Lamar versus McNeese 2026 Basketball round two

[geezer]

Ladies tipped off at three PM and McNeese is out to a strong start forcing many turnovers leading 41-19 at the half.  The only stat Lamar is leading in is rebounds.

[geezer]

I didn't remember hearing that McNeese had hired the Southeastern La. head coach away from Southeastern.  There must be some money being put up in Lake Chuck.  Also, she brought several of her players from SLU with her.  Explains the big turnaround from the past years.

[geezer]

Lamar cuts the McNeese lead in half during the third quarter.  Now down by eleven. 49-38

[geezer]

Ladies unable to close the gap in the fourth quarter and fall 64-52.  Lamar shoots a miserable 1-18 from the three-point line.

[geezer]

Men's game is close through almost all of the first half but McNeese gets the last seven points of the half including a half-court shot at the end of the half to take an eight-point lead into the half 31.23.  Lamar shooting a poor 26% from the field.

[geezer]

Lamar has chipped away at the deficit and with 7:55 left in the game have a three-point lead 47-44.  McNeese will be shooting free throws coming out of the timeout.

[geezer]

2:06 left and McNeese has a four-point lead 57-53.  Lamar has the ball.

[geezer]

Cards fall by one point 64-63.
