Scary Stats if You're Lipscomb Fan

Consider the following numbers:

Lipscomb is 0-6 in games decided by 4 points or less.

Lipscomb is 2-10 when the final score is within 3 possessions.

None of this is news. Anybody who has watched Lipscomb this year has seen them struggle in close games.

But consider this: In the six "4 or less" games this year, Lipscomb has been ahead at some point in the final 4 minutes of regulation. In four other games, the lead has changed hands at some point in the last 8 minutes.

Lipscomb's record in those games? 1-9

Ten winnable games, and Lipscomb has closed the deal exactly once. Granted, that one was at Indiana, but that may say more about the Hoosiers than the Bisons.

Yes, Lipscomb is young. Yes, they are still searching for the "go-to" guy in crunch time that Eddie Ard has been for the last 3 years.

But even if you go back to the NIT year, Lipscomb is 19-34 in games decided by single digits. And that's including the year they had Ard, Brian Fisk, and Trey Williams in the starting line-up.

Much like Mercer last year, Lipscomb should be better than this.
