Two of 4 losses were to Virginia and #8 Tennessee.
Once again the Lions have a size advantage but we have tons of trouble finishing at the hoop. The Texans have a respectable team and should give the Lions a challenging game, especially in light of our recent erratic play.

Gametime: Friday, Dec 29, 7 pm in Gersten.

Lions are favored by 6.5

[thx4leavinjimlynam]

Alex is hurt. Ugh.

[thebluff]

Let’s take care of business Lions! 13-4 start. Two early threes from Harris! Kids got range.

[thx4leavinjimlynam]

I know we have to use a time out in the first half or we lose it, but calling time out five seconds before the next media time can happen is just shortsighted.

It matters more early in the second half, but he does it quite a bit.

[thx4leavinjimlynam]

Wow and now he has to use a timeout that is warranted, but because we already wasted a time out that wasn’t necessary, we only have two for the second half.

[LIONS90045]

Great start, weak finish
Texans know how to win games so I’m nervous

[nbdlion22]

Typical. Undisciplined streetball. Coach csj sucks

[thx4leavinjimlynam]

I actually thought we looked decent on offense, we actually did some back cuts, we’re moving well without the ball. Shots just need to fall.

Harris scored six points in the first two minutes and only finished for 10. Two of those came on his own offensive rebound. We need to get him more looks.

[LIONS90045]

6 minutes into the second half, the Texans are 6 for 6 from the field!

[thx4leavinjimlynam]

We are missing Alex‘s energy and skill. We’ve had a few other games like this and he’s really picked us up in the second half. Hopefully someone else will step up tonight, down by seven with 11 minutes left.

[LIONS90045]

Terrible game. Drew Viney said it all when he observed “we can’t just keep dribbling the ball around,” which pretty much describes our offense.
It’ll be a long season and major disappointment after all the hype

[nbdlion22]

COMPLETE JOKE OF A TEAM. WHAT A WASTE OF PAYROLL ON THIS SO
CALLED “COACHING STAFF”

[golions]

No leaders amongst this group of players. Hate to say it, but this will be a long season for us.

[boothlion]

Tough loss.

17% from 3point range; our lowest of the season.

Lars has massively regressed since the start of the season. 20 mins and 2 rebounds. Should have played more Big Rick and Michael Graham. Thankfully going into conference play Keli is looking more and more like himself. Thx is correct we missed Alex this game. I didn’t catch what his injury was?
