Covering UMHB Athletics and the stories behind the score
LONGVIEW- The shots were not falling for either team on Monday night.
So the defense took center stage, and the UMHB women’s basketball team proved it can win in more ways than one, holding LeTourneau to just five fourth-quarter points for a 57-39 road victory.
For the second time in the last 24 hours, the UMHB women’s basketball team, No. 15 in the nation, will play an ASC road matchup. The Cru face LeTourneau Monday afternoon in Longview and will be in for a defensive challenge. We bring you news and notes on both teams, projected starting lineups and the live stream information in today’s gameday preview.
RICHARDSON- The last time UMHB and UT-Dallas battled, it took the Cru overcoming a seven-point deficit and an overtime period to decide the victor.
But on Sunday afternoon, in what UTD head coach Polly Thomason called “a matchup of two good game plans defensively”, UMHB led for 66 percent of the game, and perhaps more importantly, held the lead as the final buzzer sounded. No buzzer-beating shots, or late scoring runs necessary. UMHB earned the 55-46 victory, its 16th straight, and moved to 14-0 in ASC play.
The UMHB women’s basketball team looks to extend its win streak to an impressive 16 games on Sunday afternoon at UT-Dallas. The road duel is set for 3 p.m. and we bring you news and notes on both teams, projected starting lineups for the Cru and Comets,as well as the livestream link in today’s gameday preview.
BELTON- Sudden change.
It was a theme of last season, whether you look at the Covid cancellations, or postponement of games due to the winter storm. And this season, though in a lesser amount, the same two reasons have contributed to the shifting of the UMHB women’s basketball team’s schedule.
