AggiesAreWe, thanks for not taking that knockout shot. LamarJunior, you are correct. I knew the question was too easy. But it did go down pretty quick.

Next question will be a little harder. Who was the last Lamar Men's Basketball Head Coach to be voted Conference Coach of the Year and what conference were the Cardinals playing in?

Matt Sundblad

He was one of the most excellent human beings I have ever met.  I was a student at the same time he was, and several of the most memorable games I have been to involved him.  I know we went to the tourney the year after he was done, but I really wished we could have done it a year earlier so Matt would have had that opportunity.

Ruckdad, you're right on target regarding Matt Sundblad. Great guy! Was the game you remember the game he came into in the Top 3 in the nation in FT percentage? If so, I remember that game well. Matt was a very good 3-pt shooter as well as FT shooter. With about 2 seconds left in the game Matt was fouled with Lamar losing by 3. Matt nailed the first FT as usual. Then Coach G. called TO. Matt then missed the second FT on purpose slightly to the right on the back of the rim. Ronald Nunnery (who later played of the Harlem Globetrotters) grabbed the rebound and slammed it home! Lamar tied the game with no time left and later won the game in OT. I just can't remember who we were playing. ??? It was a great game and the Montagne Center was rocking that night! 8)

I was at that game as as well.  There was also the game against Western Kentucky when he was coming back from an injury.  He played a horrible game, but made a 30 footer at the buzzer for the win as the fans spilled onto the floor.

I also went to a game in Ruston against La Tech that went triple overtime that Matt played a pivotal role in. 

Overall, he is one of, if not my most favorite Cardinal of all time.

I was at that game at the Montagne Center when Matt hit that 30-35 footer too. Awesome, he was clutch. I'd say Matt was in my Top 3 All-Time favorite players. You'll never met a nicer guy! 8)

We'll keep up the last trivia question in case someone can solve it but here is another. This one is regarding the Lady Cardinal basketball team.

What four national power lady basketball programs did Lamar beat on their way to a elite eight finish?

See if this old man cooks for you any time soon and that goes for your aunt GiGi too. Thanks for answering this question with a BIG HINT from this old guy. So the board can answer this new question. It's a dandy. I'll probably have to leave a couple hints for everyone. Especially young bucks like yourself. 

Okay, I decided asking for all four schools may be too much. Here are a few hints. Two of the teams are La Tech and Arkansas. Of the other two schools one plays in the SEC and the other school in the Big XII.

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.

Seattle, WA? Man, it's great having you on here! Please feel free to post or reply anytime you feel like it. If you still follow LU living in Seattle, you are my kind of man and I'm sure you know a great deal about Lamar.

Here is the next trivia question again. 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.

I follow LU pretty closely and had a pretty strong allegiance to the Cardinals (in relation to the other SWC and SLC schools in those days) when I was a kid in Jasper. The 2000 game against Duke in the tourney was the first time I'd seen them play since I left that area back in '91. I remember the sports station here doing a very funny interview with Coach Deane a couple of days prior to that game, so there are a few people up here that know about the Cards...

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
