The Nebraska-Kearney Lopers’ offense was too much for the Lincoln Blue Tigers to handle Saturday at Jason Gym.
The Lopers scored at least 18 points in every quarter and never trailed, running away with an 84-66 victory against the Blue Tigers in MIAA play.
The Lincoln Blue Tiger women’s basketball teams feels it had a strong base to build off of with their six returning players from last year’s roster. And the Blue Tigers went out and added three transfers and six freshmen to help complete the puzzle. Now all that’s left is to see how the pieces fit together. Lincoln will get its first opportunity to see how the pieces fit when it opens the season at 7 p.m. today against Arkansas-Monticello in the Central Region Challenge in Mongolia, Ark.
Kaleb Hammeke scored a game-high 20 points Thursday night for the Fort Hays State Tigers, the last two coming on a jumper with no time on the clock to give the Tigers a 59-57 victory against the Lincoln Blue Tigers in MIAA men’s basketball action.
Lincoln’s men’s basketball team will get another chance to avenge an early-season loss tonight when it takes on the Fort Hays State Tigers in MIAA action.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in Hays, Kan.
