geezer Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 The men take on UIW at 6:30 PM this evening. It is the first of a three game road swing and the Cards need to win to maintain their current tie for second place, either Nicholls or Corpus will fall out of that tie tonight as they are playing each other. Cards need to prove they have developed the maturity to control their turnovers and win on the road if they want to stay near the top of the conference.

geezer Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 First media timeout at the 15:08 mark finds Lamar down by six at 12-6 with Terry Anderson going to the free throw line. Lamar is just 3-10 from the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 At the second media timeout, with 10:48 left in the half Lamar has closed the gap to a one point deficit, 19-18. UIW definitley came out more aggressive, but Lamar has picked up their energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 (edited) UIW up by two at the half, 35-33. Lamar just doesn't seem to be playing well, but you can't identify how specifically from the stats. Lamar is 0-6 from three-point range and neither Hamilton nor Pryor have scored. Knight is 0-3 from the field and 1-2 from the free throw line. Edited February 13 by geezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 Lamar comes out stone cold shooting and at the first media timeout of the second half are down by 12, 47-35. My opinion wrong players taking the wrong shots and just sloppy. Bulajic not facing up and taking a shot from close in and Buckley and Pryor both taking circus shots.

geezer Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 Lamar continues to play poorly, playing down to the level of their opponent on the road, but despite all have climbed back from fourteen points down to be down just two points with 7:07 left in the game 61-59.

geezer Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 (edited) Another terrible road effort for Lamar. UIW wins 76-67. Lamar gets virtually nothing from the big men. Hamilton has only two points and no rebounds. Catt goes scoreless. Buljic does score 10, but never dominates the opponents like you would hope. Pryor ends the game with only two points. Knight makes one of four three-point attempts and never gets in a rhythm. Lamar gets outrebounded by eight. Lamar travels to UNO Saturday and can expect another test.

PeckEm Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Absolutely terrible and another incredibly embarrassing loss. Did you see their arena/gym? What a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamarfan360 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Think Lamar needs a coaching change after the season. They are 13-11 on the season. Unacceptable losses to HCU and UIW. But, Brooks will have a hefty buyout as he has two years remaining on his contract. Anyone on your wish list? I say give Josh Pastner a shot. He is from Houston and has a lot of connections in Texas. Was pretty successful at Memphis before going to Georgia Tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 While I am deeply disappointed in last nights game and the progress that Brooks has made to date, I think Lamar should save their money until his contract is actually up. The performance has improved each year and it looks like the early signees for next year offer additional promise. I also watched part of the Kansas - Texas Tech game last night and Kansas played terrible also, granted they were without maybe there best player, but it was still bad.

Was pretty successful at Memphis before going to Georgia Tech. I think a lot depends on how they finish the season. Lot's of road games plus two home games against the best teams in the league. They could very well end up losing almost all of them. If that happens I think the AD will pull the trigger and make a coaching change. Maybe LU will try to hire McNeese's coach. (just kidding!)

coachacola Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Did you see the McNeese vs HCU score? McNeese demolished them. They're ready to play at home or on the road unlike LU. When they come to Beaumont will they have more fans than LU at the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
