MBB: American Southwest Conference

[Walter17]

Does anyone know what happened to UMHB at Southwestern?

They got beat.

They got beat.

Obviously I think he knows that!!! The score was posted on the post before. I think he wants to know how they got beat. lol

A Sophomore came off the bench for Southwestern and was 7-11 from 3, that always helps! Cant find the box score.

oh, sorry, i thought he was not sure of the outcome or not, wasn't trying to be a jerk.

Apparently the LETU - Ouachita stats are incorrect.  Coach Davis had to asks the scores table more than a dozen times to put points on the board for LETU.  Still - Ouachita won the game - but not sure what the final score was.  To give you an idea how bad it is, Smith was credited with 27 minutes and 10 points on 4 for 11 when in fact he was only able to play 5 minutes, took 1 shot and didn't score.  Rockmore should've been credited with at least 20 points.

Not trying to take anything away from Ouachita because they are the real deal - just wanted to throw my two cents in.  LETU hosts SAU this weekend at home!

haha, thanks #1ascfanman.  I just wondered what happened because that seems to be a huge game for Southwestern (who failed to make the SCAC tournament last season).  From what I've heard, it was just an ugly game.

I was looking at the play by play before you posted this an I noticed that Smith had like 3 minutes in the first half but in the box score it said he had like 12. Also it said Van Wright subs out an then like 2 possesions later he makes a shot. So it does seem that the stats are a little off.

Anyone know why Smith only played 5 minutes? And him an the highly talented D1 transfer that everyone was talking about both came off the bench?

To anyone who is interested, the Millsaps at Louisiana College game is scheduled to be webcast by Millsaps with the tipoff at 7:00 Central time.  The link to that is:

LC was picked 6th of 7 in the ASC-East.

Good win for LC and for the conference.  One must defeat in-region foes.

LC 65-57 over Millsaps.

I watched the TU v. Schreiner game last night and though TU was never in jeopardy of losing the game, Schreiner showed some potential in spurts.  They consist of nothing but freshmen and sophomores and look pretty athletic.  As soon as D2 transfer Ralph Turner gets his legs under him (hasn't played organized ball in a year or so apparently), they could actually be a legitimate threat.  They definitely have the size and athletes to compete one day, but it's a matter or getting on the same page for that team.

I heard that Vanwright asked coach Davis to let him come off the bench.  Not sure about Smith though.

The Choctaws picked up an 89-72 win over Rust College out of Holly Springs, MS in the Lon Varnell Classic in Sewanee, TN.  Twelve different players scored in the game with 13 players in the regular rotation.  Bryan Johnson led the way with 18 points on 8-10 shooting.  MC outrebounded the outsized Bearcats, 52-35, and shot 50% from the floor.  Rust is a very athletic team that really gets up and down the court.  The Choctaws' transition defense was impressive as well as the execution on offense so early in the season.  MC plays Sewanee on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. in the finale of the tournament.  Rust defeated Sewanee on Friday night, 77-66.

etbu beats udallas by 10 or so...tigers were up by double digits most of the game.

I'll do game updates on the other link for tonight's matchup between SAU and LETU.

LETU - 72
SAU - 66
Final
Jackets get a big win tonight against Southern Arkansas.  While the typical players did their thing tonight, Will Smith needs to get the most credit for his defensive play down low against SAU's bigs.  Jackets hit their free throws down the stretch to seal the victory.
