If HSU wins two out of three, the Cowboys are in and will still host the tournament unless Schreiner College wins all three at Sul Ross State. McMurry must sit and wait. The Indians' only hope is a complicated multiple tie that would somehow put them in. He did, however, produce a copy of the league rules that say multiple ties are broken by the team with the most wins collectively against the other teams in the tie. If that doesn't work, the league will then take individual teams' records against the other conference opponents in descending order, starting with the top-seeded team.
Coaches love to tell their players to worry about only the things they can control.
In the American Southwest Conference this weekend, there is plenty going on out of everyone's control. No one knows that better than Lee Driggers and his McMurry Indians, who have to sit and wait, hoping for a miracle. At least Coleman and his HSU Cowboys and Britt Bonneau and his ACU Wildcats know they still can control their fates by winning on the field this weekend. E.W.
