LSC BASKETBALL
West Texas A&M took sole possession of first place in the women’s standings with Lone Star Conference wins
over Midwestern State and Cameron last week. The Lady Buffs have won 11 straight games.
Angelo State tops the men’s standings despite its first LSC setback to Tarleton State last week.
This week’s schedule includes eight LSC contests for the men, and 10 on the women’s side.
The LSC men have a 122-70 overall record so far this season. In the NCAA South Central Region, the men’s
teams are currently 13-6 combined versus Heartland Conference teams and 8-7 against the Rocky Mountain
Athletic Conference.
The LSC women are 107-96 overall. The women’s squads are currently 13-17 combined against the
Heartland, and 6-3 versus RMAC teams, which are the other conferences in the NCAA South Central Region.
The LSC champion will be the regular season winner determined by league games, while the postseason
tournament winner is designated as LSC Tournament Champion and earns the conference’s automatic
qualification. The top eight teams in the final conference standings qualify for the postseason tournament set
for March 4-7 in Allen, Texas.
PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

MEN’S DEFENSIVE

Ebomwonyi put on a defensive showcase from the guard position as the true freshman lifted No. 11 Tarleton
State to its ninth straight win last week, including a victory over No. 4 Angelo State Wednesday night in
Stephenville. In addition to grabbing a team-high seven rebounds against the Rams, Ebomwonyi stepped up
when it counted by locking down the Rams’ leading scorer over the final six minutes of Wednesday’s win. Over
the final six minutes, Ebomwonyi kept the top-scoring Ram from adding any more points down the stretch. The
freshman led the team with 11 total rebounds for the week, including nine on the defensive glass, to go along
with two assists and 10 total points. As a team, Ebonwonyi and the Tarleton defense held its two opponents
to a combined .368 shooting percentage and 69.0 points per game – including a defensive effort on No. 4

State as he led Tarleton over Angelo State in the first win against a top-5 ranked team in Wisdom Gym since
defeating Northeastern State in 2003. Reed scored 12 of Tarleton’s first 14 points against the Rams to put the
Texans on top from the get-go as Tarleton never looked back en route to the win over the Rams. In two wins

Abigail Leaupepe-Tele, Texas A&M University - Commerce, had an extremely effective week with very
little playing time in which to work as the Lions won both of their games this week. Logging only 16 and 18
minutes against Texas A&M-Kingsville and Angelo State, respectively, the senior forward averaged 7.5 points,
6.5 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1.5 steals. Leaupepe-Tele was part of an effort that limited the Javelinas to 5 of 35

game in victories over Angelo State and Texas A&M-Kingsville. For the week, she also scored 12 points with two
assists and two steals.

Cameron
1-1 last week.
Eastern New Mexico
The Eastern New Mexico men’s basketball team
fell to Midwestern State and Cameron this week,
falling to 0-11 in the Lone Star Conference. Against
Cameron Eastern came out slow to start the first half,
but managed to survive a 19-to-11 run by the Aggies
and hold a two point lead going into the half, 28-
26. After an intense back and forth second half, the
Greyhounds found themselves holding a two point
lead with 5:45 left in the game. Both teams started to
struggle shooting from the floor after that, but after
several unfortunate turnovers by Eastern, Cameron
started to build a lead and with too little time on the
clock, the Aggies would take the game in the closing
minutes, 55-47. Eastern struggled from behind the
arc, going 3-for-21 from deep. While the Aggies
only went 3-of-9 on three pointers, their 45 percent
shooting from the floor, compared to the Greyhounds
32.1 percent, ended up being the deciding factor.
Against Midwestern the Greyhounds again struggled
from behind the arc, shooting only 16.7 percent
from deep and 30.4 percent from the field, while the
Mustangs shot a blistering 45 percent from the three
point line as a team. At the seven minute mark in the
first half, the Greyhounds found themselves down by
23 points to the Mustangs. Despite what seemed to
be a lost cause, Eastern showed just how tough they
are by cutting Midwestern’s lead in half in the closing
minutes of the first period. Lawrence Domingo caught
fire, scoring nine of the Greyhounds 12 points during
a 12-0 run to bring the Mustangs lead back to 11
points. Unfortunately, Midwestern wasn’t finished in
the first and managed to add another seven points
before heading into the locker room at halftime, up
36-19. The second half saw much of the same, with
Midwestern coming out scoring at will. Then once
again the Greyhounds came surging back, finishing
the half only being outscored 28-23. Eastern did
manage to hold the Mustangs to 64 points, 10 lower
than their season average of 74.9 pointers per game.
For the week Eastern shot .313 percent (7-45) from
three point range compared to their opponents .467
percent (12-29). John Gilliam led the Greyhounds
with a combined 28 points and Domingo added 22
over the two games.
