But Texas State-San Marcos?  What a dorky name!!!  What other "Texas State names" will we next? Texas State-San Angelo?

You could have re-named your school after a former alumnus and the 36th President of the United States and in fine tradition with those other outstanding patriarchal Texans,  Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin, Mirabeau B Lamar, Sullivan Ross.

Dr. Turner,

How about Texas State - Alpine?

We are very happy and excited about Coach D getting the chance to showcase his coaching talents at Texas State - San Marcos. It was an honor to play under and learn from him these last four years. He has taught me so much not only about basketball but also about life. God does great things for good people and Coach Davalos is a good example of that.

I just hope we here at Sul Ross will continue to play at the same level Coach Davalos brought here four years ago.

I do plan on being at the first game he coaches there.

Go Lobos and Bobcats

Congrats to MC on a good run so far. I have them picked to play Lawrence in the NCAA Championship game. Make me and the rest of the ASC fans proud. Good Luck.

I never thought I would ever say this but....

:)Go Chocs

SRLobo51 -- Don't private schools receive state money?  I think they do.
Ralph -- as you have provided us with an overtly Christian attitude, is it not bad that you are "anti" anything?

Who are you picking SR51?  Ralph?

I am going with Mississippi

I didn't think private school received state money, not anywhere as close to as much as public institutions did anyway, which was one of the major reasons I choose to attend Sul Ross.

As for my pick for tomorrow's game. You know I have to go with my Lobos. My blood will always bleed red and gray. It's the playoffs and for me the only thing records count for is for seeding purposes. Anything can happen when you get to this point. That's why we play the game right! I know coach D will have them ready to play as he has always done.

Safe travel wishes to all the teams and their fans traveling to and from the games this week.

Go Lobos and west division teams!!!

I have always looked at different colleges as being Public / State Supported vs. Private. The idea of Religious affiliation never really affected my decision. I belong to the Church of Christ but that doesn't mean I would not have attended a Methodist, Baptist or Lutheran institution.

Besides, we're faith based here at Sul Ross. We all have faith that the Lobos will give it all they got this week against a tough MC team.

The Lobo team playing now is better and more experienced than the one Mississippi College played the first week of the year.

Go Lobos!!!!

Congrats to the Lobos,

Anytime you take care of HSU at their place is great!!!
Keep playing with energy, smarts and lots of heart and everything will take care of itself.

Go Lobos!!!!!!!!!

HPU that is..

dballa,

What's the difference in this years team and the one the last two years.

TLU 87  Sul Ross 75 Final

A reply to your earlier post Dr. Turner...

"how did you think that the 2004 SRSU team fared size-wise  and strength-wise against Trinity or what you saw at Puget Sound, UW-Stevens Point and Lawrence?"

We were stronger than Trinity although they had us in the height department.

We were taller than Lawrence as a team but they may have been a little stronger. As for Puget Sound and UW-SP, they both had a little more height but not much.

We were able to bother them with our press and style of play early in the game. I'm sure they don't play many teams (if any) who play the style of basketball a lot of teams here play. I guess that could explain the 15+ point lead. They kept their composure well and we lost ours when they applied pressure.

I don't like to say if much but... I honestly think that IF we had been able to keep our cool late we would have been playing for the National Championship. I know that's a pretty bold statement but we were the best team at that sectional.  We just didn't play like we were.

I'd really like to see an ASC team who plays the up tempo style make it there again. It would help this conference get more respect and exposure. (Just my opinion though)

They have played us close the past few years at their place. There is no such thing as a sure win on the road.

Bcal,

I'm not sure if you're aware that all ASC games count toward conference standings. Here is a link to the ASC site you can find the updated records there.

Dr. Turner,

It was a pleasure to finally get to meet with you. I have really appreciated your comments over the last few years.

I am honored to be part of your All ASC-Opponent team, that's especially nice to hear coming from a fan/staff member of our biggest ASC rival. I say we name a team and play a few games. As I was telling you Saturday, it's pretty tough sitting in the stands watching after you've been a player.

Yes Dr. Turner I am blessed and I thank God for his many blessings everyday.

Sul Ross beat UTT tonight. I got off late and didn't get the correct score. It was something like 96 - 90. It seemed like a pretty close game all the way.

UMHB's loss helps us out a little.

Keep it up Lobos, take care of UTD Saturday!!!!

At halftime in Brownwood:
The HPU leads Sul Ross by a score of 49 – 33.

They have continued to shoot the lights out in the coliseum. Wheeler played a good first half for the Yellow jackets with 12 points. Leading the Lobos was Hooper with 11 first half points.

Sul Ross is winning the turnover battle having 8 compared to 13 by HPU.


Hooper – 11 pts.
Acosta – 6 pts.

Wheeler- 12 pts.
Zinser – 11 pts.

With 5:40 to play in Brownwood: HPU leads 38 - 23 over SRSU.

HPU shooting 66% from the floor and SR shooting 29%.
