End of first half and Lamar is up by nine at 41-32. We'll see how Lamar comes out in the second half. LU played Cal State Bakersfield even in the first half but got blown out in the second half.

No problem. Lamar plays a solid defensive game and have a big offensive night from Nick Garth who sored 36 points on the night with 8-9 from three point range and 6-6 from the free throw line. Nzeakor had another double double with 19 points and 13 rebound despite playing most of the game head up against TSU's seven footer. Hunter also had a good night shooting with 17 points on 5-7 from the beyond three point line. Final score LU 80 - TSU 72.

Also thought Barrett came in the first half and gave the Cards some much needed energy. He only scored two points but played some good defense and really hustled. Lamar turned the ball over fourteen times which is too many. Lamar did have more assists than turnovers which I think if we were to go back through the losses that the lack of assists was a big factor.
