[Guest coachacola]

Like a broken record, LU is losing early in the game 21-12.

update?

Lamar 79 - 75 late in 2nd half...

[bullets13]

must be playing at home.

[tyree]

Overtime...Nabors fouled out...

[tyree]

Not a happy ending........

[UNLV]

Lamar really choked this game away. The Turnover Show and miss free throw sidekick.

These players play like they never played basketball before.

[Lazeek]

This loss at home will come back to haunt them for getting into the conference tourney!!!!

Man that was a disappointing game... Great Crowd.. Nabors had the best dunk i have ever seen at the montagne.... A reverse alley oop.

[LU4LIFE]

Yea that was a nasty dunk and the best crowd of the season but in the end they did what they do best which is blow a lead due to turnovers and poor free throws shooting.

[Lazeek]

How many fans???  I could not make it!!!!!

[LU4LIFE]

They said that it was close to 4000 but i don't think they count all the members of the frats and soroities that were there. I think that it was closer to 5000 but that is just...... it was a pretty good crowd.

[LUFAN]

I agree there were about 5k there.. It was by far the best crowd we have had since the Tech game last year.... Man I just do not get why we stayed in the zone when we kept getting burned... Those were also the worst refs I have seen in a very very long time...

[LU4LIFE]

Yea it seems like the last few games the refs have been horrible.

Darn, Zeek.  You're always good for 4 to 6 points.  Cards could have won in regulation with you in your seat! 8)

What is that?  Did he catch the ball with his back to the basket and then put it away over his head?  Is so, WOW :o

[LUFAN]

That was pretty much what happened if it had been on film it would have made sportscenter top 10.... It was a no look lob pass then Nabors finished...  I am just saying it was SICK!... I would have traded it for a W though.

[whsalum]

A loss to a very average Texas State club at home is not a good omen for the cards.They will be home come tourney time. :( :(

[AggiesAreWe]

I was in attendance last night ( season ticket holder but that was just the 3rd game I have seen this year :-[). The alley oop dunk was one of the best I have ever seen. I agree, it would be a top 10 on ESPN.

Lamar just can't handle the ball under pressure. Way too many turnovers.

But my biggest pet peave is with Custer. That guy is weak underneath. He can't power anything to the rim. He constantly is getting the ball knocked from his hands or he is fumbling it himself while trying to go to the rim with it. Pathetic!

[lu cards]

best dunk ive ever seen in person!!!

[Guest coachacola]

It seems as the offense gets better the defense gets worse.  Now they'll have to win 2 or 3 road games just to make the SLC tourney.  Looks like Newvo joined Nabors with a double-double, too bad it was wasted in a loss.  How many games now have they had a double-digit lead in the second half only to see them throw it away?  And what's the deal with the TOs?  Are they forced or do they just get sloppy?

[geezer]

IMO the turnovers late in the game are a result of the guards deciding to play individual ball rather than running the offense.  Both Miles and Harris hzve tendencies to drive into traps and loose the ball.  When Lamar gets a lead one of two things happen, Roc spreads the floor and relys on Miles or Harris to drive and shoot a prayer, the intensity on defense falls or both.

[Guest mffl]

The guys were tired... Roc used 3 subs!! Stan Brown and Donley Minor only played sparingly also.
