As the War Hawks are beginning the second half of their season, it only seems fitting to quickly recap the first half.
McMurry started the season off with two home games on November 18 and 19. First up was Barclay College. Coach Isler received his first McM win with a score of 98-59. Saturday night, the War Hawks hosted Southwestern Adventist University and came away with another win of 98-64.

The War Hawks earned another victory with a score of 85-66. McMurry brought their season record to 4-0 and conference record to 2-0 when they outscored UT Tyler 99-74.
The first weekend of December brought the first road trip of the season. The team traveled to Clarksville, Arkansas to play University of the Ozarks where they continued their best start since the 1998-99 season. After an 84-73 win, McM headed back to Texas to play UT Dallas. Unfortunately, the War Hawks suffered their first loss of the season with a score of 86-94.
McMurry returned home to defeat East Texas Baptist University with a score of 92-71. Next up was Centenary College who is new to the ASC this year. McMurry earned another victory by outscoring Centenary 98-88. The War Hawks finished their first semester of play hosting their cross-town rival Hardin Simmons. The game came down to the final seconds, but Hardin Simmons squeaked by with a 78-81 score.
The War Hawks left for Christmas break with a 7-2 overall record and a 4-2 conference record.
