ForeverADog Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Lamar has a good chance. If they can get out in transition by rebounding and forcing turnovers they will win. I would like to see them use that attacking zone that the used against Texas some. They forced a lot of turnovers. Got to give them a different look sometimes. Lamar runs by 8.

bigred360 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Rice runs the Princeton Offense as does Nicholls State and it gives teams a hard time defending. I stated I'll wait until the 12 game to start predicting scores and giving my opinion of the team so they still have a few more game before then. Go Cards.

[/quote]Watching Coy Custer the other night made me think that he would fit in pretty well in a Princeton-style offense. As for the game, Rice is better than last year so it should be a close game. I'll be disappointed if Lamar loses this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mffl Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 It should be a boring game to watch... I don't enjoy watching the Princeton offense. If Rice makes their shots, it could be a long game for us, but I still expect us to come out with a W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I think the outcome hinges on three factors. 1. Can Lamar get ahead early? 2. How good is Rice defense, it stayed within three of Texas? 3. Quality of coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGREDFAN2 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Thanks for the education. I had not heard of Princeton offense, but I don't pretend to know much about basketball. I recongnize some defenses and thats about it. I found this on Youtube along with many others on the subject.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrH0jl8tB70It is a constant motion offense, nobody stands around.

The few teams that run it seem to have a better chance of hanging with the big boys. We have virtually no half court offense. We just try to beat or defender off the dribble.

bigred360 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Just got back from the game and as hard as it is I'll reframe from making any comments. I think the half-time score and who Coach Roc played at the end of the game says it all. ::)Didn't Mike James basiclly win the game with 5 pts in the final two minutes versus UTPA? This game appeared to be the same type of situation and James is sitting on the bench?Just a couple of questions I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badndn Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Yea after the UT game and the first half of this game, I thought LU had figured out how to play some defense. I actually thought, WOW, this could be the start of something great...Then we came out the second half and needed the Hymlic!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddin tane Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 [b]Roc is a joke[/b]....did they make any shots outside of 3'? never saw an outside shot go in against Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Both teams shot just under 50% from the field, but Lamar was 9 of 18 from behind the arc. The stats were about even except Rice out-rebounded Lamar and shot and made a lot more FT's than Lamar. The foul shots were the difference in the game.Rice was favored to win this game. Pomeroy even had Lamar losing by 14, so losing by 2 isn't that big of a surprise. Lamar doesn't have much of an inside game so that are going to be out-rebounded and give up easy shots inside. The Canisius game coming up should be interesting since they go 7-3 and 6-9 inside.I still think this year will be like 2008. Lamar started that year 3-6, and those 3 wins were against non-D1 opponents. That year Roc brought in newcomers Jay Brown, Justin Nabors, Kenny Dawkins and Brandon McThay. They weren't any good defensively and it took them some time to jell, but they went on a tear offensively and won a lot of games. But the one big difference is that Roc had some good inside guys with Sanders, Nabors and Brown.I think this team will get better and start winning games but they won't be great by any stretch of the imagination. Roc may even win enough to save his job. But this is his 5th year and he should be consistently winning 20+ games a year. I don't see that ever happening with Roc.

Then give up 48 pts in the second half. What happened to the defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJWooten Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Roc can obviously coach, since you guys have a high power-high scoring team. However, defense is key in the SLC, and once you get to go against SFA/SHSU/UTSA, it'll be a different story. However, you guys should drop 100 on TSU-SM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
