At the first timeout, TSU up 8-4.

[coachacola]

LU up 16-12. Live stats here: https://tsusports.com/sidearmstats/mbball/summary;team=away

[geezer]

Lamar playing good defense and at the under 12 minute time out have a 16-12 lead.

[lamarfan360]

Sullivan playing well.

[geezer]

Agreed Sullivan has performed well, but picked up his 2nd foul with about six and a half minutes left in the half so will probably spend most of the rest of the half on the bench. Cards continuing to play well overall.

[lamarfan360]

Three Cardinals now have 2 fouls.

[geezer]

Tied up at the half. 39 all

[lamarfan360]

Too many fouls and turnovers by LU.

[geezer]

Cards have gone into one of their scoring droughts. Missing field goals and freethrows both. Defense has been good, but TSU has moved out to a six point lead with 11:40 left in the game. TSU 54 - Lamar 48

[geezer]

From what it looks like on the game tracker, Lamar is not getting back quick enough on made baskets as it seems like when LU scores, TSU comes back with a quick basket. Lamar needs a couple of stops after scoring to get the lead back.

[lamarfan360]

The Cards need to make their free throws.

[geezer]

Turnovers are killing Lamar. LU has committed turnovers on three straight possesions over about two minutes to fall behind by eight points.

[lamarfan360]

With a little over three minutes left Lamar is down three.

[geezer]

Final score TSU 76 - Lamar 73.

[geezer]

Wish I could have watched the game as it's hard to say where Lamar let the game slip away, but the obvious is 13-22 freethrows made and 19 turnovers. Granted some of the turnovers were offensive fouls but you just can't give the ball away on the road.

[lamarfan360]

Bad loss for Lamar.

[geezer]

Does anyone have an update on Kopp? At this point if he misses all of the non-conference do you consider red shirting him this year?

[PeckEm]

Bad loss for Lamar.

 

Definitely a bad loss. We are turning the ball iver way too much, and my guess is assists were probably low again.

[geezer]

I would choose to say disappointing loss. Yes free throw percentage is on the players and coaches. Only listening to the game on radio this time Harold's opinion of some of the calls seemed highly questionable and I remember the last time LU played over there the officiating was terrible. Price is always a gentleman in giving the other team credit publicly and I will agree that TSU has played several much stronger programs very solid on the road. I saw one of their road games on tv and I thought LU might struggle against them.
