Lamar now 3-0 in conference play. This must be a misprint. Right @spidersal?

So Lamar men's basketball is now 11-9 and 5-2 in conference. Hardly the same team from the last two seasons. But only an idiot would say something like that.

I wish you'd quit pretending that 18-13, 12-6 is somehow better than 9-22, 5-13.

Well I know it is just an exhibition game but took overtime to edge St. Thomas  71-70

We shall see.  Blew out a bad NAIA team and then played it respectably close I guess against a mediocre SMU team.  We shall see.  Probably a make or break year for this staff if I had to guess.

Yeah Lamar never lead this game and at  it was 67-48. with 7:36 to play.

I wish the program all the luck in the world but I am still disappointed the way Tic Price was treated. As I posted below Tic is back in administration with the Southland Conference.

I believe to be successful again Lamar will need to take a new approach to hiring the next head coach. 12-50 record since Alvin came on.

Agreed.  Tic didn’t deserve the treatment he got.  But I’m not sure Marco did anything well in his short tenure as AD.  I am hoping this is the year they figure it out. A guy can hope lol

I agree that Marco was not a good AD. He hired a softball coach that can’t win, he did not get rid of the baseball coach that players can’t stand and post season tournament record is really bad, got rid of Harmony and Price. Women’s basketball has certainly slipped since they let her go and Price’s teams at least competed. 
I will say the new AD appears to have made a good hire in football. They have a chance to finish 6-5 or 7-4

Maybe Brooks team will be better this year

Well tonight is the best I’ve seen them play under the Brooks regime.  Also the best crowd we’ve had in a while in a big win over UTSA.  I don’t know if the Roadrunners are going to be very good or not, but it’s still a game we would have pissed away in the past couple of years.  Hopefully a harbinger of things to come.  We shall see.

Going to lose a heartbreaker on the road.  Led as much as 18.  With a 1 point lead and the ball with 30 seconds left (where they basically had to foul), Lamar inbounds and gets trapped and fail to call timeout.  Get tied up and they had possession.  Hit the game winner.  Sometimes there is some head scratching stuff going on with that team. Basketball 101 type of stuff.  Pacific steals on 77-76.  Never should have happened.  The last basket gave them their only lead of the game.

Interesting notes, former NBA great Reggie Theus coaches Bethune Cookman and my all time favorite author, John Feinstein is the color guy for Longwood basketball. 

Yes, I saw that Reggie was the coach there. I was actually searching Bethune-Cookman to see what conference they were in and stumbled across that.

I also try to check some of the power ratings services to see how the teams we are playing are rated. Of course, it is very early in the season for really meaningful ratings.

Same Lamar mens Basketball team under achieving under Brooks. They can only beat the weak teams, and D2 or NAIA

Getting kicked by Longwood today. Pretty poor basketball  Has anyone ever heard of Longwood?

If the new AD does his job Brooks, the SB coach, and Baseball coach will be replaced 

Obviously these 3 can’t get the job done, however I am afraid the Lamar administration doesn’t care

You’re wrong about the administration caring.  Dr Taylor at least very much cares.  But I can’t find fault with most of what you said.  The game today wasn’t even as close as the score.  Longwood’s coach is Griff Aldrich, who used to practice law in Houston.  However, he’s got a good thing going at Longwood.  They won 20 games last year and 26 games the year before. He’s in his 6th year in his first and only head coaching job.  I think they are pretty happy with the direction of their program.  Hopefully we will be one day.

Lamar beats Delaware State in OT today 84-81

 Nice to finish 2-1.  But I thought that game was a step back.  That was a team playing 3 guards 30 plus minutes at the end of a 3 games in 3 days stretch.  Should have honestly beaten them by 20+ and were lucky to escape with a win.  Still, I will take a bad win over a good loss.

      Kids suffer because they have irresponsible parents who didn’t practice birth control. They use abortion for their control.

      Go live in a third world country then get back to me about the word “poor”…..you ll have a different perspective.  Your right a kid shouldn’t suffer for parents decisions, but that’s the world we live in created by those who don’t teach responsibility as well as handicapping by giving handouts.  Cause and effect.   Now yes there are people who are hit with some tragic unforeseen circumstances who need help to get back on their feet but that’s different then a habitual irresponsible lifestyle  fema is a totally different animal.  And it’s actually  something I’ve never had to deal with…..so I can’t really speak on it but I do know it’s a govt agency and most govt agencies are poorly ran.  Natural disasters have been part of this earth for a long time….way before fema came along and people have managed. said kids get taught by said parents that the govt owes them for their circumstances instead of seeing for what it really is and the lesson that should actually be taken from such a life…..”I’m not going to be like my parent or parents….im going to look at others as examples …..my teachers, my coaches, any aunts or uncles, relatives etc etc that are successful…..I’m going to work hard and smart and make good decisions and what bad decisions I do make I’m going to learn from.” Suffering is a great teacher.  This earthly place is temporary and many will suffer even the righteous and even children. Life on earth is not fair….its not a new concept. The good ole race card.  I’m not surprised. I feel the same way no matter the color.  Whites are just as guilty as any other race.  It’s not a race issue it’s a culture issue.  You have allowed color to guide your thought process…..is that what you were taught. how bout you check out the income of many of those politicians you vote for who care so much about kids.  They go in as an every day working citizens then come out millionaires off of shady deals, kickbacks and taxpayers backs. They keep promising y’all false promises and you keep falling for it….bidens been doing it for over 40 years. i just wasted time on this reply because you are not hearing any of it……..you want handouts with no accountability. .sorry to the posters who wasted their time reading this…..it got off topic.
