geezer Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Men are at home and ladies on the road. Ladies game started at 6:00 PM with the men starting at 7:00 PM in the Montange. Nicholls men are sitting in a first place tie currently with one loss on the road at SFA. Nicholls ladies are sitting in eighth place.

geezer Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Tight game for the ladies as LU is up by one at the half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 At the under twelve timeout in the first half the men are down by eight points at 18-10. Turnovers are killing the Cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Half time and LU is down by three after coming back from as much as an eleven point deficit to take a six point lead before Nicholls retook the lead. Weisbrod individually kept the Cards in the game early and has 23 points and four rebounds. Bosha is second in scoring with five points. Nzeakor and Foster each have two fouls.

geezer Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Lamar came out strong to open the half and take the lead but have now been in about a three minute scoring drought taking some bad shots and turning the ball over again to let Nicholls get back in the lead at the first media timeout.

Skinny1 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Nice to play a team that turns the ball over more than we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Eight minutes into the second half and LU is back down by 9. Weisbrod doesn't have a second half score. Too many contested three point shots for Lamar and failing to stop the dribble drive by Peters for Nicholls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Occasionally Noel makes some good plays on defense but he hurts the offensive flow. Eight minutes left and Cards are down by seven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Lamar had the lead at the four minute mark but over the next three minutes the Cards have played one against the rest and have fallen behind by four points with 47 seconds left. Nzeakor is at the free throw line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Lamar falls by five points 79-74. The loss drops Lamar to the 9th slot in the conference. Saturdays game against McNeese will be very important as it is obvious at this point in the season that Lamar will probably be struggling to get into the tourney again.

Noel anD Bosha are only ones that put out max effort on defense. But ur right, Noel hurts on offense. Another season down the toilet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Wasn’t this team supposed to challenge for the conference championship? Embarrassing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinny1 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Wasn’t this team supposed to challenge for the conference championship? Embarrassing! Yep, this is a senior laden team that had high expectations. I doubt it makes the SLC tourney at this point. Nichols was more talented than we were. We can't consistently score, either from the field or FT line. Nichols was sloppy with the ball with 27 turnovers for the game and they still beat us. How much more time does Tic have? McNeese canned him after 6 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I probably shouldn't be that hard on Coach Price since he had to take over for the disaster that was Pat Knight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Although he wasn't a real go to guy either, when I saw that Albright did not return my expectations for finishing in the top two or three diminished. Nzeakor has improved a good bit but not enough to overcome that loss. The two freshman bigs are doing decent but they both have a ways to develop too. I expected more out of Harrison from how Price talked about him last year, but not playing in games may be a bigger factor than I thought. Robinson has been a somewhat pleasant surprise, but he may just need more court time. The earlier comment that only a couple of guys play all out pretty much every play is probably a tell tale as to why this team is failing to meet expectations. Garth and Harrison both don't seem to really get after it on defense. As for Price's tenure, it took three years for him to go after some legitimate height, maybe another year and he will find a couple of 6'3" guards including a point guard. These 5'10" guards don't cut the mustard. I don't care how good of a three point shot they are in high school, you put somebody guarding them that is four to six inches taller on them and the percentage goes way down.
