  1. I thought UTA had a great game plan.  They executed it very well.  However, once that LU machine got rolling it was all over.  Kalis had some great rebounds down the stretch.  Brittney and Jenna pulled off some nice picnrolls. This team never quits.  Love to watch them play. 

    In the 2nd half, when Jenna jerked the ball away from the UTA guard that made her spin around I thought I was going to lose my mind.  She has to be the quickest little point guard i have ever seen.

    Dang Bleed, I hope HillGuy doesn't take offense to that.

    What about this Barbara Hickey from Orangefield, she played at Lamar, 4th leading scorer of all time there, got as far as the Elite 8..Barb do you still hold the record for the high jump at Lamar too?  ;)

    No sir, I never did hold the record.  I did 6' 1/4.  Someone in the early 80's did 6'1" from what I understand.  Just for the record i'm number 5 on the leading scorer list :) Brittany Williams passed me up this year.  1. Jackson 2. Simms 3. Williams 4. Gant 5. Hickey .  The coolest thing about this list is that #'s 1, 4, and 5 played on the same team :)

    I was blessed to be apart of such a great team. 
  3. You can make more money flippin burgers than you can make in the WNBA also.  In 98 I was talking to the Commits.  I was going to try out and was shocked when I was told how much I would probably make.  Overseas is where the money is at or was.  I haven't looked into all of that in a long time.  Well, since 98. 

    If we are going to go by High School achievements then it's important to remember that Travesa Gant was the number 1 recruited player out of the state of Texas her Senior year.  It was a big deal that she signed with us at Lamar. 
  4. I had the honor of playing with Travesa Gant. Travesa was an extremely talented athlete.  I remember hearing about Pennee Hall when I was in High School.  She was the talk back in the day.  However, if Teresa Weatherspoon is eligible for this list then she gets my vote.  I played against Teresa my freshman year at Lamar.  I had the challenge of "trying" to guard her when I was in the game.  She was incredible and one of if not the best point guard I've ever seen.
  5. Bulldog92, that is correct. The ladies were 29-4. The best record the men or womens program ever had. Now, I know officially Lamar and the SLC does not recognize this elite eight team. Well, when USC returns their National Championship in FBS football with Reggie Bush I'll quit stating Lamar's Ladies make it to the Elite Eight.

    You must really know about LU athletics to answer this question. Thanks for taking part in the trivia question.

    Next question, Who was the last Lamar men's basketball player to be voted MVP of a conference, what was the year and what conference did Lamar play in at the time. 1. The player. 2. The year. 3. The conference.

    The women's problem was they were too successfull too quickly under Barbre....and they beat the wrong people..UT and LSU on the way there.  Why doesn't the NCAA take away everything UNLV accomplished or OU with K Sampson.  Or almost every other program out there.  It's a joke on how they pick certain schools or certain teams to punish.  I'm with ABTR...the NCAA can't take away what those girls accomplished on the court.  They were awesome.

    I still have my ring and they can't take that away :)
