Both the men and women play Big 12 opponents this evening.  Women play at Kansas St with a 6:30 tip off and the men are at TCU for a 7:00 PM contest.  Both are underdogs going into the contests.  KSU was a top twenty women's squad last year so this should be a big challenge for the ladies.  TCU was down last year and are 1-1 so far with a loss to fellow SLC member New Orleans.

Ladies have a solid opening quarter, playing to a 20-20 tie.  Ladies had eight total fouls and three turnovers in the quarter.

TCU jumps out to the early lead on hot shooting, making five of their first six shots including 3-3 from three-point range.  13-6 at the first media time out.

Cards force a couple of turnovers and TCU misses a shot to take the lead 16-15 with 12:25 left in the first half.

The size and talent difference between mid-major and power four women's teams takes over in the second quarter as K-State moves out to a 48-32 half time lead.

At the under eight minute timeout Lamar has a four-point lead over TCU 24-20.  Cards are playing solid defense.

Game tied 31-31 at the under four-minute time out.  Holifield on the bench with two fouls.

TCU comes back over the last three minutes to take a one-point lead into the half.  39-38 TCU

K-State out scores Lamar by four in the third quarter to extend their lead to twenty points. 66-46

Ladies fall by 28, K-State 89 - Lamar 61.

11:53 left to play in men's game and Lamar is leading 55-52.

Took Lee out of the game and our offense has sputtered. Down 6 with TCU heading to the line with just over 6 minutes to play

Lamar offense goes stagnant allowing TCU to move out to a 64-58 lead and the ball with 6:32 left in the game.  Lamar's big men are in foul trouble with Ezewiro out with five fouls and East on the bench with four.

Men fall 78-65 at TCU.  Inexperience and lack of production from the inside players allowed TCU to put a lot of defensive pressure on the Lamar guards.  Rob Lee led the Cards with 26 points but most of those were in the first half.  Barrs was the only other Cardinal in double figures with 14 points.  A combination of rebounds and free throws was the biggest difference in the game in my opinion.

In the ladies game Hill took a hard fall towards the end of the first quarter and never returned.  That put Lamar at a disadvantage in the post area that K-State was able to exploit.  Lamar's freshman Foreman scored 19 to lead the Cards in scoring.
