MBB in Conference Tourney

[geezer]

Lamar faces a tough task tonight and if they win then again tomorrow afternoon.  The Cards face Nicholls for the third time this season having won the first two.  Defeating a team that is very similar a third time is very difficult.  For the Cards a win would put them in the championship game and also be the twentieth win for the year.  Tipoff is 8:30 PM

McNeese defeats NWST 73-64 in the first semi-final game.

Seven minutes left with Nicholls up by four.  Lamar has tied the game once since the opening two minutes of the game.  Turnovers and three-point shooting by Nicholls is the difference.

Lamar finally gets their first lead with 3:35 left in the game.  The lead changes hands a couple times before Lamar gets the lead for good with forty four seconds left.  Cards win 58-55 and will face McNeese tomorrow at 4 PM on ESPN2.  Cards also get to twenty wins.

Unbelievable comeback! 20 wins for the 4th time in 40 years and it’s not over yet… let’s slay Goliath!

Lamar/McNeese round 3 for all the marbles. 

“It will be a very spirited and competitive game. There ain't no question about that."

Cards kept it close for quite a while, but McNeese pulled away to finish the game 63-54.  Assume the season is over, but I guess there is a chance for a third tier tournament.
