clarkwgriswold Posted Monday at 04:22 PM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 04:22 PM Alabama State opened with LSU and UNLV, losing 71-64 to the Tigers and 93-79 to the Rebels. They have a get well game against Virginia-Lynchburg tonight. Lamar is 1-2 having beaten Paul Quinn College (113-42) while losing to Texas A & M (97-71) and Sam Houston (85-72). They do not play again before coming to Akron. Nebraska-Omaha is 2-3 thus far with wins over Mid-America Christian (85-69) and Stetson (79-76) and losses to Minnesota (68-64), UNLV (80-79) and Southern Utah (79-73).

The field may prove to be better than anticipated. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted Monday at 05:18 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:18 PM I never heard of any of these teams and really was not looking forward to these games but those scores are much better than our score against St. Mary. This might be an interesting weekend. I hope we rebound better than last week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewbrooman1 Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Not an appealing lineup to me either, but shouldn't they have some all tournament pass ticket package? Or did I miss it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
