Ladies game postponed due to positive covid test in Cowgirls program.

Tight game early finds the Cards up by two at the first timeout.

At the under twelve minute timeout, MSU 17, LU 14.

Typical crap SLC officiating! Both team getting away with traveling. Neither team came out with much energy.

Best first half offensive performance of the year far LU. Up fourteen at the half 41-27. Sullivan has ten points and Buster has twelve. Edited January 30, 2021 by geezer

LU is shooting the ball better so far today.

Can't believe how quickly McNeese has erased the Lamar lead.

[geezer]

Lamar took a nap at the half and McNeese has pulled back to within two points 7 minutes into the second half.

[geezer]

Lamar finally woke up but still aren't playing nearly as well as they did in the first half. 3:55 left in the game with the Cars up by six, 60-52. Kopp is zero for about eight from three point land.

[geezer]

Lamar hangs on for a win as much because of McNeese not taking advantage of their opportunities when Lamar couldn't score either. Final score LU 64 - McNeese 56.

I don't know what's up with Kopp this year as far as shooting. He is probably shooting 20% from 3-point land.

[geezer]

You are close, looked it up and Kopp was shooting 20% before today's 0-9 performance. I know you let shooters shoot even when they are in a slump but the guys sitting on the bench might start producing with some more playing time.

He shot a little over 16% last year, but I attributed it to being a freshman and having to adjust to the speed of the college game. Thought he would have break out year this year, but apparently not. Have noticed he misses short on most of his 3 pointers.

[geezer]

Will admit to not knowing the rules, but is the high school boys three point arc the same as the college or is it the same as the women's three point line? If so maybe between the extra foot or so and then stepping back a little farther to be open he really is outside his range compared to what he shot in high school. I noticed he always seems to be leaning into his shot last year and I too blamed it on his preseason injury and being a freshman. But as I watch him this year he is still doing the same things and he doesn't appear to have the quickness to create his shot inside the three point line either. I think their are better overall players on the bench that aren't getting the playing time because Price doesn't see Kopp's problems.

The reason for Kopp and his dismal, almost comical, .179 3pt% is easily explained. His brother is living rent free in his head. Hitting over 45%. 3 pointers at Northwestern.

To be fair to Kopp, he put away the game with his FT's at the end of the game.
