UVSU just lost that one vote...They lost to Houston Baptist tonight! As far as us not playing any of those teams henceforth the reason we haven't beaten them, that's my point. We haven't really beaten anyone just yet to warrant us being MM top 25. Most of those teams in the top 25 have beaten at least one other team receiving a vote ala SFA beating Drake and NDSU.

The problem I see is that LU hasn't beaten anyone on the list or anyone that received a vote yet! I figure the SLC to get a 14 seed because there are several conferences with really bad records going into conference play and invariably a 20+ win team will lose a conference tournament and auto bid to a 16 seed.

I think LU wins a close one. FT shooting down the strecth pays off for LU. LU 76 UTA 72 Would be nice to get a three game cushion on those guys this early.

I have to agree on this one, KD does more for this team than any other PG hass ever done for an LU team. He is a delight to watch. Wish we would have had him for 4 years. I really hope that Miles is learning from watching Kenny do his thing. Miles shows some flashes of being very good in time as well. Nuno Muandumba that we are getting from AZ next year is highly rated on the ESPN database. They had Charlie Harper and Miles with 40 scouts grades out of HS last year and they have Nuno at 87.

Wirthout question for PNG over the years it has been WOS. Who said Vidor? Vidor plays hard but we have beaten them year in and year out. This year was the first loss to the Pirates in a while. MC Madness goes back and forth a lot. I wouldn't say Nederland is the toughest to beat because we have beaten them, but lately it is only every third year! WOS on the other hand always beat us. They were the only team to beat the Long team in '99 before state and in '98 they stoped us on the two yard line and we couldn't get back linedup to try and win it as time ran out. When K. Franks was there we kicked off late in the second half after tieing the score 7-7 and we tried to kick it away from Franks, but we kicked it OB and they chose to move us back and re-kick, so instead of kicking away from him again, we kick it right to him. Needless to say that didn't turn out so well for us as he hurdle a defender at mid-field and took it to the house. We lost 14-7. It wasn't just that we rarely beat them, but rather that each time we lost to them it was a nail bitter and you expect to win a few of those! And the one time I remember us beating them we blew them out.

Actually I disagree. They missed a few travels and a few calls, but they let them play. That's what is wrong with SLC Crews usually they call every ticky tacky play. Get out of the SLC and the big dogs get physical and the officiating allows them to play.

Young men make mistakes! If true then this was not that bad of a mistake and I am sure he learned a valuable lesson. I would have been very dissapointed if it had been drugs or robbery like some of our other local talent that made it to Austin. Did he hurt anybody? Did he hurt himself? And you have to ask yourself also did he even know that he wasn't supposed to sell the tickets? So what did he do that was so wrong that he shouldn't warrant a second chance? Again if it was rape or drugs or robbery or assault then I would really question his judgement, but it was none of those things and not even close. So being it a minor mistake and he paid a pretty lofty penalty by not being able to experience the bowl atmosphere and the gifts that come with it, I would venture to say this could be a good thing for his future (not as good if he didn't do it at all of course) and it shouldn't hurt him later in life like one of those other offenses would have done. All this is contingent on him learning from this minor mistake.

Ozen! Seems like they fire one about every other year! I could be wrong, but that's what it seems like.

No kidding! 6-1 218?? I don't think that is accurate. Hanna is smaller than Hemmings was and Hemmings was 6-0 215. I'd move him to LB (especially if he is 6-1 218). He could play at 230.

Very good school and very $$$$. One of the top Engineering schools in the nation. In the Denver Area. They must be DII??

I worry about our ability to gaurd Green! We haven't done well so far with 6'5"+ guys that shoot from outside. Home court gets us a tight win, but attendance will only be right around 3K.

Have they released any design info? I bet it will be nice. I would love to see something built into a hill on either side like Silsbee or Tully Stadium (of course they'd have to build the hill ;D).

WRONG!

I must say that of all the local 4A's Vidor has the worst facilities followed closely by Lumberton. But at least Lumberton has a good parking lot! To answer the question of the post with another question, didn't the bond in BMT pass for a new joint facility? If so what is the time frame? Will be interesting to see what they come up with for those three schools to share. I heard it would be located out on I10 near Ford Park.

I know kids change their minds all the time for one reason or the other, but if you are not finished with the recruiting process, DON'T COMMITT!!!!!!! I suspect Louis is a standup kid, because of his family background.

Didn't 8-4 SFA beat 10-4 Drake at Drake? I gues Drake in the MVC is just sexier! ;D

Isn't it funny how everybody "KNOWS" something, but they don't want to post anything because they may upset their "SOURCE". Come on folks...WE are not journalists. It's OK to tell what you know. The PNG Gestapo won't come after you!

I have to agree. Ashton is not a D1 talent. He is an undersized post trying to play on the wing. Jay shot horribly also. Didn't expect to win, but sure as heck didn't expect to get embarassed again. We need bigger more athletic guards. Not neccessarily PG, but the two and three have to be able to defend these bigger teams. So if we win the SLC and get the bid, we will be a 16 no doubt with these piss poor performances against teams that will be 5 or 6 seeds at best and a lose to an attrociuos Indiana State team. Not sure if I am as excited now about our chances in conference.

Is it on the internet?

I hope they keep playing Memphis and it would be nice to get them to Beaumont one day. I suspect the only way we get Memphis here is if we win a few NCAA games and become a Butler/Davidson/Gonzaga type program. Then Memphis coming to BMT and loosing would not be a bad thing. One can only dream!

Do you play those guys much against Memphis or do you get them the extra rest before the conference schedule starts? I might play Coy and Skylar limited minutes, but let Tristan go full strength because he is a Senior and might not get another chance to play a top team like Memphis. Questionable though if you rest them or do they need to get back into game situations. Charlie Harper looked really rusty in his first game back the other night, so the game against Memphis may be needed for the four of them to get on track??

I heard Larry Tidwell on TV the other night before they played ND saying that they really wanted to beat ND so they could play ISU and not Niagra because They would beat Niagra easily and they wanted the ISU challenge. Might want to watch what he says in the media from now on.

Kentucky (with their big guards) was proof enough for me that LU will struggle to get shots off from the perimeter and LU may not live and die by the three against Mids and the other chumps that they have played, but against quality teams like Memphis, they need to get and hit open looks from outside because they won't score alot down low! However I don't see it being as bad as Kentucky because the WOW factor won't be as bad. Memphis 88 Lamar 68

Why would a coach want to start a season with a player that he leans on so heavily that will not be there when it counts (conference time)? As far as Green goes, if he is A.C.'s nephew and A.C. is his role model and positive influence then he will do well in life. Think he will get a shot in the NBA? 6'5" guy that shoots 40% from beyond the arc??
