We didn't make it near as far as I thought that we would. Hats off to Oklahoma Christian they came ready to play and down the stretch they did what it took to win the game. They won the SAC Championship. One last chance for Rogers State to show their talents in Kansas City. We are going to prepare hard this week for the NAIA Tourney. We have some things we really need to improve on before we can make any type of run. Its sad and it hurts but at the end of the day we are the only ones to blame. No one individual is to blame, it is everyone as a whole group. We win as a team - we lose as a team.Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836555585803823138.post-29613608098586867692012-02-29T20:21:00.002-06:002012-02-29T20:25:46.347-06:00TOURNEY TIME!!!!!conference tourney play starts tomorrow! the lady hillcats play at 10:45am and the men hillcats play at 4:30pm. its going to be a tough raod to a confernece championship but nothing we cant handle. we will give it our best and play our best and bring a conference championship rogers state university!<br /><br />after we finish conference we have the national tourney march 15-21. its truly a blessing to have the oppurtunity to be one of the top teams in the country and get a chance to prove to the whole country who is the best team. we worked hard all year and this is what we worked for and will continue to play hard and get better because we want to bring a national championship to rogers state and we will by doing our best and believing and having faith in god.<br /><br /><br />!!!!!

During the season it seemed it was going by slow. Now we look back and say where did it all go!!!!! It was a great year this year for the women and men hillcats. we didnt finish the season how we would have wanted but at the end of the day we cant complain. we finished #10 in the country, 22-7, 15-7 in conference so we are very grateful. we have a #2 seed in the confernece tourney and guaranteed a spot in the national tourney so god is truly good no matter how you look at it. coach raised the bar from last years team and i truly believe that we surpassed it and now the bar is raised even higher for nextyears team!<br /><br /><br /><br />!!!!! WORDS OF WISDOM !!!!!<br />The good lord will never put more on your plate than you can handle.

The Hillcats came into the expo ready to beat the life out of macu and leave no doubt who the best team is, and thats just what we did! it started off with the lady hillcats defeating macu by almost 30pts. they played an outstanding game and played together very well. If they keep this up they will go into the conference tourney playing very well!<br /><br /><br />From the tip of the game we gained control and maintained control. a really good team finishes off his opponent when his opponent is down, leave no room for error, and gives it their all for the entire 40mins. Thats just what we did saturday night. we imposed our will rather they liked it or not. Shorter had a good first half scoring 23 points and was literally unstoppable in the first half. in the second half all of that came to an end holding him to only 4 pts the entire half. Now MACU is a good team. they just beat john brown by 30pts that thursday and just came from texas where they swept and beat both lubbock and wayland. so they was feeling pretty good until they came rogers.<br /><br /><br />I really liked our team chemistry and how we played with one another, didnt force a lot of plays how we tend to do some times, and we had fun doing it. when you enjoy what you're doing it makes doing it so much easier and exciting. these are the kind of things that we need to grow on entering the conference tourney and the national tourney.<br /><br />!!!!! WORDS OF WISDOM !!!!!<br />Fear no man but god! meaning no matter what you go through in life whether its at home, on the job, in the community, at church, at school, or wherever keep god first because he will always protect you. never let anyone or anything stop what god has setup for you because whatever he has for you, its for YOU! your family! your team! your life!Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836555585803823138.post-51955391247501045372012-02-20T12:54:00.002-06:002012-02-20T12:59:44.461-06:00good game! fell short!We came out with intensity, fire, and a sense of urgency against oklahoma city. We played a very tough and intense game which we should have one but unfortunately we didnt. it all came down to the last few seconds of the game and we basically shot ourselves in the foot. OKC got a foul and the basket counted and he made the free throw. But we still have a shot to at least tie the game with a 2 point basket and kendrell drove the lave and the ball rolled off the rim. Some say a foul should have been called but the ref's saw something different and game over. No one person is to blame for the loss. we all could have done some things different to change the outcome of the game but sadly we can't go back in time to play it again. im proud of our teams effort and we will build off of our hard work and work harder.<br /><br /><br />!!!!!

WORDS OF WISDOM !!!!!<br />Everything happens for a reason! winning , losing, it all happens in preparation for what god has planned for you/us in the future.

OCU came out playing pretty good and reinke was playing hard in the paint. we were able to score on the offensive end but we had trouble containing the boards in the first half and went into halftime with only a 3 point lead. second half we came out playing and just couldnt maintain the lead. we couldnt keep the lead. down the stretch we got some key stops and some key buckets. a big 3 by alex ewings from the wing and somw big offensive rebounds. final seconds of the game mo rutherford got a big offensive rebound and larry cox hit a 3 pointer from top of the key with 5.6 seconds left in the game. which was the game winner. good job both the hillcat women and men!<br /><br />the hillcat men have another game onmonday evening against st. gregory. we would like to thank all of the hillcat fans for coming out and supporting your hillcats. we love you and look forward to seeing you monday evening.Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836555585803823138.post-77152404707376713912012-02-06T19:01:00.002-06:002012-02-06T19:09:39.343-06:00i am really looking forward to our last eight games of the season because we are preparing and positioning ourselves for the conference tourney and the national tourney! our team has really picked it up on the defensive side of the ball and im really proud and excited to see our team come together in such a way! we have a lot of un-selfish players, all who are willing to play hard all the time whether or not things are going our way and that says a lot about our team. We won some really big games which will play a big part at the end of the season. I love this team and to be a part of it is a blessing from GOD! We have an away game this thursday at northwestern and then we have two home games that saturday and that monday just the men have a home game.

We played a great team against USAO on Thursday night which had a lot of talent but we came out fired up and ready to go. We started off a little slow but at the win we came out victorious and that's all that matters! The game was hard fought and we showed a load of character by staying with the game plan and executing it!<br />
<br />
The game against SNU on Saturday evening may have been one of our better defensive games. We came out on fire on the defensive end of the floor only allowing 26 points in the first half, which in my opinion is very good. We slacked off in the 2nd half allowing SNU to put themselves in a position to tie the game but we kept our heads and continued to play hard and got the win! Good job fellas.<br />
<br />
We like to thank all of our Hillcat fans who support and love us. We greatly appreciate it and we love you!Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836555585803823138.post-18978756308687658822012-01-27T16:18:00.003-06:002012-01-31T10:53:19.049-06:00Hurtful Loss!It was a hurtful loss last night. The Hillcat men fell short againt OBU. We started off slow and had a hard time catching up and regaining the lead. We played hard in the second half and held the bison to only 29 points, but we had a hard time geting our shots to fall. Our defense has picked up dramatically, now we just have to get back to scoring points the way we know how.<br />
<br />
The Hillcat women played an awesome game defeating the Bison women and getting their second win in a row. Good job ladies!<br />
<br />
We look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow afternoon at 3pm and 5pm when we tipoff against St. Gregory's. Thank you for the support and we love you.Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836555585803823138.post-33100427303729794242012-01-06T17:57:00.002-06:002012-01-10T11:05:09.252-06:00RSU vs. OCURSU Lady Hillcats had a tough game. They played with confidence, heart, and a will to win, but OCU came out with the victory. OCU came into the game 12-0 and ranked number 1 in the country. They were a very tough team and our Lady Hillcats gave them a game to remember with the level of competition that they played with. Good job ladies!<br />
<br />
RSU Men Hillcats played the game down to the wire. OCU held the lead just about the whole game and every time the Hillcats got close they pulled away again. We went in to halftime down by 8 points to a very strong OCU team. Our halftime talk was very intense. Coach laid it on the line and told us what we had to do to get back into the game. We came out in the 2nd half and played hard but still having trouble taking the lead. We cut the lead to 2 points and OCU pulled away again. Alex Ewings came in and gave us a spark hitting a 3 pointer from the wing and got the foul and turned it into a 4 point play. Kendrell Thompson scored 2 key baskets late in the game hitting a key 3 pointer and driving into the lane for a short pull up the very next play. 25 seconds left in the game, Hillcat ball, we were down by 2, Justin Ham brought the ball up the court passed to Alex who takes the 3. It hits the front iron goes up and falls in with 3.5 seconds left in the game. Time out OCU. OCU inbounds the ball and puts up a quick three which is tipped by Keeny Edwards and the Hillcat men win the game by 2. A very tough win. We played hard and never gave up or lost focus.<br />
<br />
WORDS OF WISDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
No matter how hard it gets or how far back you may be you have to keep fighting and keep believing. What may seem impossible now has hope. Robert Horry said "Pressure can burst a pipe or pressure can make a diamond." Coach Barkley said at halftime "When your backs are against the ropes you have a choice, either fold up and make it to the end of the round or come out swinging." You have to have a kill or be killed mind frame at all times, in everyday life. Either im going to fall to the pressure or attack it head on.<br />
<br />
We like to thank all the hillcat fans for coming out and showing both teams love. We truly are grateful for you and we will continue to represent RSU to the best. We love you!!!!!!!!Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836555585803823138.post-76407417188557150892012-01-03T17:09:00.002-06:002012-01-04T10:48:28.814-06:00Tough LossIt was a disappointing day for the Hillcats! Both teams played hard and both teams came up short when the time ran out. The Lady Hillcats played an awesome game and played their hearts out. Good job ladies! The Hillcat men, what can I say - we came out pumped and ready to play. We just didn't play hard enough. We gave up too many easy baskets and didn't finish the game out hard enough. A loss is already tough but its even harder to handle when its at home against a team we know we should have beaten. Losing puts a bad taste in your mouth, but don't sit in misery too long because one loss can turn into mulitple losses.<br />
<br />
WORDS OF WISDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />When defeat has hit you head on, you have two choices. . . . give up or go harder! Don't hold your head down, pick your head up, stick your chest out and keep moving forward. Don't feel sorry for yourself - build on what your lacking, strenghten your focus, your energy and your will to win. At the end of the day know that you did everything in your power to get better and help your team get better. You may have lost the battle but the war is still to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />We like to thank all the Hillcat fans for coming out and supporting the teams.

Today is another big day for the Hillcat men and women. Today we face off against OBU at 3pm and 5pm at the Expo Center.<br /><br />Conference play is always tough and the games are always played hard. The women tipoff at 3pm against OBU and we want all of you there to support our Hillcat women. They have been playing extremely hard but they fell short against St. Gregs on Saturday night. They will be fired up tonight and hungry for a win.<br /><br />The undefeated Hillcat men face off against undefeated #3 OBU at 5pm. This will be a very exciting and physical game from the tip as we look to remain undefeated at home and our record unblemished. The Hillcat men come into today’s game ranked #5 in the country so both teams have a point to prove this afternoon. We are coming into the game with a chip on our shoulder<br />and an aggressive mindset to follow. We are the best at what we do and today we shall prove to the SAC and the country that we are the team to beat and whenever you come to play us you better bring your A game the whole game!<br /><br />WORDS OF WISDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />Mark ch.11 - v.23 says<br />"I assure you that you can say to this mountain, may God lift you up and throw you into the sea, and your command will be obeyed. All that’s required is that you really believe and do no doubt in your heart."<br /><br />As long as you believe in your heart in whatever you ask for you shall have. You have to have faith but faith without work is dead. This is not just pertaining to basketball but to everyday life. If you believe you can achieve and you work towards that achievement, there’s nothing that can stop you!<br /><br />We want all our Hillcat fans to come out and show us love and support as we continue down a road of success to an unbelievable season! We love you!Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836555585803823138.post-88185679076354514142011-12-27T20:10:00.005-06:002011-12-27T20:34:26.134-06:00break!!!!!Hillcat basketball is about to tipoff the second semester. We are all almost back from our Christmas vacations and got some much needed rest. The Hillcat men ended the first semester very strong, finishing 11-0 and 4-0 in conference ranked #5 in the country! We are very proud of our achievements so far this season but now it's time to get down and get back to business. This is going to be a very tough schedule ahead of us and we are preparing ourselves to put our best foot forward and come out strong.<br /><br />Last week the Hillcat men played against the University of Houston. We played a very tough game. We went into the half up by three points. We came out in the second half and played very hard but we got down and just couldnt fight our way back into the game. Justynn Hammond played a very good game and finished with the game high 22 points.<br /><br />We start practice tomorrow evening and have our first game back at St. Gregs on the Dec. 31 and then we have a home game Jan. 2 against OBU! We would like to see all of our fans at the game to support your Hillcats.Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836555585803823138.post-13015704178787349552011-12-04T17:15:00.002-06:002011-12-04T17:26:53.604-06:00rsu men vs lubbock<div>this was a non-stop heart pounding game from the tip. this was probably our hardest test this year so far. lubbock came out prepared and ready to play on yesterday afternoon. just about the whole first half both teams kept trading baskets and there wasnt many defensive stops at all in the first half. the hillcat men went into halftime trailing lubbock 45-40. we kept our heads and stayed together because we knew what we had to do as a team. we knew where we fail short in the first half and what we slacked on and prepared mentally to do what we needed to do in the second half. the start of the second half wasnt how we expected it to be. instead of fighting back we saw ourself digging an even bigger hole and was down by 11 points halfway through the second half. through adversity true character presents itself!!!!! and thats just what happened! the hillcat men's true character presented itself and we dug deep and came together more than ever and we fought our way back into the game and tied the score with less than 5 minutes left. we played very tough defense and had very encouraging help from our bench and our fans. and at the end of the game the hillcat men came out on top winning the game 85-79. lubbock scored 79 points, the most points that have been scored on the hillcat men all season. next game is next saturday vs. john brown and we would like to see even more fans come out and show the hillcat emn some love as we continue a historic season! we love all our fans and we thank you for showing your support.</div>Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836555585803823138.post-33230220612526811082011-12-04T17:11:00.004-06:002011-12-04T17:15:15.245-06:00rsu vs. lubbock - hillcat women<div><div>the hillcat women suffered a hurtful lost on yesterday vs the lubbock women. the hillcat women started off on a roll jumping out to a 17-3 lead in the first half but ended up going into halftime down on the score board. they came out playing hard in the second half but ended up falling just a little short as the game clock ran out. the hillcat women played a very hard game but was uable to finish the game out on top. we are very proud of our hillcat women and would like to thank everyone who came out and showed support and to those who watched and listened over the internet.</div></div>Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836555585803823138.post-91767415454359228632011-11-27T14:38:00.001-06:002011-11-27T14:40:49.666-06:00game time<div>the hillcat men and women have a game this monday against ecclesia college. we all would really like if you all show your support the best way u can and we always appreciate our fans supporting us. </div>Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836555585803823138.post-54810572708232280892011-11-27T14:34:00.002-06:002011-11-27T14:38:44.563-06:00thanksgiving clinic<div>black friday was the hillcat thanksgiving clinic! coach barkley, coach love, kenny, jeremy, mo, and myself attended to help the kids improve on their basketball skills. we had a total of 18 kids that came out. it was truly a blessing and we all had a really good time with the little ones. the thanksgiving clinic went from 9am-12pm. it feels really good to be able to give back to the community and to the kids. to actually see that people really appreciate the things we do on the court and want to be like us. so each and everytime theres an oppurtunity to help we all try our best to reach our hands out and help where we can. being able to see the kids learn and really appreciate the help they are getting is the best reward i could receive.</div>Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836555585803823138.post-88080863637090790592011-11-23T13:46:00.002-06:002011-11-23T13:54:55.071-06:00conference game<div>1st conference game of the year is in the bag. RSU hillcat men and women came out with a win against john brown @ john brown. both team played extremely hard and the women game went down to the wire. with leass than a minute left the score was tied at 50 but the hillcat women came down and hit a 3 and then forceda turnover which led to an easy lay-up at the other end which gave them a 55-50 lead with less than 10 seconds to go and they came out with the win</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> the hillcat men had an outstanding game against the golden eagles of john brown. the first few minutes of the game we traded baskets but after that the hillcats started to pull away. john brown shot very well from behind the arc but we were able to match their 3's with some 3's of our own. kendrell, donald, and justin were lighting it up from behind the arc and as a collective unit we played excellent team ball on both ends of the floor. this was by far the best game of the year for us so far. we stuck with the game plan and executed in the best possible way. our defense stepped up with the intensity, our offense ran our stuff how we designed it, our transition was really good, the hillcat bench brought and enormous amount energy to the game, and most of all we played together and unselfish. And that is what win gmaes.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> i would like to thank all the hillcat fans who came to the game and who listened on the internet. we greatly appreciate all the support you show us and we will continue to come out and play hard night after night.</div>Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836555585803823138.post-43476331053813873542011-11-16T16:22:00.003-06:002011-11-16T16:26:11.333-06:00hillcats<div>hillcat basketball has been looking good the past week. homecoming week was a really good success and we had a good show out for the homecoming game. the same dunk contest and the 3-point shootout was very entertaining. the men won our game homecoming night and the ladies lost a tight one. the ladies came back with something to prove last night when they smashed baker university by 22. the women have another game on friday and then both teams play out first conference game against john brown on tuesday @ john brown. wish us luck and thank you all for the support.</div>Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836555585803823138.post-74036829463359233442011-11-07T22:27:00.002-06:002011-11-07T22:34:36.717-06:002-0<div> i would like to thank all the hillcat fans for coming out and showing us love tonight as we got our second win ina row. it was a very good game. we started out a lil slow and had a fewruns in the first have and we went into halftime with a 9 point lead which was very disapointing for us. the way we played was consistent in the first have which allowed the opposing team to hang around with us. we went into the locker rooms at half and talked about what we had to do to secure a win tonight and thats exactly what we did in the 2nd half. we picked the pressure up and pressed full court and caused some turnovers, we crashed the boards and got a lot of second chance points, and we shot well from behind the arc. we still have to correct some things on the defensive end but overall we played very well. it was a much better improvement from the last home game and the team looked a lot more comfortable on the court and we looked more relaxed in our plays and im proud of my teammates tonight in our efforts. final score 90-71 i may be off a few points.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> next game for the women is wednesday at langston and the men and woman have homecoming this saturday and i will look forward to seeing everyone there to support hillcat basketball.

Sunday was a very good day! I want to start off by saying LSU still remains #1 in the polls. Truly the best team in college football and after beating Alabama they have proven to the whole country they are the team to beat!</div>
<div>

Now that that's out the way, lol . . . . . . . . . . Sunday was a good day. I woke up and got ready for church. Several of our RSU Hillcat players attended church on sunday moring! Kenny, Leah, Sierra, Candace, Gianna, Brittany, Freddy, Ryan, Kendrell, and myself. I'm very proud of them all for showing some iniative and being responsible adults by getting up on a Sunday morning and going to church. Thats shows and tells a lot about each persons character. After church we went to the Hammet House and ate lunch together.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
After church I went home and watched some football and relaxed before our evening practice. By the way, the New Orleans Saints won their game too. So I'm feeling pretty good right now from the college level to the pros. On a more serious note, we had a very hard practice yesterday evening. Each practice we're getting better and better and we're playing better together. We still have some things to work on but as long as we have players that are committing to working hard and accepting their role on and off the court, we will be a hard team to beat. We have a long season ahead of us.</div>Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836555585803823138.post-85573284620561405682011-11-07T10:26:00.002-06:002011-11-07T12:42:39.197-06:00women hillcats<div>
The women Hillcats played two games when they traveled to Baldwin City, Kansas. They played Nov. 4 and 5 and won both games. The women are coming together very well and are playing better and better each time they play. They are still struggling a little with turnovers but they are improving. There next game is Wednesday Nov. 9 against Langston, which will be played in Langston. This will be a very good game and another challenge for our Lady Hillcats. They are preparing hard for this game and I know that they will do a good job, play hard , and come out with a win.</div>Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09113422952483656893noreply@blogger.com0
