not going so good...from a 40-29 lead to trailing 56-49 with 7 minutes left now.

Halftime Lamar leads 36-27

Lamar beats A&M Corpus 65-53 to advance to finals of Southland Tournament.

They will play Southeastern for the right to go dancing...Lamar already beat Southeastern twice this year so they always say hard to beat a team three times.

Women's basketball beats McNeese 80-75 in OT to move to semifinal game in Southland Tournament against A&M Corpus.

Lamar perfectly capable of beating any of the teams. Problem this year has been inconsistency not only from game to game but also within games.

Today had a 10 point lead in 4th quarter only to lose the lead and have to go to overtime to pull out the victory.

2 game winning streak!! Get you tickets for Oklahoma city, NOW!!  

now you are sounding like @gonelsons on the men's basketball thread who is going dancing every year. sad thing is not only do we lose so many games but most of the games we are not even competitive.

Well the streak is over. The Cards have 2 nice wins over A&M and KState. Tonight an ugly loss to Penn. 3 hits with 2 of those in the 9th and a horrible 4 errors. I hope they can come back tomorrow and Sunday It appears that the Ivy League is better than the Southland

hope you were not on the golden egg ticket package

lots of errors tonight too. did you make it out to the game?

Does anyone know if there is an NCAA D1 softball team worse than Lamar. 3-16 now and 21-105 since she has started recruiting  In my opinion they need to find a new coach that can recruit and teach the players are simply do away with softball

spidersal here is a more pleasant memory for you:

Hard to believe any programs are worse than ours and we have a bunch of bad programs.

Men's basketball just finished 9-22...11-49 over last two seasons. Dead last in probably the worst conference in the country other than the Northeastern.

Think back when we had SFA and Sam and other teams that were halfway decent but it was unacceptable to finish third or fourth behind them. Now we can't even make a conference tournament that takes 8 out of 10 teams.

I hope your right, but the Quaket had an rpi in the mid 50s last year.   The Ivy league can get some players in baseball.  Often kids from very affluent families with offers from big name programs. 

Do you guys have any current RPI services you view that you consider reliable? I've checked a few and they are kind of wacky. For instance one has Oakland ahead of us and we swept them and they only won one other game.

Lamar should be decent playing at home. Penn lost a three game series to top 25 South Carolina last weekend and that is the only games they have played. South Carolina is currently 9-0.

Lamar wins another opening with 7 straight victories by a score of 2-1.

Jacob Ellis with 7 strong innings of work tonight.

Next game tomorrow evening versus Houston Christian.

I am with you on this. Brooks simply is not head coaching material. Time to cut our losses with him and start fresh.

What can you say about this mess of a program?

Another 20 loss season sitting in a three way tie for last place in arguably the worst conference in the country.

Per Ashley Elam: 

Lady Cards top first place Southeastern for their seventh straight win! Lamar (17-10, 11-5) now sits one game out of first.

Yes, they sit in 3rd place behind A&M Corpus and Southeastern La with two games to play.  They need to pass one of those teams or catch them while holding the tiebreaker.

Their last two games are against New Orleans and Nicholls the bottom two teams in the conference...both beat Lamar earlier or we could be in first place.

The latest vs UTSA. Lamar blows a 12-7 lead in the bottom of 7th.  How long are they going to continue with Hooks. They are now 12-89 the last 2 seasons and their now 1-8 at the start of this season.  I don’t think you can get much worse than this!

Yes and did you see how they blew it with errors and misplays? Really sad.

They did manage to win two in a row after this and had a 3-0 lead in the third game but lost to fall to 3-10 on the season now. I think those two wins might cost us on our over/under for wins for the season.

Lamar 7 Texas A&M 4 TOP 9th

Lamar 6 Texas A&M 4 BOT 7...Snell with 3 run HR his second HR of the night.
