geezer Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Cards will get a big test Saturday at 1:00 PM when they take on Miami. Miami defeated Georgia Tech Tuesday on the road. Lamar will travel to GT for a game on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Looked like the Cards were settling down but then the turnover bug hit. 6:21 left in the half and Miami now up by 21. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Down 58-32 at the half. Guess defense isn't a strong point of this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Final score Miami 104 - Lamar 75. I agree I think defense and lack of experienced big men is the main problem. Free throw percentage was a disappointment at 57% for the game and many of the misses were the front ends of a one and one. Reyes and Catt were both 0-2 from the field, these guys have to score when they get the chance down low. I heard a great comment from Wayne Semien (former Kansas forward) as he was one of the announcers for the Kansas win over Tarleton Friday night. When asked about scoring when getting bumped he said the key for him was to focus on scoring and let the foul or no call take care of itself as opposed to trying to get the foul call. Nickerson was three of five from the field. Ledet was the leading scorer for the Cards with 15 points including four straight three pointers in the last few minutes of the game. Hopefully he is not quite as much of a pure streak shooter as Buster has been during his career. Cards return to action Monday at Georgia Tech.
