lamarfan360 Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Kasen Harrison is the second leading scorer among true freshmen and is third among all players in the SLC with 4.1 APG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 LU starts the game with a great shooting percentage over the first four minutes the Cards are six for eight and have a nine point lead 13-4 with 15:59 in the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 At the under four minute media timeout Lamar is up by five with the ball. Lamar got up by as much as fifteen points before Nicholls made a run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamarfan360 Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Lamar still isn't shooting the ball well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 LU up by two at the first media timeout of the second half. Nicholls has come out shooting better in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Two minutes left in the game and Lamar is down by seven. Nicholls has the ball. Cards went into another of their scoring droughts, complete with forced shots and bad passes. Also not playing good enough defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamarfan360 Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 I think Lamar is weak in the post. The Red Birds missed at least 5 layups and their post player appeared to an average athlete scored 19 points! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I can't tell you when the last time Lamar wasn't weak in the post. But even worse Lamar doesn't know how to use a post player. Price hasn't developed a post player or even a forward through coaching from what I have seen. The only time Lamar plays efficiently is if they can play quick enough not to have to set up in a five on five half court game. Once you get to that Lamar just runs around the perimeter and forces a late shot. That is still poor coaching. Also Lamar consistently has a smaller line up than their opponent. I don't understand how Price decides who gets playing time, but Nickerson, Eisa, Smith and Bennet are all as good or better than Jefferson and Kopp. I'll give Harrison a pass to this point as he is a freshman. Buster is a streak shooter and when he is on, it's great but when he's not he is a liability more often than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachacola Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Why is Price still the head coach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamarfan360 Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Why is Price still the head coach? I like Coach Price and hope that he can get this team turned around and finish in the Top 3 in conference. If he can't get the team motivated and focused then a change can be expected because Lamar will not be out any money as in a buyout of his contract. Coach Price contract expires in April 2021. https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/sports/lamar/article/Lamar-basketball-coaches-get-contract-extensions-12252838.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I liked Rocoforte too but that doesn't mean he was a really good coach and was going to get the program back to where it was in the seventies and eighties. Assuming the rumors of a move to the WAC are true, the overall competition will be tougher and the mediocracy Lamar has performed at under Price in the SLC definitely won't cut it in a tougher conference.
