MBB: American Southwest Conference

[CUAfan]

On another note, it would be great if it were possible to hold an ASC All-Star game with the first and second teams from the East and West playing each other, led by the respective Coaches of the Year. Held after the NCAA tourney, of course. Logistics would prevent it, most likely, unless some business sponsored the thing and paid for travel expenses. It would have to be held in a central location too.

Maybe someday...

Final

the chocs have won 31 conference games in a row.  second longest streak. i believe they said wheaton (il) had 61 in a row.   this is a repeat post but i thought it was worthy enough to put it in both threads.

I think this is a GREAT idea!  I'd go with the 12 best players on both sides, play a 7 game series, with the Division with the conference champ having home court advantage.  I'll have my line-ups later today!

My first post of the season.  I've been looking at the records on the south region site and it shows McM with a record of 5-5 and a loss to the Ozarks.  It should be a record of 6-4 and a win against the Ozarks.  Pat, just thought you might want to know.

looks like the mc-lc game was a defensive battle.  glad to see mc is back to playing defense the way they used too.  I think ralph said it earlier, looks like a coach jones team.

Does anyone think that MC will be beaten the rest of the regular season?  I would like to say that LeTourneau could give them a run, but I don't think we are there yet.  Of course right now, team's are probably thinking that if they only get one win against MC, save it for the tournament.

I saw MC play HPU in Brownwood a couple of weeks ago.  I know they were on a LONG  road trip, but HPU hung with them pretty well most of the game.  While I think HPU is better than we were showing earlier(but 2 wins in a row now!),  I think MC is certainly beatable.  They were very good , but not breathtakingly so as I would expect a top 10 team to be. I think someone will beat them even before the tournament, but I have been proven wrong before.

The streak of 31 conference wins including last year's ASC tourney would actually rank as the 6th longest such streak in DIII history. Wheaton won 61 in a row in the 1950's and that stands as the longest. The information was gathered by SID Brian Rose of Bethany College but it is not official from the NCAA so their could be a few other streaks in there.

I saw MC play HPU in Brownwood a couple of weeks ago.  I know they were on a LONG  road trip, but HPU hung with them pretty well most of the game.  While I think HPU is better than we were showing earlier(but 2 wins in a row now!),  I think MC is certainly beatable.  They were very good , but not breathtakingly so as I would expect a top 10 team to be. I think someone will beat them even before the tournament, but I have been proven wrong before.

The team had been on the road for ten days and playing in Brownwood is not easy. It was not MC's best game but HPU had some good players and will beat several teams down the stretch. I don't think there is a team in DIII that is not beatable and MC certainly can be beat if they don't show up to play. Last night they led LC 23-17 after a so-so first half, then shot 78 percent in the second half to win by 20.

But it is hard to go through the league without a loss. Even last year's team could not do it. Until the second half of last night, they had not been crisp on offense in the last few games but winning with defense. In their last five games they are allowing just 49 points per game.
