MBB: American Southwest Conference

[mcmfanatic]

From the perspective of a  father of a college athlete:  I understand very well the drive required for all of those involved in the game.  Player on player altercations will happen, coach to coach shouting matches  may happen, it's just part of the game, and we move on.  However a coach reverting to name calling of opposing players is beyond the pale and requires discipline from the school.  Failure to do so is support for the coahes' actions.

I just want to put this to rest.  It was unfortunate that these two schools have had to put up with this.  Both teams regret that it has happened and we all need to move on. I do have to say though that I was on the court when it happened and the majority of the things people are saying on this site and on the reporter news site are false.  I wish that everyone would just put it behind us and if you do post, please don't start any rumors or just write stuff on heresay.  . .This has blown way out of proportion.

I just wanted to respond to tball275... I am sure that if you wanted to get any of the ASC head coaches on the air that they would be more than happy to accomodate.

Final CTX 92, SRSU 82.

Mississippi College won their 6th in a row tonight with an 86-56 win over Ozarks. This win followed an 84-41 win over Louisiana College on Tuesday night. We are obviously playing much better, particularly defensively allowing just 54 points in the six game win streak and allowing opponents to shoot just 40 percent.

ETBU 61  UTT 56

ETBU held UTT scoreless for the last 5 minutes of the game.

I Hate To Be Bringing Up The Topic Again, But Here Is A Letter To The Editor Of The Abilene Reporter News About Howard's Actions.

I Wasn't Personally At The Game, But I Heard It Was Very Embarassing For Everyone.

I was also done with the subject. I know the player for McM did not get to play on Thursday, but I don't think the HSU coach was reprimanded by the conference.  It just kind of speaks of how we have become tolerable of bad behavior as a society as a whole.  Having coaches and an official from my family I see fans, coaches, and players without respect or discipline. Sometimes we make excuses (the heat of battle, emotions, having a bad day, whatever) but we shouldn't.  Yelling at official calls, coaches getting on to players and officials, fan craziness, and rivalry is part of the game.  But physical aggression, vulgar language, personal attacks by words or actions, should not be tolerated under any circumstances, win or lose towards anybody.  I am done, going back to women's bball where I belong............

I had a personal issue come up and I have not been on this weekend so I did not get My picks for Thursday:

Dallas at LeT-LeT-Correct
McMurry at Schreiner-McM-Correct
Ozarks at MC-MC-Correct
HSU at TLU-HSU-Correct
SRSU at CUA-CUA-Correct
HPU at UMHB-UMHB-Correct
Tyler at ETBU-Tyler-Incorrect

Only missed one takes me back up to 28-20!

My Wildcats must have the worst luck, another loss at the buzzer or near the buzzer at the end of the game.  Hang in there guys, big road trip this weekend to LeT it rain and ETBwho!!!!!

[gccfan]

Does anybody have any idea how the East Division is going to play out.  Things are crazy.  Watching UT-Tyler come back from 21 down at the half against LETU was one of the most disheartening things I have ever watched.  I am really interested to see how the Jackets respond.
