Lamar outscores Northern Colorado 17-5 in the third quarter to take a 36-25 lead on good defense holding NC scoreless through about the first seven minutes.
Lady Cards appeared surprised by NC's height and full court press to begin the game falling behind 9-0 before scoring and slowly coming back to a one point deficit at the end of the first quarter 11-10 and then played even in the second quarter to still trail by one, 20-19 at the half.
Disgusting first half for Lamar. Down twenty-seven points at the half, 49-22. Shooting 29% compared to 48% for Tech, out rebounded by seven, twice the number of turnovers as Tech, did not shoot a free throw.
Lamar continued to slide until getting behind by nineteen with 9:05 remaining in the half. Turnovers and poor shooting are hurting the Cards. Tech has two bigs out today.
I don't have a problem with an extension but I think there are other ways to support and show appreciation for what a coach does. Give me a Tommy Lasorda who worked on one-year contracts with the Dodgers for well over a decade. MLB is definitely not loyal to managers in general.
Hate to hear that about Knight but that answers why we haven't seen him the last few games. Is there a chance Gambrel will make it back this year or is he using it as a redshirt? Also, it would be nice if the program gave these updates.
With a five-game winning streak, the Cards will travel to Lubbock Saturday for a noon contest with the Red Raiders. Their top four scorers are all transfers. Size wise it looks like the Cards match up reasonably well. It should be a very tough game for Lamar, but a win looks possible. It will take a supreme effort from every player.
Southern Miss went on a run with about seven minutes left in the half to take a five point lead but then Lamar returned the favor closing out the half on a run to retake the lead by five at the half. Lamar 36 - SM 31.
Through the first eight minutes of play Lamar is up 16-11. Lamar has more turnovers than you would like to see, but they have also forced five fouls on Southern Miss.
A loss is never really good, but I would say the ladies played a good game. Davis may struggle just a little when the opposing team's post player is taller than she is, but how often will that happen in conference? Weems had a good game scoring wise.
