Not sure why you think that the conference does not support UTD or why you think they aren't getting their due.  If you are referring to crufootball, he admits that he is not familiar with basketball and his question is not an illogical one: UMHB just beat UTD so why aren't they ranked higher?  That question isn't that absurd. 
Obviously, as Pat and Ralph explained, the body of work proved UTD  is the better team, as does this week's games.  Most would agree that over the span of the last 5 years UTD has been the best in the league. 

I think most would agree that the pack chasing HSU & UMHB consists of LC, MC and ETBU.  Of the three who has the best chance to knock off the top two? 

Guys the conference is large enough as it is, too large in many people's opinion.  We don't need to go adding additional schools.

ETBU carries a JV squad, which accounts for the large roster.

Ralph - your ideas are sound in principle but lack practicality.  Many schools in the ASC need the money games from D1s for finanical purposes.  The programs are told by their administrations to schedule those games.  In the same vein, not all our schools can go to Colorado or another state to play D3's like McM can.  And schools would hesitate to come to Texas to play if the agreement did not include the ASC team returning the home game. 

Also, it is not as though the other South regional teams, like the SCAC, are 100% amicable to playing all the ASC teams.  For most ASC teams, those are the only teams close enough to play.  Therefore, if the SCAC teams won't play you, you have nowhere to turn but another ASC team or a NAIA/D2/or money game.

Can you listen to LC's games online?

Letu's win over Austin College gives the ASC another good win versus D3 comp.  What is our record versus all other D3's and what was the final East vs West tally?

ETBU loses only 1 starter in former Freshmen of the Year Mary Slaughter, but reload with 2 Juco and 1 d2 transfer.  There's no reason they won't be in the mix at the top of the conference.

ETBU Tigers had 110 kids report for new Coach Mark Sartain (formerly head coach at Trinity Valley).  Word is they snatched us some serious athletes and the expectations are sky high.

ETBU Coach Lisa Taylor has taken the job at the University of Missouri at Saint Louis, a D2 program.  She walks away from a talented bunch.  Whoever inherits this team will have a great chance to do well. 

ETBU gets UTT in double OT at home 85-83.

I would think that since the signing date isn't until April 9th, none of us will get many commitments until after that date.

ETBU downs AC, and word is that LETU upset Ozarks, which would make ETBU the #2 seed.  Who will be 2nd and 3rd out West?

ETBU Lady Tigers hold a comfortable 40-23 early in the 2nd half.

Howard Payne received a vote this week in the top 25 poll, not bad for a team without a key contributor.
