Thompson Brings National Buzz
Senior guard Lamarquis Thompson put ENMU in the national spotlight with his buzzer-beating three against 16^th-ranked Fort Lewis last weekend. Trailing 72-70, junior guard Maurice Coleman brought the ball up the court with time ticking down. After cutting off a screen from Arcaim Lallemand, Coleman dished the ball out to Thompson on the wing. With two defenders on him, Thompson hurled up a turnaround three as time expired. The heave found its mark, giving the Green and Silver their second top-20 win under Head Coach Tres Segler. The Houston product leads the team with 18.0 points/game and 9.0 rebounds/game.
 
Arcaim "The Dream"
Junior forward Arcaim Lallemand is coming off an impressive performance against New Mexico Highlands on Sunday. The Naples, Fla., native put up 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting, including going 5-for-5 from the charity stripe while grabbing nine boards in the winning effort. Lallemand ranks third on the team, averaging 10.0 points/game and is second with 7.5 boards/game.
