[coachacola]

The Lamar University Cardinals' game against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Monday, Jan. 11 will be televised on the American Sports Network. In addition to the game being added to the broadcast schedule, it will also be moved to an 8 p.m. tip, which is a change from the original 7 p.m. start time.

The announcement comes just 24 hours after LU announced a deal with ESPN3 which will have the Cardinals' remaining home games aired on either of the two networks.

Another great start for the men. Shooting 14% after the first four minutes and down by 7.

Quan jones is not starter material. Why does price continue to start him. Why not get the young guys experience and playing time.

[geezer]

Give the Cards credit, they never quit. Lamar fights back from 15 down to tie it up at 39 with 32 seconds left in the half. Tied at halftime. Can LU carry the momentum into the second half or will they lay an egg like they did at UCA?

[geezer]

Asked a question in one of the other game threads regarding Chatman's ball handling skills, looked at the stats after his second or third turnover in this game and saw where he has the most turnovers for the Cards this season. Based on that it would appear he doesn't yet have the skills to move out from the basket to a small forward position.

[geezer]

Fouls are taking their toll on LU as two players have fouled out with a little over 4:30 left in the game and CC now back in the lead.

[geezer]

At the under four minute timeout Lamar is down by three and CC has the ball. Need to get a stop and then score.

[geezer]

Lamar looses by 9 - CC 91 LU 82

LU had their chance but turnovers and fouls kill them.

Price likes to bring Nick Garth off the bench for a spark so with Booze hurt Jones was probably his best option.

Whether it's Booze, Jones, Garth or Davis; Lamar needs a point guard who is more committed to taking care of the basketball and playing defense than he is about getting a shot off. While I don't think Davis is really playing the point guard very much his size and stats would make him similar. A couple of stats to look at for point guards: Minutes between turnovers: Booze 9.5 , Davis 20.2 , Garth 12.4 , Jones 10.3 Assist to Turnover ratio: Booze 1.7 , Davis 1.8 , Garth 1.4 , Jones 0.9 As a team Lamar is averaging 15 turnovers a game and 24 fouls, both of these numbers need to come down significantly for LU to become a real threat in conference.
