Gold Dome in the conference tourney finals and beat you!  The Chocs would get a Pool C bid, maybe even host the first round, while they could fly us anywhere else they wanted to, outside MC's bracket.  I think that Trinity and Southwestern may be down this year.

We can dream...

Travel safely.

MC-SID, I really enjoyed the radio links for the Tom Byron!  It was fun listening.  Putting the big one JHU was very nice.  It was also exciting listening to the Chocs win the Westmont game.  Thanks.

Did the players get to see the "Wardrobe" at Westmont?

Thanks, I was happy just to go and see the games. Very impressive how they beat JHU and I'm telling you the win over Westmont was even more impressive, they were a very good team and had the best center I have seen us play in five or six years.
Thanks for your posts on the ASC and MC in particular. Hopefully we catch a few breaks this season and make a run in the tournament. But we are proud of the back to back Sweet Sixteen appearances. I believe we are one of only four teams to boast of that. It is an accomplishment just to get in the tournament in Division III.
I saw your mention of Tim Broomfield on the Top 25 board. Great guy and great player. There are not many 6'8" guards anywhere that athletic and fewer shooting 62 percent from the three point line (21-34). But several players are playing well. D. J. Jones, a 6'3" guard, is the leading scorer and was last year's East Division Defensive Player of the Year. With those two, Tyler Winford, Marcus Evans and Jonathan Collins the starting lineup is probably as good as we have ever had and there are several talented players coming off the bench.

I hope we keep winning but its hard to run through this league with no losses, its too good. I have been in the MC athletics department since 2000 so I was able to see the McMurry/MC rivalry at its best. The McMurry team with Alex Denson, Travis Hull and Kim Maina was fun to watch. Maybe we will get to see another one this season but we have to beat UTD first. I know they took some heat this week with the two losses, but they can beat just about anybody when they are shooting well.
Good luck the rest of the season.

UTD now knows what it is like to be the hunted, and not the hunter.  You better bring your A+ game every night because everyone you play is looking to beat you when you're in the Top 25.

A big game for LeTourneau tonight against ETBU.  I win for the Jackets would make it very tough for the Tigers to pass them in the standings.  As a side note, with two more wins, it would be the first time since the 1996-97 season that they have had at least 10 wins in a season.  Bob Davis has been doing an outstanding job in Longview.

I was just looking at some notes for the LETU-ETBU game tonight and found something very interesting.  ETBU is making just 58.4% of their free throws and LETU is making a scintillating 60.4%.  Has anyone seen two teams playing each other with a worse combined percentage?

McMurry plays Ozarks in the make-up game at 5:30 pm at UTD next Tuesday.

Is this game still on?  I find nothing official to confirm and something that says it has been cancelled.

I want to go see it if it is being played.

[Ralph Turner]

It's on at UTD!  I hope to see you there.
