Cardinals at Sam Houston

[geezer]

Ladies looking to solidify their position at the top of the conference (3:00 PM) while the men look to keep another small winning streak going and move up the standings (6:15 PM). Ladies won big in Beaumont and men squeaked out a come from behind overtime win. Expect Sam to be pumped to redeem themselves from the loss in Beaumont. Cards will need to bring a high intensity defense to the game, needing a strong performance from Nzeakor who has been in foul trouble the last couple of games and relatively ineffective. Also need strong performances from Frenchwood, Harrison and the subs. Expect full effort from Bosha as usual and Weisbrod.

Despite a very poor shooting start (at one point LU was 2-20; 10%) the ladies force 12 1st quarter turnovers to pull out to a 13-8 lead after one quarter.

Ladies extend their lead to fourteen points at the half. Cards continue the tough defense forcing seven more turnovers and the offense picks up shooting 50% in the second quarter. Halftime score LU 34 - Sam 20

[geezer]

Ladies continue to pressure Sam and extends the lead further in the third quarter moving out to a 58-34 lead.

Ladies win: Final 68-44

Men's game: LU fails to get a field goal in the first four minutes and are down by three at the first media timeout. Lamar playing good defense so far just not hitting the baskets.
