The midpoint of the SLC regular season is complete with
Sam Houston tied for first with a 7-1 record. After
losing the first game 75-73 to preseason #1 SFA on the
road, we have reeled off seven straight victories. Road
wins at Texas State, Lamar(2OT), UTSA(2OT), and UCA
along with home wins against SLU, UTA, and TAMU-CC. The
game at Beaumont versus Lamar tied a 50 year old NCAA
record for FT attempted in a game. We made 46-55 and
Lamar shot 42-52 in a 112-107 victory. Next was a 72-51
win over TAMU-CC to give the Islanders their only loss.
The following Wednesday at San Antonio was another
double overtime win as we scored with :5 seconds left in
the first overtime to extend the game. It was a hard
fought contest by both teams and an exciting finish. Our
guys have grown together and are confident as we prepare
for the second half of conference play.

We finished the non-conference part of our schedule with
a 6-7 record. Not quite the 12-1 mark of a year ago but
our team is made up of nine new players. The guys have
played hard against a tough schedule (2 Big 12, 2 CUSA,
and 2 Sun Belt road games) and shown improvement,
especially on the defensive side of the ball. We begin
conference January 10th at SFA, our arch rival and
preseason #1 in the SLC. We look forward to the game,
which be the first to be televised on the new SLC
Network.

The season is rapidly approaching as we will play
Schreiner Friday the 14th in our opener. This is a very
busy time of year for all of college basketball. Too
much to work on and too little time after just weeks of
practice. Our team has worked hard and is starting to
come together defensively. We have excellent team speed
and quickness. Our staff likes the depth that we have
with this team as well.

We are excited to be back in school after Hurricane Ike
forced six days of no class. The university never lost
power and our players thought it was Christmas holidays
- conditioning, weights, and individual workouts. The
team has come together during the fall and it will be
important with eight new faces on our roster. We have a
group of hard working student-athletes who want to
become better in the classroom and on the court.
