Same Ole Lamar

[Guest Nederland Bandit]

I went to the Lamar game tonight and was very disappointed, Any other comments?

[AggiesAreWe]

I went too, what a waste of time. I was not impressed at all, with either team.

If Texas A&M-Kingsville can beat Lamar by 16, the Texas A&M-College Station will beat the Cardinals by 30.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: Lamar drops exhibition game to Texas A&M-Kingsville, 75-59

November 1,2006

BEAUMONT – Junior Lamar Sanders was the only Cardinals player to score in double-figures as Lamar University lost 75-59 to visiting Texas A&M-Kingsville Wednesday night in a men’s basketball action game at the Montagne Center.

Lamar will close out its exhibition schedule Tuesday when Central Oklahoma visits the Montagne Center for a 7:05 p.m. tip. The Cardinals open the regular season Nov. 11 at home against Texas Southern.

After spotting TAMU-Kingsville a 10-1 lead, Lamar rallied to tie the game at 12-12 on a tip-in by Durand Murray and a made free throw by Stephen Musa at 11:44 of the first half. Murray’s jumper at 11:17 gave the Cardinals their first lead of the night.

Rickey Huckaby answered with a three-pointer. A pair of free throws by Musa reclaimed the lead for Lamar and consecutive jumpers by Brandon Chappell and Lawrence Nwevo gave the Cardinals their biggest lead of the night at 20-16 with 8:06 remaining in the first half.

The Javelinas responded with a 14-4 run to take a 30-24 lead on a Reggie Love 3-pointer at 4:11. Trailing by seven, 32-25, Lamar closed the gap on a pair of free throws by Ray Sansom and a 3-pointer by Matthew Barrow to trim TAMU-Kingsville’s lead to 32-30 at intermission.

Lamar opened the second half by missing its first nine shots from the field and watched as the Javelinas extended their lead to 13 points, 43-30, with an 11-0 run over the first 5:32. Barrow’s two free throws at 14:16 broke the drought for the Cardinals, but it was too little, too late.

Sanders scored 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting from the field to pace the Cardinals. Murray provided a spark of the bench with nine points, five rebounds and two assists. Barrow also added nine points off the bench.

Lamar shot 37.3 percent (19-of-51) from the field, 20 percent (3-of-15) from 3-point range and 56.3 percent (18-of-32) from the free throw line. The Cardinals forced 21 turnovers, but committed 22, which led to a 29 to 16 advantage in points off turnovers for TAMU-Kingsville.
