NACOGDOCHES, Texas- The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks men's basketball team (9-12, 2-8) close out their three-game homestand Saturday afternoon against the visiting Lamar University Cardinals (12-9, 7-3).
Lumberjacks at a Glance:
The Lumberjacks will look to use the momentum and confidence from their last game in their homestand finale against the Cardinals. SFA grabbed their second conference win of the season defeating the visiting East Texas A&M Lions, 79-72 on Monday night at the Sawmill. The Lumberjacks posted their fourth highest point total of the season vs. East Texas A&M in the win and snapped a four game overall and home losing streak. The offense came from a variety of players as four different Lumberjacks posted double-digit point totals in the win. The win marked the sixth home win of the season.
Cardinals at a Glance:
The Lamar University Cardinals will also be looking to keep their momentum rolling as they will be carrying a three-game win streak into Nacogdoches on Saturday afternoon. During the course of the win streak, the Cardinals have posted a road win over Nicholls State before consecutive home wins against East Texas A&M and Northwestern State. The Cardinals will now open up a mini two-game road trip against SFA on Saturday before closing out the road trip on Monday in Hammond, Louisiana against Southeastern Louisiana as they look to improve their 5-4 road record this year.
Scouting Report-Lumberjacks:
A flurry of Lumberjacks got into the scoring action in their win against East Texas A&M as four different Lumberjacks recorded double-digit point scoring efforts in the home win on Monday evening. Matt Hayman has been the definition of consistency for SFA over the last month as he posted his sixth straight game with double-digit points with a team-leading 21 points against the Lions and has posted double-digit point scoring efforts in 10 of his last 11 games. Keon Thompson stuffed the stat sheet against the Lions, posting his first double-double as a Lumberjack with a 17-points, 10-assists, six-rebounds, and three-steals against East Texas A&M. Nana Antwi-Boasiako and Keith Lamar were both efficient with their shots as they recorded 12 and 11 points respectively off the bench. Antwi-Boasiako tacked on a team-high seven rebounds in just 19 minutes, while Lamar helped spark SFA's offense to a season-high 12 three-pointers with a pair of triples of his own in 17 minutes.
Scouting Report-Cardinals
Alexis Marmolejos helps lead a three-way scoring effort for the Cardinals offense with his 15.4 points per game as he is always a threat to pull up from beyond the arc as evidenced by his 52 three-point field goals this year. Ja'Sean Jackson has been a solid contributor on both ends of the court for Lamar. He has dished out a team-high 84 assists, while also leading the defensive effort with 32 steals, all while also averaging 11.8 points per game offensively. Andrew Holifield rounds out the Cardinals offense with his 10.6 points per game, while pulling down 125 boards and blocking a squad high 39 shots this year.
Series:
Saturday afternoon's conference matchup will continue this historic rivalry between these two iconic Southland Conference foes as it will feature the 72nd all-time meeting between these two schools. SFA leads the all-time series 41-30 and have won the previous three meetings over the Cardinals including the most recent one just over two weeks ago when they claimed their first conference win of the season with a 72-63 road win over Lamar.
