You're right.  We expect a different margin in points... Same result, though.

Jags 50 Bulldogs -46

Im here, guys.  I ran out of phone juice at the game.  The game was never in doubt.  Central was the better team and it showed.  We did a great job of denying their bigs.  LC-M'S guard play is the worst ive seen any team this year.  We caused many turnovers with the pressure.  The score could havw been worst but we called the pressure off. Now tuesday will present a different problem.  Nederland' bigs are good and they have guards that are not scared to let the bombs fly.  They'll try to stretch our defense and slow the game down.  Im interested to see how it goes.

Congrads, Bulldogs!

[quote name="Cheermom4" post="1155425" timestamp="1325875700"] It wouldn't be the same for either team if it was played at Lamar.  Nothing like playing at the Reservation or going over to Nederland.  It is all about the atmosphere. [/quote]Y'all fail to hear what I'm saying.  Wouldn't a better atmosphere be if you can get more of  your fans in the stadium?  LU provides that.  LU also provides better parking.  Would that not be a better atmosphere?

The stadiums are close so the fanatics will not have to travel far. The only difference I can see is one have grass and one have turf. 

Not sure about us either.  I do know that we were extremely young and should have some decent players on the field next year.

[/quote] Helps your chances, but I think Colton Weisbrod gives Nederland plenty of inside scoring.. It does help that all starting 5 players can beat you from behind the arc, tough to defend [/quote]You're right about that.  but it will get very interesting if the Nederland shooters go cold.

[/quote]There is a problem with that.  We're not Ozen.  We've beaten them 3 times already.  We've even beaten them without the services of our best player.  So, you think you will come into Central's gym and leave with a W based on the fact that you lost to Ozen? [/quote]  YES [/quote]I'm still waiting on your analysis on the Orangefield/Big Sandy game.  I figured you would be thrilled to talk about that one...  Unless you've jumped ship already. [/quote] Back on topic please. [/quote]Any chance at all LCM might luck up and win? [/quote]Yes, there is a chance.  Our coaches generally don't make in game adjustments.  If the other team makes a run, it is usually in between quarters.  We don't call timeouts to make adjustments.  We normally come out after halftime or at the end of quarters with changes and adjustments.  I just hope that we are not down by double digits before we adjust to LC-M. 

[quote name="dogs1218" post="1155372" timestamp="1325872926"] Central wins by 10+ points, unless LCM can find ways to K-smith off his game, and limit the number of shots at the rim.. then It could be a good game to watch.. LCM also needs to value the basketball and make sure they keep turnovers down and take "their" shots.. No shot clock, so no need to hurry ;) Hey Soulja, that sound reasonable? :D [/quote]Yes, that sounds like a good game plan for the Bears.  Slow it down and use your size, withstand the pressure when Central pressures, and whatever you do, don't get into a track meet with Central.

Hopefully, not a certain group of coaches. 

[quote name="bigdog" post="1155368" timestamp="1325872652"] There is usually 13k or so at either site now.  I agree about the parking, it stinks.  I just don't think that either team will give up "homefield advantage" for this game. [/quote]Both stadiums are literally 'around the corner' from each other.  So, is this REALLY homefield advantage?

PEOPLE and the TEAMS make the atmosphere, not the venue.  I think it would be a good idea if it was held at LU.  The same Indian and Bulldog fans would be in attendence.  I'm not buying that atmosphere stuff on this one.  More parking and bigger venue means more fans to pack the stands.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1155198" timestamp="1325857142"] If I was coaching LCM, I'd see if Central could handle us inside. See how tough they are down low. [/quote]And if I were Centra's coach, I would see if you could run with us and see if their guards can handle pressure for 32 minutes.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1155190" timestamp="1325855515"] Game at Central.........I will take The Jags 51-45 [/quote]What will the dunk count be?  ;D

8)  Well, I need to win as well. 

Live by the 3 and due by the 3, huh?

AAW's score sounds about right.  Livingston?  Keep #14 Collins in front of you.  He won't shoot but his first step is deadly and he is athletic enough to finish at the cup.  Keep a man on him.  #3 is a deadeye 3 point shooter.  Keep a hand in his face.  Other than that, they don't really have anything else.

Lamr's Stadium holds well over the 15,000 as advertised.  Before the upgrade to the stadium, it held 17K.  I think it would be a great idea. Lamar has great parking.  And for the crowds that MCM brings, Nederland and PN-G's parking sucks.  Lamar arguably has the best parking in southeast texas.  Well, them and PA Memorial's stadium.

Jags by 13.

Who  takes it?

[quote name="PoppaBearstarr" post="1154855" timestamp="1325789732"] I do too, it is always a great game...just wish it wasn't the first one of the day... [/quote]I agree, but you know the host team always gets the preference of a later game.  ;)

Aw dang!  I was looking forward to that!  ;D ;D
