Brownwood and Abilene are only 80 miles apart, and it is a quick, easy drive. I think that the teams bus in and then out for those games and do not spend the night as is the case with most of the other travel in the ASC. (Howard Payne's travel partner is Sul Ross State in Alpine at 4481' above sea level. Most teams go out a day early to acclimate to the altitude.) Hardin-Simmons and McMurry go to Brownwood the next week on Thursday and Saturday as round robin play flips among travel pairs. Hardin-Simmons and McMurry play on Monday Jan 22nd. Those games (W & M) will be the local Kiwanis Club's fundraiser game, and there will likely be 2000 fans in attendance. (Here is the link to the 2OT thriller two years ago.) http://www.d3hoops.com/gallery.php?gallery=36835 Lots of good women's hoops in Texas in the next 3 weeks.
