WT WBB

Lions move to 20-0 with a win over LCU in front of an absolutely packed field house. Ran a first half lead to 18, then took their foot off the gas and let Lubbock back in the game in the 3rd quarter. Battled through the 4th and held them off. Best atmosphere I've ever seen crowd wise here in Commerce. Folks are starting to get on board after the success of football and softball over the last few years. Students, faculty, and community all showing up in numbers. I hope they show again on Saturday for the Angelo game. A win saturday puts us in good position to host post season. Y'all can stop with the "untested, in a crappy division" excuses now.

In a complete mismatch, WT ran away from an under maned Western N.M. team 74-41. At one point Wt scored 23 unanswered points to lead by 40. Western N.M. only
had 8 girls in uniform. Braylyn Dollar leads the way with 21 points and 14 rebounds. Western N.M. could have folded up, they did not, they played hard the entire game. They are a well-coached team, just not as much talent as Wt.

Big weekend for Commerce LCU & ASU. Both at home for their only game of the season.

Im about to lock up the office and here over for it. Should be a big crowd.

The NC? Afraid I'm not ready for that kind of travel.

Ok, last home game, Feb. 29th.

Try to make the last Lady's game of the season.

In the words of Arnold S, "I'll be back." Aiming for the men's Tarleton and the ladies TWU games.

Definitely agree turnout at the games helps create a homecourt advantage at this level. It's not very common to have the attendance consistently around 1,000 for D2. My only complaint is WT fans are great at showing up but tend to observe and don't get up and create much noise. Unless there is a bs call, then they do like to yell.

As we all know playing at home is an advantage. LCU will tell you. They have won something close to 75 games in a row at home. Wt will be a good test for the Lions, we match up better with them then LCU will. Should be two good games.

IMHO one of the reasons Wt plays well at home is the fan support. Wt and LCU play in front of about 1,000 fans. Most schools its boyfriends and parents.

Definitely, undefeated at this level this late in the season is a huge feat. Even if they have played lesser teams, they are blowing them out. LCU will probably be their toughest test IMO. WT ladies tend to not play as consistently on the road historically

Yes, closest game all year was a 9 point win over Tarleton in Stephenville.

I'm not terribly worried about undefeated or not. I'm looking for our programs to take the next step. Wbb here has been (mostly) upper middle of the pack. We are trying to reach the levels WT and Angelo have maintained, and hopefully this season will start us getting there. 19-0 is fantastic, no matter who they put in front of you. LCU Thursday and Angelo Saturday, so we will see I guess.

Have you looked at the records of the other teams in your division. Commerce is the only team over .500. Probably the worst group of basketball teams I've seen in a long time.

Congratulations on your record, but you still have quite a few out-of-division conference games. I would make a little wager the Lions don't go undefeated.

I am not sure they will or won't go undefeated, but they got a sweetheart scheduling as ASU, LCU, WT & ENMU all go to Commerce to play. They are obviously a very good team, but getting all of the other LSC ranked teams at home will test them prior to the tournament. Could be a good move, but I am confident by the time the LSC tournament is over all will be well tested.
