this was a non-stop heart pounding game from the tip. this was probably our hardest test this year so far. lubbock came out prepared and ready to play on yesterday afternoon. just about the whole first half both teams kept trading baskets and there wasnt many defensive stops at all in the first half. the hillcat men went into halftime trailing lubbock 45-40. we kept our heads and stayed together because we knew what we had to do as a team. we knew where we fail short in the first half and what we slacked on and prepared mentally to do what we needed to do in the second half. the start of the second half wasnt how we expected it to be. instead of fighting back we saw ourself digging an even bigger hole and was down by 11 points halfway through the second half. through adversity true character presents itself!!!!! and thats just what happened! the hillcat men's true character presented itself and we dug deep and came together more than ever and we fought our way back into the game and tied the score with less than 5 minutes left. we played very tough defense and had very encouraging help from our bench and our fans. and at the end of the game the hillcat men came out on top winning the game 85-79. lubbock scored 79 points, the most points that have been scored on the hillcat men all season. next game is next saturday vs. john brown and we would like to see even more fans come out and show the hillcat emn some love as we continue a historic season! we love all our fans and we thank you for showing your support.
