Yesterday, UMHB defeated UT-Concordia 94-73, which was a good defensive performance for the Crusaders i think, considering the Tornadoes from Austin have only been held under 90 points 3 times this year, and have scored over 100 points 4 times this year already, and 121 against Mississippi College earlier this year. They are 4th in the nation as a team in scoring.


      But what i was really impressed with tonight was the play of WR/Power Forward Damian Davis!!! Apparently he is not only a Division 1 caliber football player, but basketball aswell, he played only 13 minutes,(less than anyone else on the team), scored 14, had 2 slam dunks, and was 2 for 2 from 3 point land. The No.8 in the nation crusaders may REALLY have something going now. WATCH OUT!!

You forget that CTX has only scored that much because they play at an insane pace. Well, in ASC terms, anyway. In the NBA they'd be about average. They're really rather average-ish offensively. Defensively too. We're not that great this year.

Going now? They've had something going since conference play started, at the least. The bigger question is why HSU isn't ranked yet despite outplaying the Cru in conference play (going into the weekend). I wish I could make at least one of the HSU/UMHB games this year as they both should be really good games. That was a good line from Davis though, even if it might have been due in part to playing the relatively porous CTX defense.

There is a video of the Davis dunking over a Concordia defender on cruathletics.com One of the more impressive dunks ive ever seen, if you look at the second view, Davis's foot is about a a foot and a half in front of the free throw line, and he still dunks OVER a defender. I knew he was athletic,(after watching him dominate in football for the cru this year), but i was very suprised to see him play THIS well in basketball. Hopefully it continues. He may be whats needed to push this team to the next level,(PAST THE SWEET SIXTEEN).

   But yes, referring to the HSU game, they really have me worried. Matt Addison is dangerous from everywhere, and they are beating teams worse than anyone else in the conference. But Marlon Miller is also dangerous from all over. So i guess we will see.

I believe that the national voters who attended the D3hoops.com Classic in Las Vegas were able to get a good opinion of HSU in their games there, especially the loss to Gustavus Adolphus.

IMHO, the Las Vegas D3hoops.com Classic will become THE Holiday Tournament for D3.

It will showcase your team to the D3world as to whether your team is at the "next level", whatever that is.

Halfway through the conference slate, only Texas-Dallas, Hardin-Simmons, and Mary Hardin-Baylor look to be in real contention for the autobid. Though, of course, anything can happen on the court.

1. Mary Hardin-Baylor (11-0) - 1.09/0.90/+0.19/74.5
2. Hardin-Simmons (9-1) - 1.12/0.93/+0.19/73.5
3. McMurry (6-4) - 1.09/1.00/+0.09/75.2
4. Texas Lutheran (5-6) - 0.98/0.97/+0.01/73.7
5. Concordia-Texas (6-5) - 1.03/1.02/+0.00/91.6
6. Schreiner (7-4) - 1.00/1.00/+0.00/75.6
7. Sul Ross State (5-6) - 0.91/0.93/-0.02/67.5
8. Howard Payne (5-6) - 0.99/1.03/-0.04/74.8

ASC East
# Team (W-L) - Off/Def/Net/Pace
1. Texas-Dallas (8-4) - 1.09/0.97/+0.12/67.1
2. East Texas Baptist (6-4) - 1.03/1.01/+0.02/78.4
3. Louisiana College (4-6) - 1.00/1.08/-0.08/76.0
4. Mississippi College (2-8) - 1.00/1.08/-0.08/75.7
5. Texas-Tyler (4-8) - 0.95/1.04/-0.09/70.1

7. LeTourneau (2-10) - 0.86/1.04/-0.18/72.7

Centenary would be fifth at -0.08 if they were eligible.

McMurry has been a real Dr Jekyll-Mr Hyde this year. To erase an 11-point lead in the last 67 secs at HPU is one thing.  To put themselves in that position is another.

To stink up the first 27 minutes (down by 21) against HSU is one thing. To come back (lose by 3) is another!

To lose in Mississippi to a 2-8 Choctaw team is one thing.  Various spurts of brilliance in the season is another.

Game-to-game variance is something I've been thinking of looking into lately, but it will probably have to wait for after the season since I will have to redesign part of my spreadsheet to do it.

Reporter News this morning said Coaches decision.  This will be interesting to watch as the season progresses.

I just want to point out that when I run my numbers for that game, there's no "Addison didn't play" factor. :P

And yes, McMurry beat the ever-living tar out of Concordia last night. In both games.
