On the road again...

After a long time without posting, I figured sitting in the hotel room for the third straight day was a great chance to get going again.

The men's and women's basketball teams are on a LONG two-game road trip. We left the 'Ville on Friday at noon and drove to Tahlequah, Okla. We spent the night before getting up to play at Northeastern State. The TexAnns lost to NSU on Saturday after falling behind in the first half. They got within four after being down around 20 points in the first period, but they couldn't quite get over the hump and. Here's the game story.

The Texans used strong defense to return to their winning ways and avoiding their first third-straight regular season loss since the 2000-01 season. The Texans played well in the victory over the RiverHawks. Here's the game story.

We then spent the night on Saturday night in northeast Oklahoma again before getting on the bus and driving to Edmond, Okla. yesterday afternoon. The two teams had practice at Central Oklahoma before retiring to the hotel, and a lot watched a victorious Dallas Cowboys team win despite the hype of the absence of the concept of being a team - or so they said.

This morning, the teams have been up and moving around and going to shoot around. The UCO campus held finals last week and had graduation just like Tarleton. I don't know how many people will be there tonight to watch the No. 7 Broncho men and the No. 12 Broncho men host the Texans and TexAnns. The women are averaging 300 at Hamilton Field House while the men are averaging 417 at home.

Both games will be broadcast on KSTV 93.1 FM with the women's game set to start at 6 p.m. and the men to follow at 8 p.m.

Then the road trip continues as we head home. Hopefully, it'll feel short and be a happy one when all is said and done.
