Mens SLC Basketball Tourney

[geezer]

Lamar opens tourney against HBU. Cards off to a slow start with multiple early turnovers and baskets not falling early but are only down 7-4 at the first media time out.

[geezer]

Halftime with LU up 33-32. If Lamar can fix the turnovers and maintain the rest of the parts of the game they should be able to extend the lead and get a win. Cards have 8 first half turnovers to 3 for HBU but have out rebounded HBU by double digits 27-13. Team fouls are even but LUmay have a slight advantage as none of the major minute players have two fouls.

[geezer]

LU comes out with high intensity in the second half and over the first three minutes extend the lead to eight points. Just have to keep it going.

[geezer]

At the under eight minute media timeout LU isup 63-53. So far Price has used Foster and Sullivan to rest Nzeakor as compared to the regular season and still successfully maintain and extend the lead.

[geezer]

Cards hang on and win against HBU. HBU made a strong come back over the last eight minutes and did get a one point lead before LU regained the lead and held off HBU. Lamar plays UNO tomorrow at 5:00 PM.

[baller]

The seniors were clutch down the stretch.

[Skinny1]

Didn’t play well but still won. HBU and refs pretty much dictated the pace of the game. HBU’s dismal free throw shooting cost them the game. Really good Lamar contingent showed up to support the Cards.
As a class act, Marco Born went thru the Lamar crowd and personally thanked the folks for coming over.

[geezer]

UCA defeats Corpus and will play SELA tomorrow following the Lamr-UNO game.

[Skinny1]

Will be back to Katy tomorrow for the Lamar/ UNO game. Tip-off will be at 5pm again.

[geezer]

Game two for LU. Cards are off to a pretty good start leading 10-6 at the first timeout. Both Hunter and Garth have hit a three pointer.

[geezer]

UNO hs stepped up the defensive effort and at the under eeight minute 1st half media timeout have moved to a five point lead. Turnovers are hurting the Cards.

[geezer]

Cards have the hole dug, and need to turn things around now. Down by twelve at the under four minute timeout. Turnovers, lack of a solid half court offense and a step slow on defense so far.

[geezer]

Cards go on big run to close the half down just two points at 42-20 in favor of UNO.

[geezer]

NO comes out with a 7-0 run to start the second half but LU works it back to a three point game with 14:14 left to play.

[geezer]

Lamar has continued to work the comeback and are up by two, 64-62 at the under eight minute timeout. Hunter went out with what looked like a hamstring injury late in the first half and has not returned.
