Conference game two.  UTRGV joins the SLC and brings another competitive program. RGV currently sitting at five and three with a conference win over SFA.  Overall, their non-conference schedule looks tougher than Lamar's so this should be a tough game.

Lamar plays an outstanding first half despite both Hamilton and Bulajic sitting most of the half with two fouls each.  Hamilton played a total of six minutes and Bulajic played four.  Lamar is up 46-23 at the half.

Marmolejos leads the Cards with ten points followed by nine each from both Jackson and Holyfield.  Holyfield also leads Lamar in rebounding with five.  Cards are shooting 55% compared to 30% for UTRGV and Lamar is taking care of the ball with only five turnovers.

When I saw Corpus and UTRGV back to back I didn’t give us much of a chance considering how both had played.  If LU can close it out here and get 2 wins I’ll be impressed.

Maybe not quite as good of second half as the first, but nothing to complain about as Lamar wins 84-52.

Cards shot 57.8% from the field including 46.2 from the three-point line.  Lamar had more assists than turnovers and won the battle of the boards by six.  Really no area that Lamar didn't play a good game in today.  If I am looking for something to criticize at all it would be that White needs to be a little more aggressive on offense.  He seems to look more to give up the ball than score, which when the opponent recognizes that has a tendency to lead to a turnover.  Four players in double figures for Lamar.

What a win!!

Still need all conference teams upping their schedules and winning against D-1 competition.
