Cards vs UNO 8 PM tonight

[geezer]

Cards are at home against the Privateers tonight. UNO is 2-0 in conference with home wins over ACU and AMCC. They are a senior lead team with their leading scorer Thomas (similar size to Weisbrod) averaging about 20 pts per game. Game time is approximate as the ladies tip off at 5:30.

UNO beat Lamar by 4 last season in Beaumont.

The Privateers' schedule parallels Lamar. They've struggled on the road with the exception of a big upset on the West Coast against Washington State, UNO is great at home just like LU.

Here's to hoping the Dirty Birds can knock down some FT's, rebound the basketball & defend the nest!

hope we have a good crowd tonight.

Schools not back in session yet and no winning tradition so I wouldn't bet on a crowd. It would be nice though.

What CRAP, Gresham opens the ESPN3 broadcast and doesn't even know that Lamar has played and won a conference game.

[geezer]

Slow start for both teams as nearly four minutes goes by before UNO gets the first basket of the night. Under 16 timeout and 2-0 UNO in the lead.

[geezer]

Under 12 timeout and Lamar is now up 8-6. Both Weisbrod and Frenchwood are on the bench with two fouls each. The other guys will have to step up.

[geezer]

UNO takes advantage of Lamar's foul troubles and have pulled out to a seven point lead at the under four minute timeout. Lamar committed about five offensive fouls over the last eight minutes creating too many trips down the court without a scoring opportunity.

[geezer]

At the under four minute timeout UNO moved out to an eleven point lead as the Cards committed about five offensive fouls over the past eight minutes that created too many trips down the court without scoring opportunities.

[geezer]

Cards come back tough over the final four minutes of the half to tie the game at 28. Over all the halftime stats are pretty even also.

[geezer]

Eight minutes gone in the second half and Lamar is down by three. UNO's big interior is upsetting Lamar's offense. Weisbrod can't get going and since there hasn't been a consistent outside game UNO is able to pack the paint.

[geezer]

Three minutes to go in the game and Lamar still trails by three. If the Cards can close out the second half like they did the first half Lamar has a decent chance to pull out a win yet.

[geezer]

1:10 left and Lamar is up by two but UNO shooting free throws.

[geezer]

Heading to overtime.

[SportsGuy]

Free throws, poor shooting doom the Cardinals in a 66-62 loss.
