Sunbelt Belt Action 2/21/08

[chrisfisher]

Some important games tonight - several with SBC West implications. First, WKU and USA battle it out. This game is televised on Fox College Sports (FCS) Atlantic (on Verizon, it is channel 300) at 7:00pm CST. Next, MTSU visits Denver. We definitely want a MTSU win, which will help separate the cluster of teams tied for 2nd. Finally, Ark State plays at ULAR. Given the presumed chaos with Ark State b/c of Nutt's untimely departure, I don't give Ark State much of a chance, but I really hope they will upset ULAR for us. Again, a win by Ark State will further cement us as the 2nd place team in the West with an opportunity to knock ULL out of first place with a road win against them on Feb 28.

Um...i remember going to a UNT vs ULL game in Jan at the pit...so i think this UNT vs ULL game is on the road.

USA ahead of WKU at the under 12 media TO.

USA is playing well against WKU in front of a sold out WKU home crowd. WKU is still very much in the game..... the game is being played at a frenetic pace....Very competitive game, but over the last few minutes USA has pulled away just a bit.... 24-17 USA with 7:48 in first half.

31-25 USA with under 5 minutes left in first half.

USA up 41-30 at halftime. For some reason I am rooting for USA. Maybe b/c we already beat them... maybe b/c WKU beat us... maybe both....

57-54 USA at the under 8...WKU seems to have momentum to cut the lead to 2...but haven't been able to get over the hump.

[chrisfisher]

I don't what happen, but the refs are calling every ticky tack foul in the second half.... just kills the flow of the game....

Sun Belt officials once agian are doing their best to ruin a great basketball game

[Censored by Laurie]

59-58 USA...WKU took their first lead of the half...hopefully these officials let them play for the last 4 minutes and the game isnt won or lost on the line.

Turnovers have been killing the Jags. Neither Lee nor Bennett can hit a jumper
