It'll be interesting to see who gets to the Texas pod. UMHB or St. Thomas TX. Could be a huge difference who advances and who goes home in the NCAAs.

Yep...currently thinking about this...UMHB's win percentage will probably be lower than UST's. But UMHB's SOS and RROs will be greater if the Cru win the ASC championship considering they'll get either UTD or ETBU probably in the conference title game. Would that be enough to push the committee to give UMHB the host? The way this committee values SOS and RROs, it's a possibility. SCAC Tournament won't help UST's RROs or SOS

Story from Abilene. UMHB prevailed in a wild contest at Hardin-Simmons. Said UMHB HC Clif Carroll: "There was a lot of adversity today, a lot of chances to fold our tent and go home. But we didn't."

Not much to say on this one tonight except that it was such a disappointing way for UMHB to go out of the ASC Tournament, losing at home. Crowd only got into it for a few minutes, so they didn't help any. And overall, HSU was just tougher. Here's my game story from Belton:

ETBU upset HSU tonight but after St Thomas lost to Schreiner in the SCAC semis we will see the the opening round of the NCAAs in Abilene.

It'll be:

1. HSU vs 4. SCAC champion (Trinity or Schreiner)
2. St. Thomas vs 3. ETBU


Ignore, total stupidity on my part.

Where's UMHB? Or a typo??

See revised response, I must have been on drugs.  With both UMHB and St Thomas losing to unranked opponents in their semis I have no idea what the NCAA will do. 

TheOsprey

I believe you had it right. Just substitute HSU with MHB.

Game story from tonight's NCAA Tournament win for UMHB over Schreiner. Will be updated with quotes later. Big win for the Cru in what was a very tight game.

Tough night for the Cru, as they fall to CNU, 72-70. Last Region 10 team alive in this year's tourney. Game story from Newport News is up on the website, including quotes from both head coaches.

Thought this was very well done as Terry Butterfield speaks on his retirement and stellar coaching career at UT-Dallas. He was such a big part of getting that program to where it is today. Definitely check this out...only about 6 min and pretty interesting if you have interest in D3 hoops!

And of course conference play as well, which should feature some good ones against ETBU and Concordia.

I had the chance to talk with LeTourneau's James Wallace and Joel Wallace for a feature this week for the D3 Texas Newsletter. Pretty cool story with two brothers from Bellevue, Nebraska ending up in Longview, Texas leading the program at LETU. Over their 3 yrs leading the program, LETU is 51-28.
