After a very sluggish start Lamar gets it rolling in the second half to defeat A&M Commerce by a score of 83-58.
Southland Conference Championship game on 3/14 at 4 p.m.

Lamar beats Texas Southern 9-3. Coming next:   weekend series against Pacific

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

McNeese 39 Lamar 24 HALF

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.

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.

Most importantly, as long as they split the last two, they get the first round bye (they hold the tiebreaker over Southeastern, having beaten them twice). And if they catch Nicholls, they also  hold the tiebreaker and will give them the 3rd seed.  To be honest, I’m not sure I wouldn’t rather have the 3rd and get McNeese in the Semis because the finals will be a crazier atmosphere in LC.  And I think we match up just as well, if not better, with them as with Corpus.  
 
And I will say in terms of the criticism herein, Lamar is winning close games (3-0 in OT games this year - in my experience coaching is huge in those), due in no small part to end of game adjustments/coaching. 

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.

Birds beat UIC in 10 with an 8-7 score. Face SFA tomorrow at 7. 

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 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.
