Lamar BB at Tulsa

[geezer]

Early game with a noon start. Lamar started Weisbrod, Nzeakor, Bosha, Noel and Garth. Lamar got out to an early lead but turnovers and missed shots have Lamar down by one at the 13:01 point in the first half. Lamar hasn't made a substitution year.

Lamar has used three subs in the first half, Harrison, Sullivan and Foster Lamar is up 37 - 28 at the half.

Lamar is leading in rebounds, and have two fewer fouls. Turnovers are equal at eight for each team. Nzeakor picked up two fouls in twelve minutes of action and everyone else that has played has one foul except for Weisbrod who is foul free through the first half.

LU up by 8 with about 7 1/2 minutes left in the game, but all 3 big guys have 3 or more fouls.

With 7:19 left in the game Sullivan has fouled out, Nzeakor and Foster have four and Weisbrod has two.

At the under four minute timeout Lamar is up by one at 64-63. Lamar missed some shots, a couple of turnovers and Tulsa made a strong run.

LU up by 5 with about a minute left. Good sign that they held their ground during crunch time and didn't give up the lead.

LU WINS!!! 74-67!!

[geezer]

Lamar wins by seven. Great win for LU.

anyone know why frenchwood and robinson did not travel with team?winning without your starting point guard makes it even more impressive.

[geezer]

By strength of conferences this should be the best team the Cards will face until mid December when the Cards travel to Southern Illinois.

[geezer]

I believe the announcers said Frenchwood is still recovering from a pre-season injury and is not at full strength yet. Not sure about the other one.

The two big freshmen, Sullivan and Foster, played a lot of minutes. I guess they have to since only Nzeakor is the only other player over 6-6. They didn't score or rebound much but they combined for 29 minutes of playing time. Weisbrod is starting the season off right with a double-double. Is Bosha finally healthy? He had a solid game. And no big surprise that Garth led the team in scoring with 23 points, plus he had 8 rebounds. Massey had Tulsa as 12 point favorites.

Great win for the Cards!! I don’t know what Tulsa has this year but they usually have a good team.

It is a nice win against a good program. Nice beginning to the season.

After the win at Tulsa, the Sagarin Computer Rankings have:

Lamar (1-0) #191

Tulsa (0-1) #131

SFA (1-0) #151

 

Doesn't seem to make sense.

There's not enough data to run Sagarin's model early in the season, so starting rankings are weighted more until there's been enough games to actually have useful data. Basically, those ranking are pretty meaningless at this point.

 

I think Tulsa lost 7 of 8 double digit scorers from last year, but that was still a good win. Coastal Carolina should be a good test tonight.
