Men’s basketball won Tuesday night in an exhibition matchup against Lubbock Christian University (LCU) 67-63.

The win did not come easy, as there were many lead changes and a tied up score at halftime. LCU started the scoring spree after a second foul shot attempt at 19:44 in the first half after ULM was called for a foul.

Fred Brown took back the lead right after a timeout with a huge three point shot. At 8:10 in the first however, LCU jumped out to one of its biggest leads at 20-14 as ULM committed many fouls in a short time span giving LCU many scoring chances.

LCU also scored many of their points the hard way coming from the paint and second effort attempts. After a few minutes, the Warhawks locked up better on defense and the rebounding became much better.

They limited LCU from scoring under the basket or from flashing through the lane with layups.

ULM also struggled in the first part of the second half on the foul line and couldn’t take advantage of free points.

That changed toward the middle of the half however and ULM began to match up with LCU and go score-forscore with them.

Fabio Ribeiro made clutch shots from the foul line and ULM finally pulled away.

Coach Richard did not comment after the game because it was an exhibition match.
