Both teams add a FG and Lamar hangs on to win 22-16. I'm not sure what the pitching arrangements were today. Lamar has a 3 game home series with UTA this coming weekend.

Lamar leads Tarleton state 19-13 with 5 minutes left in 4th quarter....uh I mean top of 9th inning.

LU run rules UIW and wins 17-6 in 7 innings of series final. Next at Tarleton State for a Tuesday afternoon game.

Conference is #6 overall in RPI. Weakest teams are around 200 RPI with the majority of the teams sitting in the top 100. On the human polls, specifically NCBWA I saw UTRGV and Lamar had some votes but they are not in top 25. It would be truly nice if we could get two bids because winning the conference tournament will be super difficult this year.

Lamar wins Saturday game 8-4. Will go for sweep tomorrow. Need to win these games against the weaker opponents because the rest of the conference is very tough this year.

You actually have to pay money to enter the CBI tournament so other than the little bit of exposure you get maybe it is not financially practicable.

I don't see Southland getting two if McNeese should lose but then again I don't see McNeese losing at home in the tournament.

Schedule seems strange to me. Next Friday opens Southland play. Lots of gaps in conference play where we meet some of our old faves like Rice, Houston, and UTA. Also, Texas and A&M on the schedule this year.

[Hidden Content] The 2025 Southland Conference Baseball Championship tournament will include bracket play at the No. 1 and 2 seeds on May 15-18, with the two bracket play champions playing in the championship series on May 22-24 at the highest remaining seed. The tournament champion will claim an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament.

WB wins 42-40

40-40 with 32 seconds left in overtime

40-40 END of REGULATION

Well it doesn't get much worse than that.....previously 2-14 UNO 68 LU 62

SFA 72 LU 63 FINAL bad loss at home after Lamar had a 14 point lead at one time.

time running out trailing by 5 with four minutes left.

Lady Cardinals with a hard fought 77-74 victory over SFA at home. SFA ranked #18 in women's mid major poll. SE LA and Lamar also grabbed a few votes so should be a tough conference for the top spots this year.

Lamar won at Ragin Cajuns today 74-45. Cajuns not good this year. Next at Southern Mississippi then Texas Tech. Looking forward to see how we play these two games on the road to see if some real improvement has been made.

Not only a win but a 32 point win on the road in conference. Also, second straight conference win on the road to open conference play. Call me shocked to say the least.

Well no posts since September. Had a decent season. Were beaten soundly on the road by two excellent teams. Most of the other games were very tight games win or lose. Final record was 7-5

Quickly heading for another 20 loss season. There are some other really bad teams in Southland though.

Next game is on the road at #7 Central Arkansas. Lamar has actually played very poorly against two inferior opponents and quite well against two tougher opponents. So I guess soon we will see.

Agree. Went from 6-2 to 34-8 and 41-16. Took foot off pedal too soon and nearly paid for it.

Yes, for sure the bats need to keep rolling. I don't know if either McNeese or Nicholls has one of their better pitchers "stashed" back to pitch in these games. Not sure either how we will go about using our staff. These tournament series often end up in a game similar to last night when all the pitching has been used up. Reminds me of game 5 of the 2017 World Series when Houston beat Los Angeles 13-12 in ten innings.

just wanted to save an inning...oh well I hope we have enough now.

hoping for the 10 run rule now currently 17-9
