geezer Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Mens game at the first half under eight minute time out Sam Houston is up by one at 12-11. Generally a pretty even game to this point with neither team shooting very good and turnovers even at seven which is still too many. Sam is making some three pointers but LU is shooting good again from the free throw line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Cards have two games on the road next week and even though they beat both of the up coming opponents at home will need to really play well to get at least a split next week. With the win today and an SFA loss the Cards have moved all the way up to fifth place. Five games left with two on the road and three at home to finish. All five games should be very competitive but games the Cards can win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinny1 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 This win is the 1000th win in school history. Pretty cool on the basketball alumni night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Lamar retired James Gulley’s jersey at halftime. I remember watching him play. He had a smooth shooting touch for a big man. I think he around 50 offers but chose LU. Those were the days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinny1 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 My best memories of Gulley was going head to head with Karl Malone (LaTech) and holding his own. I think Gulley was one of the few players Malone couldn’t push around or intimidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I remember watching him play. He had a smooth shooting touch for a big man. I think he around 50 offers but chose LU. Those were the days! Pat Foster set up camp in Newton--wouldn't let him out of his sight. Gulley not only held his own against Malone (who was 2 years older) but he also did so against Duke in a preseason NIT game in Houston. As for retiring his jersey, it was about time!
