I wonder if some of that has to do with tv ratings.  Pat Knight and his rant will be plastered all over ESPN and they will be the only game on TV.

Was hoping not to get a play in game, but it is a chance to win a tourney game. The game will be Wednesday night at 5:30

UT is an #11 seed against Cincy.  Very winnable game.

These games have been cancelled according to BCCardinalsBaseball Twitter page.

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1195746" timestamp="1331480143"] I just do not understand how some of you who post on this site try to sound so knowledgeable and don't really have a clue....its like me posting in the dang soccer forum..I don't know soccer, have never played soccer, yet if I went on there and talked about a soccer team's coach that just lost in the state title game on a last se cond goal, as if I know what the heck is going on....I would sound pretty dumb to a guy that REALLY knows soccer. Same concept.... Here are some things that you may want to consider: 1) This Yates team was very good, finishing with a 33-6 record as state finalist, but although they were far better than most in Texas, they were not as good as the previous teams that dominated in 09 and 10....not even close...No TRUE PG, for starters, and I could go on, but I want to keep this simple. 2) Every coach in TEXAS would send tapes on and try to strategize on how to beat Yates...ALL SEASON LONG..Do you guys really think that Coach Wise did not see every gimmick, trick defense, offensive game plan in the WORLD throughout these playoffs? Yet was a possession away from winning state again? 3) Their Sr. Leader, went 1-16 last night, and 0-7 from three....yet it took a prayer to best them on a last second shot in the end...1-16!  This had not happened all year long...They missed FIVE front end one and ones down the stretch, which allowed Kimball to get back in the game.... wrong time for that, but how is that Coach Wise's fault? It's basketball, sometimes that just happens. 4) Ever lose a parent the day before a title game? Well Yates had to deal with THAT obstacle as well...the sophomore guard #1, lost his grandmother (who was raising him) on Friday while in Austin....Not making excuses, just stating facts here.. 5) Did one of you guys say DISCIPLINE was an issue? I'd you did, I want to ask you one question...If you have seen Yates play, have you EVER seen those kids, talk back to a ref, talk smack to an opposing player, chest pump, throat slash, or ANY of those things that you often see undisciplined kids and teams do? I will answer for you. NOT EVER. Yates has possibly the MOST disciplined kids around.. Maybe this will help some of understand better, then again maybe it won't...I was just as shocked at the ending last night as most, but I do know that in these winner take all championship situations, things can and will happen....to blame the coach that has been there many times and understands also, is just not smart...Kimball was the defending state champion...they were a very good team...it took a wing and a prayer for them to beat Yates, and they got them both last night....Congrats to them and thanks to both teams for one of the best 4A finishes EVER.

I hit a HR one time at a Regional tourney in Dumas.  It was a low line drive that I didn't think was going to leave the park.  I was running full speed when the 1st base coach told me it was gone, just in time for the 1st base bag to jump out and cut me for a flip.  I sat on my butt in the infield dirt as the whole crowd laughed at me.  It was definately my most memorable homerun trot.

UT defeated Dallas Baptist midweek by a score of 2-1 in 12 innings. Still no offensive production from the Horns. Felts finished 0-5 and Bellow was 0-3 with a BB and run scored. It looks like the Friday game against Loyola Marymount was cancelled for weather.  They will play a double header today to try to get a few games in.

#5 Texas A&M took game 1 from #11 CS Fullerton by a score of 6-1.  Statum finished 1-4 and looks to have taken over the job in left for now.  Game 2 was stopped for weather with the scored tied at 5 in the 10th.  They will finish game 2 and 3 today.

Lamar wins 70-49!!  These last 6 games have been pretty awesome.

Lamar up 68-49 with a min left!! This will be the Cards first tourney appearance since 2000

James with a big 3 to stretch the lead to 16!! The Cards are playing great defense, especially in the paint.  The difference in the effort level since Knight went off is undeniable.

52-39 Lamar leads with 6:50 left

Mike James is taking over after McNeese made a run.  44-35 Lamar is up with 11 min left

McNeese is chipping away.  Lamar up 35-30
