Lamar down by eleven at the 9:00 minute mark

[geezer]

Halftime Sam Houston 37 Lamar 22. Lamar's usual problems for Lamar turnovers, three point shots made, free throws made and inconsistent shooting.

[geezer]

Lamar has allowed at least three offensive rebounds to Sam on free throws. That is really unacceptable.

[geezer]

Lamar creates enough of it's own problems but just listening it doesn't seem like the fouls are being called equal. Lamar had six more fouls than Sam in the first half and committed the first fouls in the 2nd half. Having watched Sam for years I doubt that they're not making contact on Lamar.

[geezer]

Sam out scoring Lamar by fourteen over the first eight minutes of the second half. Glad I can't watch it.

[coachacola]

I had the game but couldn't watch it any longer. They just can't compete yet against the top teams yet, especially on the road.

[geezer]

Final score Sam 79 Lamar 50

[geezer]

Lamar's stats show how poor they played. One of thirteen from three point range, 45% from the free throw line, thirteen turnovers and out rebounded by 12. Just a very poorly played game.

[Sweet T]

They competed against Indiana, but they did play poorly this game. I watched the game. The foul calling was not equal. A lamar player would go up for an offensive rebound and would be pushed so he misse d the shot and got the rebound and a foul would be called on him. Never mind, that the defender jumped on over his back. It got to the point where the players were afraid to play aggressive defense. One of our players got run over in the open court and a foul was not called.
