SBU defeats ASU 89-84
box score
game recap
Angelo State fell behind 11-0 and could never catch up to Southwest Baptist.

The refs called 62 personal fouls and 5 technicals.
ASU was led by Shavar Burch's 27 points and 9 rebounds. Ryan Bennett had 20 points. No other Ram was in double figures. The Rams finish the season at 20-9.

Stabbing victims named
Ada — The identities of two East Central University students stabbed at a local bar Thursday have been released.
Jessica Brown, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokesperson, said Keewan King and Tyrone Gibbs were stabbed at the C-4 Bar north of Ada.
“There was a fist fight between a couple of guys,” Brown said. “One of the people involved pulled out a knife and stabbed the two victims.”
Brown said the suspect fled and no arrest has been made. Agents are following leads and conducting interviews with witnesses who were at the scene.
King and Gibbs were taken to a local hospital by private vehicle.
Gibbs was treated and released while King was admitted and remains in critical but stable condition.
Both are ECU football players. King is a sophomore wide receiver from Seagoville High School in Dallas. Gibbs is a sophomore wide receiver and defensive back from Wylie, Texas.

Revenge sweet for WT
West Texas A&M's Lady Buffs left nothing to chance this time.
Still haunted somewhat by blowing a 16-point lead in the second half and being beaten by a 40-foot shot as time expired in overtime a year ago in the South Central Region quarterfinals, they erased that bitter memory in a big way.
Courtney Lee, playing with a broken bone in her nonshooting hand, equaled her career high with 25 points, and the Lady Buffs rode a great first half to a 78-53 victory against Abilene Christian before 1,552 fans Friday at the First United Bank Center.
The Lady Buffs took charge of this one thanks to a 15-4 run during the final 4:19 of the first half that gave
Central Oklahoma wins in OT
Cristina Yarbrough eats, writes and shoots right handed.
But the Central Oklahoma junior guard ended up burning Southeastern Oklahoma State with her left hand Thursday afternoon.
Yarbrough drove the lane and scored on an off-balance, pressured layup with her left hand with 1.5 seconds left in overtime, sending Central Oklahoma past Southeastern 68-66 in a South Central Region quarterfinal at First United Bank Center in Canyon.
Central coach Guy Hardaker and players Rose Anderson and Ashley Beckley broke out in laughter when asked about Yarbrough's left-handed skills.
"That was an awesome shot," said Anderson, a junior forward who scored a team-high 19 points. "We were all blowing at it to help it go in."
"I think our entire bench was willing that shot to go in," Hardaker said. "But we always talk about players making plays when it counts, and Cristina did that. Southeastern is a good team. A very good team. It's a nice W."

Javelinas grow into something special
Fistfights in practice. Multiple injuries. New players in a new system. There were a lot of hurdles Texas A&M-Kingsville had to overcome this season. And it took veteran men’s coach Pete Peterson some time before he got an inkling the Javelinas might be able to turn in a special season.
Now, the Javelinas are in the NCAA Division II playoffs for the second time under Peterson and only the fourth time in school history.
“It was tough. To be honest with you it was looking pretty bleak,” Peterson said. “I used to always believe if you stay the course, if you’re doing the right thing, keep doing them over and over and you learn to develop good habits — and we’re trying to change some habits — but eventually maybe things’ll be OK.”
Rams hoping to overcome slump
The 2008-09 Angelo State University men's basketball season can easily be called a season with two faces. Through the first two months of the 2008-09 college basketball season, the ASU men didn't lose any games back-to-back. Going into the final week of the regular season, the Rams had lost two games in a row only once. They won their first seven games and 12 of their first 14.
But the Rams also lost three of their last six regular-season games. With two games to go, they were the No. 23-ranked team in the nation and poised to win an outright conference championship.
They lost those two games and limped into the Lone Star Conference tournament, where they fell to Southwestern Oklahoma 82-65.
MSU, Incarnate Word clash tonight in NCAA regional
WARRENSBURG, Mo. — This one should be played in the fast lane.
Incarnate Word vs. Midwestern State features two teams averaging better than 80 points game.
So it could be first one to 90 wins when the Cardinals and Mustangs square off at 8:30 tonight in the first round of the NCAA Division II South Central Regional tournament.
MSU, 24-6 and Lone Star Conference champion, comes in as the fourth seed. UIW, 23-6 and the Heartland Conference champion, is the No. 5 seed.
“They are very similar to us,” MSU coach Jeff Ray said. “Both teams like to get up and down the floor, and percentage-wise, both do a good job defensively. They don’t have a post-up post man, but we don’t either. And both of us have a lot of depth where guys can come off the bench and have a big night.”
“We can push it and score a hundred or we can hold it back. But we prefer to push it, and we can get up and down the floor,” UIW coach Ken Burmeister said. “We also both have guys who can come off the bench and get things done. In Division II, most teams will have a drop-off when that happens.”
