Wow! Are we almost three full weeks into 2009 already? Yes, it's hard to believe, but true.
Having said that, how about Thursday night basketball action in D-II South Nation.
Due to a small gas explosion on the campus of the University of West Alabama, tonight's basketball contests between UWA and Valdosta State have been postponed. Those games are expected to be made up Saturday, unless otherwise noted. The twinbill between West Alabama and West Florida, at UWF in Pensacola, Fla, will be played on Sunday instead of Saturday.
As for the games that will actually be played, speaking of UWF, both the Argonauts and Lady Argos will travel to central Alabama one last time, as they'll face lame-duck Gulf South Conference member Montevallo in a critical GSC East doubleheader tonight. All four teams at both schools enter that twinbill with identical 1-2 records in conference play, with the Argos and Lady Argos sporting 9-7 and 6-12 records, respectively, while both UM squads have respective 9-10 and 5-13 overall marks.
All eight GSC West schools have their hoops teams in action tonight. That includes the three teams ranked in the top 20 of this week's NABC Division II Bulletin men's poll: Harding at No. 12 Christian Brothers, Ouachita Baptist at No. 17 Arkansas Tech, and Henderson State at No. 19 Arkansas-Monticello.
Finally, in the Peach Belt Conference, Armstrong Atlantic State goes west to Columbus, Ga. to face Columbus State. The women's game should be of particular interest on this Thursday night, as the Lady Pirates are 10-4 overall, and 5-2 in the PBC, while the Lady Cougars are 11-6, and 4-3 in conference games.
