Guest coachacola Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 16-14 LU, 8 minutes in half.
Guest mffl Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Horrible shooting for both teams... now its 19-14. Rice sucks, we should beat them.
woodman Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Friend at the game says he don't see 27 mil. worth of improvements other than scoreboard. Also said it was $18 for side court tickets.
Guest coachacola Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Jay Brown has 7 points and 11 rebounds. Dawkins started slow but he's heating up.
Guest coachacola Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 31-23 LU at half. Custer made layup with 1 second left.
Guest mffl Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 31-23 LU up at half. Jay Brown has 10 points 11 boards, and he's not even shooting that great. We could be stomping them right now so I'd like to see that happen but I would love to take the win. Lets build on this lead in the 2nd half.
Guest abovetherim Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Need a good 2nd half by the Cardinals and we'll have a great shot at 5-0.
Guest coachacola Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 39-31 LU, 13:34 left in game. Not a pretty game to watch.
Guest mffl Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 54-41 LU on top, about 8 min left. Brown has 18 points 16 rebounds. He's turned it on beast mode tonight... sounds like Skye Williams is having a good game too.
Guest coachacola Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 I think we'll see more games like this from Brown. LU has a nice lead even though they haven't played that well.
Guest mffl Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Add the fact that Rice is shooting like 1-12 of something horrible from the FT line.. oh yeah up by fifteen 56-41 with 4 min. left.
Guest coachacola Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 23 seconds left, 8 point lead for LU.
Guest mffl Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 61-53 final. Jay Brown has 22 points and 18 rebounds... shot horribly but the outcome really wasn't in doubt the last few minutes of the game. We went up by as many as 15 in this game.
BLUEDOVE3 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Rice has a lot of work to finish. T
Guest abovetherim Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 They'll be good in a few years.
LUFAN Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Here is some info from the game... I do not see how they spent 23 million on the TUDOR Fieldhouse... They had a nice video board but a horrible horrible sound system. The refs were horrible, they caused the game to stay out of rhythm and that kept the score much closer that it would have been. BROWN was the MAN tonight... Custer still looks scared out there....Worrell was tough this game as usual.... The biggest problem is we could not break the press at the end of the game...We had a ton of turnovers at the end.. All in all a good win at a tough place to play... they may not have many fans that show up but they way the gym is set up it is very very loud.
Guest coachacola Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 I watched the whole game on the internet. Dawkins seemed out of synch and he did end up with 6 TOs. Skyler Williams is playing better, but the team really is thin at the guard position. Custer is playing better but the team needs Nwevo to provide a good 10 or 15 minutes of backup for Worrell and Brown, especially if one of those guys gets in foul trouble. When is Hall going to find his offense? He always seems on the verge of a breakout game. I thought rebounding would be a problem for this team but that's been a strong point so far. They need Nwevo and Harper back soon, Williams and Hall need to keep improving, and no one else needs to get hurt. They'll stumble on the coming road trip to Kentucky and Lousiville, but they should be in great shape come conference time.
BLUEDOVE3 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 Like many schools do, the early part of the season is to establish some groundwork with your team. And you do this by playing a watered down schedule. In my own personal humble opinion, LU has not been tested at this date.
weslinder Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 1. Lamar played pretty badly and were lucky to escape with a win. 2. Brown and Worrell played tough and saved the team. 3. Lamar played the zone better than they have all season. 4. The high-low offense that Lamar ran during the first 10 minutes of the second half was really efficient and worked well. 5. Rice is a more athletic team than Denver and well-coached, but they're still not very good. 6. Rice should investigate whoever remodeled their court, because they must have taken half their money. It's not bad, but for the same money they could have built the Merrell Center from scratch. It's not nearly as nice as the Merrell Center. It is loud and if Rice ever puts a decent team on the floor, it'll be a fun place to watch a game. 7. For a team of Rice's quality, the tickets definitely shouldn't be $18.
lu cards Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 lamar was flat last night.seemed to be looking ahead to kentucky.i agree with what others here are saying.we need harper and nwevo back,custer isnt gonna get the job done.we also are gonna need hall to establish himself as a dependable scorer.im starting to wonder if thats going to happen.overall it was a good trip and liked the new gym.i didnt see where they spend 23mil but it was an improvement.
