LU does not know how to win.  I like Mike James but when you are up by one point with under two minutes you don't take a quick a shot unless it is a layup.

[ForeverADog]

87 to 87 7 seconds left!

[geezer]

Make free throws you win.

[ForeverADog]

Tip in at the buzzer on a missed jumper. SELA wins 89 to 87!

LU Chokes off another 11 point win!!!!!!!  FIRE ROC NOW!!!!!!!!

[geezer]

Glad I didn't make it to the game,  bad enough having to listen to the end of another loss that should have been a win.

[Gtj007]

Lamar loses on put back at the buzzer.  I think losing 3 in a row in the Southland says it all about the state of the Lamar mens basketball program!

[Lazeek]

Anxious to hear PNGTigers response!!!!!

[jdcurran]

agreed (about the state of LU BB)

Tough Loss no doubt. Cant miss 9 free throws and win. SELA is a pretty decent team. That being said Lamar has to win these games and havent figured out how to yet. Theres lots a blame to go around. I dont know how you coach guys to make free throws. You either make them or dont. Thats 2 games that i know of that were lost because of free throws. Sure there have been more . Theres other problems as well. Cant sugar coat it. Its not good.

Good assessment..........notice you did not lay any blame on Coach ROC!!!!!

How do two of your better players only play 16 minutes (James) and 13 minutes (Davis)????

[geezer]

It's easy, call it Roc's dog house of the moment.  How many times this year has a player played a good first half and virtually gets no playing time the other half.

Haven't seen Lamar this year, do they have the players to compete?

I think they have good enough players to win in what looks to be a down SLC.

You can teach form. It's all about repetition.
