MBB vs Southern Miss Round 2

[geezer]

Lamar returns to the Montagne this evening for another game versus Southern Miss. Will it be another beat down or will the Cards play better? Game time is 7 PM.

Better start than Saturday, but the Cardinal guards are throwing up prayer shots near the basket. Fortunately, USM isn't shooting like they did last game. Lamar has one turnover through the first six minutes.

Eleven-minute mark of the first half finds Lamar down by three 17-14.

Lamar started 4 freshmen and 1 junior!

Chris Pryor has 5 turnovers in the 1st half! That is terrible for a starting PG.

[geezer]

Lamar tied the game at 25 with 4:08 left in the first half, but then aid USM to a 15-4 run to end the half with four turnovers, three of them by Pryor, to go into the half down by eleven, 40-29.

 

After a good first six minutes of taking care of the ball, Lamar ends the half with eight turnovers, seven of them from two of the non-freshman guards. Seems to me Brooks could play a little taller lineup. I don't see why Harris and Pennebaker couldn't be on the floor at the same time with either Yamanouchi or Hamilton and two of the shorter guards.

SOFT, LAZY, AND POORLY COACHED. HALFCOURT SETS ARE NON-EXISTENT. DEFENSE IS TERRIBLE. JUST FREAKING PATHETIC. HOW DO YOU DEVOTE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE TO BASKETBALL AND PUT OUT SUCH A PATHETIC PRODUCT?

We are so easy to defend it is laughable. It is so easy to get an open shot on us it is laughable. We are so awful it is disgusting.

Who are the awful teams in our conference? Someone tell me how we will win more than 4 conference games? Please? How can this garbage win at any level? I think Marshal middle school could beat this crap.

Final score 91-65. Big, momentum advantage to USM early in the second half, when Lamar fouls a three-point shot that goes in and the foul is ruled fragrant. Turns into a seven-point play by the time it's over. Lamar was never able to recover.
