ACU MBB at The Montagne Center Today

[Skinny1]

Abilene Christian men’s team comes to Lamar today for a 2pm tip-off. Lady Cards travel to Abilene to take on the 10-1 Wildcats at 1pm.

Lamar women scored the first five points of the game but then gave up fifteen straight allowing ACU to move out to a 15-5 lead. Lamar has cut that deficit back to five points at the end of the first quarter ACU 23 - Lamar 18.

What's wrong with the WBB team?

[geezer]

Despite coming out in the 2nd quarter to eventually take a one point lead the Cards offense slows down and at the half Lamar is down by ten points.

[geezer]

From what I have seen of the women's team the number one problem is lack of size. ACU players range from 6'4" to 5'6" compared to 6'2" to 5'3". The ACU leading scores so far in this game are 5'11" and 5'8" guards shooting a combine 5 of 9 from three point range compared to 5'6" Hastings at guard and 6'1" center Laidler for the Cardinals.

That's what I thought.

[geezer]

Lady Cards step up the defense in the third quarter to come back and take a two point lead into the fourth quarter. LU58 - ACU 56.

[geezer]

Lamar men have come out strong and through the first nine minutes of the game are holding ACU below 25% shooting. LU is leading by six with ten minutes left in the half.

Come on Lady Cards!

The lead is down to 3 points for the the MBB team. Too many TO by the Cards. Edited January 4, 2020 by lamarfan360

[geezer]

Men take a one point lead into the half. LU 33 - ACU 32.

[lamarfan360]

Lamar had 10 TO's in the first half.

[geezer]

Ladies are down by four points with 28 seconds left. ACU has the ball coming out of a time out.

[geezer]

Ladies wind up loosing by six. ACU 78 - LU 72. It is a loss but ACU is picked to win the conference and at home, so overall not a bad performance.

[geezer]

Men come out cold shooting in the 2nd half and after four minutes are now down by five. For the Cards the intensity isn't there, early in the 2nd half.

Turnovers are killing us. That and our usual stagnant offense.

[geezer]

Turnovers are killing Lamar. With 7:34 left inthe game the Cards have 19 turnovers and are down nine points in points off of turnovers but the game is still tied at 54. Think of what the score might be if LU had 12 instead of 19 turnovers.

[Skinny1]

5:45 left. ACU winning 56-54

[lamarfan360]

Lamar let this game slip away!

[Skinny1]

2:14 left, ACU now up by 11 points, 67-56. ACU running an effective offense and getting wide open shots.

[lamarfan360]

Committing 22 or more TO's will get you beat.

Embarrassing loss. Out coached & out played.

[geezer]

Two minutes left in the game and LU is down by 13. Cards have not made a field goal since the 10:42 mark of the second half. Poor offense. Lack of movement and turnovers. Lamr has too many one dimension offensive players. Holmes doesn't have a consistent outside shot so if he can't get a basket off of a drive the defense doesn't need to worry about him. Buster is a streak shooter and plays out of control a lot of times. Jefferson hasn't displayed a consistent outside shot either. Edited January 4, 2020 by geezer

Lamar should be using more players in their rotation. I see no reason that Sohail and Nickerson shouldn't be getting playing time, especially in the first two thirds of the game. Morrison hasn't done anything to excite me but then again he hasn't gotten a lot of playing time either. Edited January 4, 2020 by geezer

Lamar loses at home to ACU, 74-62. Nail #2 in the Tic Price coffin.
