2024 Basketball at HCU

[geezer]

Saturday double header at HCU. Women tipoff at 1:00 PM, men follow. Since we are talking about Lamar there are no guarantees, but the women should have a fairly easy win and the men is probably a little tougher but should be a win.

This year the SLC is divided into 3 groups: McNeese is head and shoulders above everyone, then the middle tier of LU, Nicholls and A&M-CC. Everyone else is garbage, although SLU picked up a transfer from Baylor so maybe put them in the middle tier.

After the first quarter the Lady Cards are up by one point, 15-14. Lamar is shooting poorly again, but their defense has forced six turnovers to make up the difference.

Lamar shooting improves in the second quarter and the defense continues to stifle HCU. Lamar up 31-22 at the half. After not scoring in the first quarter Davis has eight points at the half.

[geezer]

Thirteen point lead for Lamar going to the fourth quarter 53-40. Despite having a slight height disadvantage Davis has scored twenty-five points over the 2nd and 3rd quarters, to lead the Cards.

[geezer]

Lady Cards win by eleven 65-54. Davis leads the way with 29 points and 15 rebounds and 3 steals. Weems had thirteen points. Dean only score four and none in the second half.

There's no excuse for the game to be this close.

[geezer]

1:08 left game tied, Lamar's ball coming out of a timeout with twenty seconds on the shot clock.

[geezer]

A two-pointer coming out of the timeout gave Lamar a two-point lead followed by big three pointers from each team and a timeout. HCU has the ball down by two. 18.2 seconds left.

[geezer]

HCU hits a desperation three point shot with 1.9 seconds left to take the lead and get the win as Lamar can't connect on the last shot. HCU wins 78-77.
