Ladies take the court at 2:00 PM and with a win can secure a second straight regular season title. Men's game will follow. Congratulations to the Lamar seniors both men's and ladies.

Ladies come out and play a solid 1st quarter pulling out to a seven point lead at 22-15.

Lamar pushes out to a sixteen point lead but then lets McNeese work their way back to an eight point defecit before settling for a ten point half time lead.

[geezer]

Third quarter played pretty even overall and scoring was even for the quarter. Third quarter score 55-45 in favor of Lamar.

Lady Cards close out the season with a 81-68 win over McNeese to get the SLC regular season championship. Kinard scores 34 to lead all scorers. Barrs has 7 steals and 13 assists in her final regular season game.

Thought it was interesting on the broadcast of the SEC Women’s Tournament on the SEC Network, they showed the quality wins for Mississippi State for the season at it included Lamar. Then during the A&M game, Lamar got mentioned that they beat the Aggies with a very tough defense and Auburn was trying to use that same strategy. Nice to see the respect for our girls program.

Great crowd for the Women’s game. Did not hear the attendance, but my guess is between 2500-3000. Less at the men’s game.

[geezer]

At the second media timeout the men are up 16-7. Mzeakor has eight early points and is playing aggresively on offense especially.

[geezer]

4:31 left in the first half and LU is now up 30-15. Only real negative is Garth hasn't hit a three yet and Hunter appears to be favoring his leg again.

[geezer]

Lamar closes out the half with a twenty point lead at 39-19. Good first half, hopefully the Cards come out in the second half with a similar intensity and put McNeese away early. Edited March 9, 2019 by geezer

SELa loses to Nicholls. Lamar is assured a tie for 3rd place with a win over McNeese. Edited March 9, 2019 by Skinny1

[geezer]

Seven minutes left in the game and LU is up 68-41. So far just the way you want the second half to go.

[geezer]

Last media time out with 3:42 left and LU up by twenty six. Just need to play smart to finish out this game. Edited March 10, 2019 by geezer

[geezer]

Final score LU 83 - McNeese 58. Another solid performance with 18 assists and 7 turnovers. Nzeakor leads LU with twenty points and twelve reboundes.

The men play at 5 on Wednesday in Katy.Opponent to be determined tonight probably between Central Ark and Stephen F Austin.Hunter's injury has been a groin pull which has also slowed LeBron James this year.

[geezer]

Looking at the standings SFA didn't make the tourney. I wonder when the last time that happened was. From what I've read LU should play HBU. Edited March 10, 2019 by geezer

I interpret the tie breaker to have Lamar playing HBU at 5pm Wednesday. If I would pick a team to play in the first round it would be HBU.

Official attendance for the men’s game is listed as 5,218. This seems a bit high, but still a good crowd.
