Lamar is not winning this one down 63-47 with 7 minutes left. But I would have been very curious if McNeese still would have made tourney if they had lost this game.

They are projected as a 13 seed but that projection has them winning the conference tourney too.

IMO, if they were to lose this game or the next, they still are a NCAA tourney team.

In metrics they are definitely an NCAA tournament team but I wouldn't count on the selection committee to give the Southland two bids.

There are levels to this.  Players and coaching.  McNeese is on a different one on both fronts. 

Agreed. As long as Wade is there they will have both a coaching and recruiting edge.

Lamar is a decent team not a good team. I'd rate them slightly below the middle of the pack nationally. They have seemed to played better as the season progressed and Pryor is the only senior (if the rest of the team chooses to return).

Lady Cards ranked #21 in this week's mid major poll.

It would have been nice had that all worked out in that manner. 

they could never make up their mind what kind of sports they wanted to emphasize after the great basketball teams of the early 80s. after having a 25-4 record and losing only two games to La Tech and 2 one point road games there was no NCAA bid. That was when Pat Foster called the NCAA selection committee "white-collar criminals". At that time they explored being independent or joining another type of conference.

baseball also suffered greatly with the departure of Jim Gilligan in the late 80s. He returned to restore some of the luster in the early 90s.

speaking of McNeese - 40 years ago on March 9, 1984 Lamar beat McNeese in a Southland Conference tournament game to win their 80th in a row at home. amazing accomplishment.

seems like one of them slow stall games

is it a stall? just following the score not seeing live.

Lady Cards take care of business beating Northwestern State in their last conference road game. FINAL Lamar wins 80-64.

Lamar now 22-5 with 12 wins in a row.

Final regular season game Wednesday at home against Houston Christian.

One thing I like about their play in the recent games is that they're getting off to fast starts and not having to expend a great effort to work back into the game. For a while, it looked liked they were not ready to play at the start of games.

Lady Cards beat A&M Commerce on the road 74-58 to get some revenge for their only conference loss of the year.

Meanwhile, the UIW CARDS beat Southeastern LA by a score of 53-51.

This gives Lamar a two game lead over SE LA with two to play. Lamar swept SE LA during the regular season so this should give the Lady Cards the #1 seed and the conference title.

Congrats Lady Cards now 21-5 and 15-1.

Lady Cards ranked #25 in this weeks mid major poll.

Road games at AM-Commerce (only conference loss) and Northwestern State Thursday and Saturday.

Aggies host Cardinals in a few minutes. 

Cardinals lose 13-2 in 7 innings. Cards not looking very good when playing the better teams.

Overall - 18-5 

Confrence - 12-1 

Win streak - 8 

Playing McNeese tonight who is winless in conference. Looking to wrap up one of the top two seeds then you only need two wins in the conference tournament to go to the NCAA tournament. 

Ranked #32 in the mid major poll this week.

Lamar wins opener against Southern Indiana 4-2. Next game at South Alabama.

Highlights: baseball opens Friday February 16 at South Alabama tournament; Lamar picked second on preseason conference poll; first home game is March 1.

Nevermind, a 2way tie between us and Ned. 

Nope Memorial a game behind BH and a game ahead of both Nederland and Crosby with two to go.

Lamar wins at A&M Corpus 63-57.

They finish the first half of the season tied for first with SE LA. They beat SE LA at home. Their only conference loss was to A&M Commerce at home which I consider an uninspired loss.

Overall their record is 14-5.

Lamar beats SE LA 74-64 at home...now 5-2 in conference play.

Next game Monday at home against New Orleans.

Really like that little guard Pryor.

Lamar blown out in second half final McNeese wins 88-69

Lamar now 3-0 in conference play.

This must be a misprint. Right @spidersal?

Nice road victory. Lamar trailed most of the game and came back to take a lead near the end of regulation. Nicholls tied to force overtime and Lamar came through with the victory.

Next is McNeese on the road Monday. McNeese probably the best in the Southland right now and undefeated at home.
