geezer Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Lamar down 11-6 at the first timeout. Playing okay, just not hitting shots yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Lamar keeps playing good defense and overall out hustling UTSA. With 7:52 left in the half Lamar has taken the lead 26-23. Live stats not working yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamarfan360 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Not able to watch due to work responsibilities. How is the perimeter defense tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Jackson hits a half court shot at the buzzer to take a 42-40 lead into the locker room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Seems to depend on who is in the game. The three returning guards are not consistently keeping their shooters from getting set at the three point line. When Jackson and Knight are in it seems better. So far Knight is the difference maker as he has three three-pointers. Lamar would be further out front if they were hitting their free throws like they did in the first two games.

geezer Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 At least tonight there is a big difference between the defensive intensity from Knight and Jackson compared to Pryor, Buckley and Pennebaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Lamar down by three at the second media timeout of the 2nd half 61-58. Not hitting enough shots and still below the season average from the free throw line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 We will have to see if Lamar can avoid the injury bug that has killed them the last two years, but the ability to rotate players more seems to be making a difference, even though shooting percentage isn't what you would hope for tonight. Lamar back up by one at the under 8 minute time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 At the last media timeout Lamar is up by one point 76-75 but UTSA will be at the free throw line coming out of the timeout with a chance to take back the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsGuy Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 It is clear that Hamilton, Pryor and Knight are the difference makers on this team We are definitely deeper though as others have suggested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Lamar up by four 84-80 with 1:06 left in the game and the ball coming out of a UTSA time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Brooks has been able to play some offense defense possessions down the stretch, taking Pryor out on defense as he is in foul trouble but getting him back in for the offensive possesion.

PeckEm Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 LU is having a $5 ticket promotion for this game. Hope they have a good turnout. Let us be perfectly honest, we have been so bad for so long they could offer free tickets, free beer, free food, and free travel to and from arena and we would still only draw 1,500. It is going to take a lot of wins to get people to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Finally found the box score on the Lamar website. Cards had six players in double figures tonight with Terry Anderson leading the way with 20. I think for the second time this year Lamar shot a higher percentage from beyond the arc than they did overall. Free throw percentage was a little off tonight as Lamar only shot 61% in the first half but came back to shoot 88% in the second half and especially down the stretch when UTSA was fouling to try to extend the game. Lamar won the battle of the boards outrebounding UTSA by 12. Hamilton and Anderson both had double doubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
