I just want to put this to rest.  It was unfortunate that these two schools have had to put up with this.  Both teams regret that it has happened and we all need to move on. I do have to say though that I was on the court when it happened and the majority of the things people are saying on this site and on the reporter news site are false.  I wish that everyone would just put it behind us and if you do post, please don't start any rumors or just write stuff on heresay.  . .This has blown way out of proportion.

hoopstar, I do believe that there would have been an overtime.  M. Jean was the only player on the floor that saw the ref call it a two pointer.  The scoreboard even put three points on the board.  Jean would have definetely not fouled if the ref would have called it a three.  Therefore Miss would have had to make a spectacular shot if they were to win it in regulation.

I probably should not have said lucky in reference to Miss Coll.  They are a very good team and I just hated the way that game ended.  And the three pointer would have made a difference because if they would have called it a three then the game would have been tied with about four seconds left.  Instead HSU had to foul and put Miss on the line. Thus resulting in a three point game after Miss made the two free throws with two seconds left.  And yes I have went to school at both HSU and McMurry so I am a little biased. I would have liked to have seen an overtime after the way HSU battled back in that second half.

Choctaws got lucky tonight. The shot at the end was a three that was called a two.  Should have gone to overtime.  Was a great game tonight.

This chat room sure has been quiet lately.  How is everybody looking?  Teams should be in full swing of preseason by now.  Who is gonna win the west? Is there gonna be any surprises in the east?

I heard through the grapevine that mary hardin baylor will have virginia wesleyan in their tournament next year.  should be very good competition and publicity for the asc.  hopefully they can give the conference a good showing against the defending national champs.

your right jmnaseum, concordia will be a sleeper team.  they played well at times, just don't know if that system can take them to the conf. tournament.  At least until they get the athletes needed to do so.

any predictions for next year.  Mississippi looks like they will repeat and host next year with their returners.  Thw west looks wide open again.  Wheeler and Johnson return for HPU, HSU returns al five starters,UMHB's hailed recruiting class of last year will get to see substantial minutes, and MCM will recruit well as always.  I like the experience HSU has coming back, they beat six out of the eight teams that went to the tournament this year.

Conference awards posted.

Kendrick Johnson should have been 1st team.  He got robbed.

dballa- - i agree that johnson deserved to get the first team nod.  But who do you think he should have replaced?  anybody else think that someone deserved better. . or worse on the all conference teams?

HPU did get first place.  I think that hooper wheeler and johnson are locks and the other players are so close to the others on second.  Jean and pickelman could switch, Pickelman was up there in scoring but Jean averaged a double double.  I think one will be on first and the other on second.  Zinser has a valid arguement for defensive player of the year but I think that Jean just switched other teams gameplans because they couldn't really go inside and he was hard to score on.  HPU coach will definetely get coach of the year with Acosta getting newcomer.

My prediction is that Mississippi will beat Mary Hardin Baylor in the final.  UMHB is playing relly good basketball right now and they will take that into the championship.

Other predictions:
West POY-  Hooper (carried the team when everybody thought they were out of it)
Defensive- Jean (4 blocks a game)

1st team:  hooper- SR
                 jean- HSU
                 Wheeler- HPU
                  k. johnson- HPU
                  McGuire-  HPU

2nd:  Deans- Su
         Oliver- UMHB
         Pickelman- HSU
         Colina-  McM
         Maxwell- CUA

whats everybody else's opinion?
                 

Was at the CU and HSU game and was very frusterated with the clock lady.  Play had to be stopped about six times because the girl running the clock either forgot to start or stop the clock.  That included the last play of the game with eleven seconds left which gave the tornadoes the chance to see how the cowboys were lined up after the clock wasn't started.  Has this happened to any other teams while they play at CU or was it just this time? Just wondering.

Any predictions for player of the year and fist and second team all west

Wut time is the game on Monday? Will it be broadcasted over the internet?

I have seen the game film and there is no evidence of the hard foul by bryant or anything with coach howard.  Everybody was standing and you couldnt see.  Even if they wanted to review it they wouldnt be able to see anything.
