WHAT A FREAKING WIN!

 

The biggest non-conference win since 2008 when Steve Roccaforte's team knocked off Pat Knight's Texas Tech Red Raiders at the Montagne.

 

It's still too early to see what this team is made of come March, but you have to love the non-stop energy and grit from tonight's win. No one expected them to win (and if you say you did- then you're LYING :rolleyes:) but the defense was OUTSTANDING.

 

Shots will start falling, but if they keep playing "D" like this then Lamar is headed for a special season.

Ok. I watched the whole game. I was ecstatic we won but I'm definitely not breaking out the champagne bottle yet. What I liked: for the most part we played well as a team. Our point guard did a good job running the show, seems like we had very few turnovers. Nzeakor looks good. Good quickness in the post with some nice post moves. I was a bit surprised that the Nederland kid played inside for the most part. But, I really like his aggressiveness and he seems to be a talented kid, he really has some nice moves in the post and provided a tough matchup for their bigs because he was quicker than they were. Albright looks like he might be pretty good. I was impressed with his shooting touch. I wouldn't be surprised if he's one of our best 3 point shooters (and he's 6' 8"). For most of the game our defense played well and essentially won the game with all the turnovers they created.

 

What I didn't like: we shot the ball horribly even though I thought we had nice shot selection. I'm concerned about our lack of size. And we played very poorly down the stretch with some really dumb fouls and poor free throw shooting with the game on the line. Believe it or not this is a game we easily could have and probably should have won by 10-15 points because Oregon State played terrible. They constantly turned the ball over. I think at one point we had like 40 shots compared to their 17. Oregon State was very big but they seemed slower than us and the announcer kept mentioning how young they were.

 

Anyway, all in all still a great win.

i agree we didn't beat duke or Kentucky but it is a pac 12 team and this point any win for our program is a good win.i liked our ball movement but we have to shoot way better.overall it was ugly but we hustled and did what we had to do to win.hopefully this is the beginning of something good.

I'm not worried about the lack of size. SFA was 1 basket away from the Sweet 16 and the tallest player in their rotation was 6'8.

 

You don't need size to win the Southland.

I agree about the size issue, it shouldn't be much of a factor in the slc.

 

It's way too early to tell but what I think I liked the best of all was just how we looked overal. For the most part we seemed very poised (minus the last minute or so). We played very hard defensively and we took good care of the ball. We actually looked like a pretty good basketball team that played as a team. And even though we shot poorly I thought our shot selection was good. We were patient when we had to be but took the three when it was there.
