geezer Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Men continue the start of the SLC in New Orleans Thursday evening while the women are at home. Men have lost six straight to UNO with the last win coming at home in 2015. UNO is currently 4-8 on the season and like Northwestern St do not have a D-1 win coming into the game. UNO comes in with conference losses at home to ACU by 6 and on the road to Sam by 8. Even though this is a road game early in SLC play, is this a must win game for LU?

lamarfan360 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 It's not a must win but would be a great road win considering the history of losing to UNO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Men only have ten players suited up tonight. Not sure yet who are missing. Cards started Sullivan, Muoka, Atwood, Holmes and Jefferson. I recognize Kopp, Cameron on the bench. Looks like Buster and Sohail also. Not sure about the other one.

geezer Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Sullivan picks up his second foul at about the 13:30 mark of the first half. A couple of ticky tacky calls on the offensive end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinny1 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Lady Cards are down by one at the end of the first quarter. Lady Cards come out cold. Forcing shots and getting beat on the boards. At least the refs are letting them play for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Halftime at both games. Lady Cards are down by three UNO 25 - LU 22 and men are up by seven UNO 31 - LU 38. Men were up by as many as 13 late in the first half before getting a little sloppy on offense again. Buster has 13 points to lead LU 3 0f 4 three point attempts. Sullivan has 12 points and 7 rebounds despite the two fouls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamarfan360 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hopefully the men's team can hold on to the lead and the women's can play better offensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Second half of the men's game starting out like the first with the refs calling a bunch of early fouls. At the first media time out of the second half LU has five fouls and have three players with three fouls each. Sullivan, Muoka and Jefferson. Lamar has been able to hold the lead so far.

geezer Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 3:34 left and UNO headed to the free throw line with the score LU 66 - UNO 60. Ball protection and free throw shooting will be key for LU to win this game. That's not something that LU is known for. We will see what happens.
