I've seen plenty of shooters, I want to see some makers especially in clutch time.

It's D2 but those are decent stats. Looks like he can play on the wing maybe.

Women dropped their first game in the same manner they lost to SFA in the conference tourney. Portland's pressure defense forced too many Lamar turnovers and Oguego never made it back from her late season ankle injury. She was a big loss.

Lamar winds up winning two of three at Corpus Christi, but it wasn't easy. The Cards lost the opening game giving up four runs in the first and only scoring one on the evening. In game two Lamar won 7-3 but had to score six runs over the last five innings. This afternoon Lamar jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the Cards first two innings but then gave up ten runs before scoring one in the top of the sixth before giving up five more runs for CC to go to the top of the ninth with a six-run lead. Lamar managed to score six in the ninth to tie the game and three in the tenth to get the win. Lamar has quality pitching depth. The bull pen is terribly inconsistent. Even in the starting pitching Olivier has been the only one to be consistent so far this season. Despite all of this Lamar is still tied for first and 8-4.

Does anyone know anything about the quality of the three red shirt freshmen from this past year?

The only player I really hope he is able to retain is East. i'm sure there might be another one or two but I wasn't overly impressed with any of the rest of the regulars this past season.

Spring football practice started this week. Article indicates the focus is details and techniques.

Fee's wife is expecting a baby any day, so they have not had the press conference yet as Lamar is letting him stay close to home. I'm sure they'll do a press conference as soon as it feesible.

Foster left in 1986 and is the last coach that wasn't fired. His replacement Abatemarco was at Lamar for two years. I don't remember if he was fired or basically forced to resign after a run in with key supporters. So, it has been forty years since a Lamar HC left to take a job at a more prestigious school.

Lamar women got an invitation to the WNIT which currently is the third-tier post season tournament below the NCAA and WBIT. Lamar women received a first round bye and will play the winner of the Sam Houston and Portland game scheduled for Thursday the 19th. Lamar's game will be between this coming Sunday the 22nd and next Tuesday.

Have to admit Roccoforte could recruit. Without the talent he managed to assemble the record would have been a lot worse. Rocc and Brooks are similar, but hopefully this is a new, positive era for Lamar basketball.

Glad to see that a hire has been made and the bio looks like the kind of coach Lamar should be looking for with the budget that it has. If this coach can translate his previous success at the D2 level to D1 then hopefully Lamar gets a few good years before he moves on to a more prominent position at a higher-level conference.

The thing about Lamar is it was in the Sun Belt before they decided to return to the Southland the first time after having shut down the football program and the basketball program in the early stages of heading to less than mediocre.

Women's basketball season end this evening in Lake Charles in the same way it did last year with a fourth quarter collapse that allowed SFA come from behind and defeat the ladies 64-59 in the tournament semi-final.

Jury's still out on quality of this team. Based on the pre-conference action it looked like they were improved even though there were big losses to both UT and A&M but after being swept by McNeese over the and a five - o loss at Houston tonight.
