At the under eight time out in the first half Lamar is now down by four points with the score Fresno St 18 and Lamar 14. Lamar went a little over seven minutes without scoring.

With just under six minutes left in the first half Fresno St is on a run and Price had to call timeout to try to stem the tide. Fresno is now up by 10 points. Size is hurting Lamar as the Fresno big man is scoring at will.

Half time and Lamar is down by fourteen 38 - 24. Lamar is only shooting 29% and not winning the turnover battle with 7 versus 6 for Fresno St. Fresno is also out rebounding Lamar by three. Lamar is having trouble getting inside shots since they are not getting the turnovers like they did against Oregon St. Lamar was down by fourteen and cut the deficit to seven before Fresno extended the lead back to fourteen. It will be interesting to see how Lamar responds in the second half.

Half way through the second half and Lamar is holding their own as they got the deficit down to six before Fresno opened the lead back to eleven at this point.

Final score Fresno St 83 - Lamar 64. Lamar had closed the fourteen point half time gap to four points with about six minutes left in the game before Fresno St went on a 13-0 run to blow the lead out to where Lamar couldn't recover.

I hope you're right. I'm really liking our point guard....seems like a leader that we've been lacking for a long time. Against Oregon State I really liked how we seemed to play as a team, took care of the basketball, and defended. I'm worried about our lack of size and poor shooting.

I think outside shooting may pose a problem at times and Lamar has nice size for the Southland. I wouldn't worry about size too much in conference play, but it would help to have some mean, lean, and tough bigs to dominate the boards.
