What direction do you think O'Malley will go for a coach? An assistant from a successful program or a HC with a resume of success at peer or lower levels.
Well Lamar managed to run themselves out of the conference tournament with a 75-53 loss at HCU to complete an eight-game losing streak to finish the season. Cards had five players go a combined 0-18 from the field. Not sure anyone will want to watch Lamar basketball next year.
Congratulations to the Cards getting the sweep with a 2-1 win in the bottom of the tenth. The Cards will host Rice in the mid-week game Wednesday evening before going to SFA for the next conference series next weekend.
Ladies win three of five games over the weekend, splitting two games against Morehead State by winning the Sunday game 6-2, defeating Chattanooga and Jackson State, while dropping the game to Southern Miss. Overall, not a bad weekend.
Cards get an outstanding pitching performance from Olivier and take the second game against UTRGV 1-0. The second straight win secures the series for Lamar. Chance for the sweep tomorrow afternoon at 1 PM.
Softball splits their games on Saturday with an 12-0 win over Jackson State and 3-0 loss to Southern Miss. They will play Morehead State again on Sunday morning to finish the weekend.
Ladies win their second game of the day defeating Chattanooga 7-1. Doesn't look like the pitcher in the Morehead State game is ready. She is 0-3 pm the year. Play two more games tomorrow with games against Jackson State and host Southern Miss.
Cards open conference play hosting UTRGV this evening at 6 PM. UTRGV is the highest ranked team in the SLC. Cards need to come out strong and get conference play off to a good start.
Two weekends into the season and three mid-week games finds the Cards with a five and four record including two run rule losses to nationally ranked teams. The Conference season will start this coming weekend.
Lamar falls on a last few second's drive by Nicholls. Coaching mistake and or player execution. Lamar was up by one point with five seconds left and three fouls to give. If you use the fouls to use up the time Nicholls doesn't get the layup.
Monday evening against Nicholls finds the Cards up by three at the half, but it is not because LU is playing good. Lamar is shooting a miserable sub 30% from the field but the right players have shot free throws with Lamar making seven of eight. Lamar has the lead because Nicholls is shooting about the same as Lamar. Hopefully, Lamar will step it up in the second half.
Cards fall to UNO by a final of 77-71. The Cards have three games left and unless East makes it back, I doubt they win another game. If they don't make the tournament is that enough to get rid of Brooks. I know he got an extension last year but you can't say the program is headed in a good direction.
Lamar playing UNO without East and Wilhite, but hanging close, down three at the half 32-29. Not sure what is wrong with Wilhite, but they said East is out with an ankle injury and has been in a walking boot since Monday nights game.
