Lamar takes on NWST in Basketball today

[Skinny1]

Both MBB and WBB play NWST today in SLC play. Women’s tip-off is at 2pm in the Montagne Center. Guys game starts at 3pm at NWST. Be nice to win both games like we did Wednesday night versus SELA.

Ladies close the first quarter out up by two points at 14-12.

After the 1st quarter Lamar women leading 14-12. Cards started cold from field and foul line but played good defense to get back in the game.

What's the score?

Halftime: Girls maintain 2 point lead at 25-23. Cards shooting less than 50% from foul line. Rebounding about even, but LU has advantage in turnovers 7 to 13.

At the under 12 media TO Lamar men trail 17-14.

[lamarfan360]

Lamar ties the score at 25 at the under 8 timeout.

[Skinny1]

End of 3rd quarter for the women with Cards leading 43-36. Foul shooting has been atrocious. NWSt turnovers are really hurting them.

[lamarfan360]

Good job ladies!

[geezer]

After Lamar got out to their largest lead of nine points with just over ten minutes left, NwST have come back to take a one point lead with a little over four nminutes left.

[lamarfan360]

Atwood just fouled out.

[geezer]

Cards are in real trouble as Atwood fouls out with 3:38 left in the game. Cards are in another of their shooting funks and not taking good shots. Edited December 21, 2019 by geezer

[geezer]

I don't understand why after getting good minutes from Morrison, Nickerson and Sohail in non-conference lay none have played in either of the two conference games.

[lamarfan360]

Good question!

[geezer]

NwST closes out the game with a 67-61 win. Lamar scores only ten points in the final eight minutes while giving up twenty three. Sullivan comes up one rebound short of another double double.

[lamarfan360]

LU has not finished the games well all season.

[lu cards]

Time for baseball and time to find a new basketball coach.i like tic but enough is enough!!!

[coachacola]

NWST picks up their first D1 win of the season against LU. I guess we should thank Coach Price for bringing LU basketball back from the abyss to mediocrity, but that's about as far as he'll take them. When does his contract end?

[lamarfan360]

I like Coach Price and will reserve judgment till after the season.

 

I don't see Born wanting to can the MBB coach after firing the football and volleyball coaches.

[geezer]

I think it depends on when Price's contract is up. I don't see a problem from a public relations stand point of making a change, but can the department afford another buy out? If your fed up with mediocrity then find somebody better. Let's face it LU is mediocre in the three major men's sports, maybe it is time to start over.
