LAMAR VS ST THOMAS


lu cards

Recommended Posts

Five minutes into the game and LU is up 10 - 4, but I don't like what I'm seeing from LU. Too much selfishness in that LU players aren't passing on to another player when they are getting double teamed and taking thee point attempts early in the offense. The shots are open but there definitely not the best shot LU could get.

Halftime and LU is winning 30 - 29. I would expect Price isn't very happy as the Cards are shooting 37% from the field and 39 % from the free throw line. Cards are just three of sixteen from three point land and have fifteen turnovers. Would expect the Cards would be way behind against conference opponent.

Agree with other posters on this thread, Lamar should have beaten this team by at least 40 points. Talked to Coach Harmony at lunch and last nights men's performance was discussed. She felt that final exams had effected the player's mental concentration. Said it is tough playing any games this week.

 

On another note, some schedules has Lamar's game against Howard Payne on Saturday listed as an "exihibition". What's with this? Are we over the NCAA quota for "pansy" teams? Just wondering. If Howard Payne beats us (after last night's performance, anything is reality), does it count as a loss?

It may be considered an exhibition game for HP as they have different rules on number of games etc. I read where some other D-1 school, don't remember if it was an SLC member or not played a D-3 or NAIA school that it counted as an exhibition for the other school.

Rice which is rebuilding after a coaching change only beat the Celts by 11 and Sam Houston beat them by 23 .We certainly did not shoot from outside when open and they were double teaming our post players.I agree with Coach Harmony as I do not like scheduling games during finals week.I surely would not have been at my best after staying up late studying for 2-3 finals on one day sometimes.I believe we will shoot better and protect the ball better in the future.This year teams were allowed to play an extra exhibition hurricane game for charity.Roc's team donated some of the money from their exhibition game to a Port Arthur organization.There are rules regarding no more than 4 non D1 games but those I've been told are reduced depending on how many closed scrimmages you hold with other D1 teams.Obviously they can be reduced based on how many D1 games you schedule out of the maximum non conference games allowable.Tournament games are covered by more rules.

There were some interesting games played by our Southland Conference men.Stephen F Austin beat Louisiana Tech,Abilene beat Air Force and Central Arkansas spanked California.All games our teams were on the road.California previously had lost to Cal Bakersfield who beat the Cards here.We did lose some too tonight but the three wins should help our conference rating a bit.

Shhhh, now we have to come up with another excuse for the sloppy win! All kidding aside, they don't have any games scheduled next week so that makes sense. I think St. Thomas was probably a little better than expected and LU was probably tired and took this game lightly after two nice road wins.
