This is way off the subject of basketball, but could someone from LC tell me how the Givens' (father or grandfather) is?  He had an episode at the game on Saturday, and we were just wondering if he is all right, it reminds me that its just a game.  We have been thinking of their family.  Yes, I'm still here and keeping up, and keeping quiet.  It's very difficult for me, (to be quiet), but I still attend games, and have brought my granddaughter.  She loves basketball by the way, better watch out, she'll be dribbling before you know it.

Wow what a game LIB. So very proud of you. Came up just a little short, but wow.

I'm here, I really haven't gone away and I still keep up....I just have not physically been to a game yet, so I can't voice my opinion because  I haven't actually seen it with my own eyes! I have listened to some games on the radio, but right now high school b-ball is taking up most of my days.  Wow the east is kicking some butt and taking names.  What goes around, comes around.  They obviously are hungry, and maybe we have gotten a little complacent.  Makes for some great conference play.  I hope to get to games after the first of the year, and see WHAT is going on. Till then "Merry Christmas" to everyone.

I have a meeting in Dallas tomorrow and Saturday, and will miss my first tournament in 9 years.  Dang it. But I hope to be back in time on Sunday and hope to see my LIB in the championship game, with I don't care who. So don't worry about me and the TP. I will try to catch as many games on the web as I can, but it's killing me not to be able to be there and watch all the great basketball that is going to be played.  I believe my team will win, and I want them to, but I think this will be some of the toughest and greatest games to be played in a conference tourney in quite some time.  Only the strong will survive, and hopefully will be able to move on and show what the ASC is made of.  If we don't beat each other up too bad. Good Luck LIB, see you on the radio!!!!!!

Missed my first HPU game in Bwood playing my team in nine years. Hated to, but I've had the crud and would hate to infect all my favorite fans...yeah right. Heard part of it on the radio, sounded like a really good game. Would have loved to have been there. Its hard to go to every game when your "connection" isn't there, but I still follow the teams closely.  Love the girls, love the game. LIB MUST win these next two games, they can't have any let down. TLU has been playing some very close games, they could slip up and beat anyone.  And we never play well at Schriener, we manage to pull wins out, but the first half is generally pretty close.  Work hard ladies, this is when it counts.......

LIB must play good defense tomorrow. HPU is always tough at home, and we must get better at this point of the year. Even though there is a two game lead, we cannot be comfortable in our position.  It helps to be playing well going into the tourney no matter where it is played. The East is coming, we must be ready, but we have to play well at Bwood first. I can't make predictions, but still believing....

That's what we get for beating each other up.  It will be tough considering the losses to break into the top 25. But polls don't mean anything, so they tell me.....

I was at the game, and it is always sweet when you win the crosstown rivalary. I thought the really big difference in the game was the bench play of LIB. They were very strong, and MANY played a lot of minutes and did really well defensively and offensively. HSU players had to play lots of minutes and I think the defense really wore them down this game. I really think the big factor in the game was the swimming team, coming in from practice in their speedos, chanting LIB!!!!! It was great, I'm still rubbing my eyes...............

Looks like all ball to me......

You too Ralph. Nice to be able to visit and discuss some basketball with you. I was very impressed with our defense today, especially in the first half.  When was the last time HPU was held to 19 points in the first half?  Hopefully we will continue to improve.  HPU is down but oh so far from out of the mix.  It would really be nice to host the tourney this year, but we will have to knock off HSU on Feb. 2nd.  Lots of ball still left to play.  Go LIB...........

Sometimes, I hate it when I am right, and my predictions about 2-3 losses may be true at least in the West.  I have not seen every game, but have seen the biggest portion of the in town games, but still believe in the LIB.  Where is everybody on this board?? All the old stand bys have seemed to gone quiet.........except of course for Ralph.  Where oh where is dballa, jacket84, calhsu, everybody gets quiet when they aren't kicking a##### and taking names.  Even me....

There were a lot of McM fans there last night I was impressed because I thought they way outnumbered the HSU fans.  I guess I sounded pretty ornery, but I thought both teams were flat.  It just wasn't the electric atmosphere that you get with the students all there.  I wasn't there during the first half, so it's kinda hard for me to really get a take on it.

Oh and another of my two cents....I hate this schedule, where there is limited practice because of finals, most of the students have gone home, and we play one of the biggest rivals on a Monday night with no games the week before. Then at the end of the schedule you do the turn around thing and play the other big rival right before tournament time twice. There should be a better way. And polls still suck. And now that I got that off my chest.....Merry Christmas, be safe.

Frustrating night for McM. We are a much better team than what we did tonight.  I missed the first half in person, but listened to it on the radio. Saw most of the second half.....HSU had their backs against the wall and had to win. They played with much more intensity, especially in the second half.  We didn't have an answer for Bo Warm.  I was disappointed, but I know this is going to be a different kind of year.

This board is extremely quiet these days. After watching and listening to the LIB games, this could be an interesting year. The east is stronger than it has been in a couple of years. LA, Miss College, UTT and UTD are really gonna be tough.  LIB has 3 down 1 to go for now on the east side.  The teams in the west are still tough and Monday HSU and MCM will go at it.  HPU is vulnerable I am sure they are looking for complete chemistry with a new coach and graduating their core group last year but they will still be tough, especially at home.  Any team getting to the tourney I bet will have at least 2 or 3 losses.  Last Saturday against UTT we missed our starting post and Callie Williams was ill and did not play, (but we still won) so hopefully they have recovered and will be ready for Monday.  I would love to go through the west and east undefeated just don't know that it will happen. But you know I believe..
