Overall this may have been the best first half the men have played all season. After being down by seven points at the 11:50 mark of the half Lamar comes alive and out plays Nicholls the remainder of the half to take a 40-26 lead into the break. It will be interesting to see if Lamar can come out of the half with a similar intensity. Lamar has nine assists and three turnovers through the half.

Need to play a complete game. UIW vs NW State game just started.

Nicholls is slowly getting back into the game cutting the Lamar lead to eight points at the under twelve minute timeout. Cards have committed seven turnovers so far this half, with poor shot selection on top of the turnovers.

7:38 left in the game with it tied at 50. Lamar has the ball but must regain their composure and the lead to get a win.

Cards wind up falling by four points 64-60. The usual problems, turnovers, shot selection and got out rebounded. At least two time one of Lamars guards gave up a potential layup to pass the ball to one of the bigs that was unable to get a shot off and score. Several other times the guards tried to drive to deep into the Nicholls defense and lost the ball or threw up a terrible shot. Most encouraging thing of the night was the times that Anderson, Yamanuchi and Thirdkill were in the game together. Time to root for the baseball team and see what happens with spring football.

Lamar blew a 16 pt lead and go on to lose to Nicholls State 64-60. Too many second half turnovers.
