Guest coachacola Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 This one comes from CollegeHoopsNet.comhttp://www.collegehoopsnet.com/blog/marchmadness/2007/10/southland-conference-preview.htmlPrediction: There are several teams capable of winning the conference this year. I think it will eventually come down to Lamar in the East Division and Texas-Arlington in the West. Sam Houston State will also be right there down the stretch. In the end, Arlington has the inside presence in Jermaine Griffin to give every team besides Texas A&M-Corpus Christi fits down low, and the inside-outside balance to beat anyone they face. Lamar, on the other hand, needs to figure out its point guard situation if it is planning on winning the league.Lamar just may have done that this offseason.
TheSportsDoctor Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 I'm not a big basketball fan but I hear they landed a big-time PG.
Guest abovetherim Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 Based on first impressions, I'd say Lamar has a star PG in Kenny Dawkins.
YoungLUFan Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 Lamar has Sugar Shane Mahoney, Brandon McThay and Kenny Dawkins. Just watching the scrimmage I think McThay and Dawkins will play the majority of the time. Dawkins is quick, can breakdown the defense, run the break, finish and the dude can shoot. Yep, I think we got our PG.
NewCardinal Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 We just make it back from FW. So, we didn't see the scrimmage but I really like this team and they'll be fun to watch. Glad our tickets are free. 8)
LamarJunior Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 I really expect us to be in the hunt at the end of the season for the SLC regular season and conference tournament titles.
YoungLUFan Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 Coach Roc will have these guys playing a fun brand of basketball for the players and the fan's. It will be exciting!
Lamar Mom Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 After following the basketball team due to my son's obsession with Lamar Basketball for the past 25 years. I think this is our year and Coach Roc is veryimpressive as a young coach.Â
Cardinal Mania Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 All I can say is get your popcorn ready! ;D
Hoops Fan Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 The funny thing is the women may have a better season than the men and I think the guys are going to be very good.
360 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 I just love this time of year. Go Cardinals!
Guest abovetherim Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 It wouldn't surprise me if Coach Tidwell has the women playing in the NCAA tournament this season. I think Coach Roc with this his second year under the helm at Lamar will be more relaxed, let his assistant coaches (coach) and better manage the team. I really think he has matured as a head coach in the past 12 months. Thus, Lamar will have a better TEAM in all areas.
Guest Nederland Bulldogs Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 I hope he does, it wouldn't surprise me.
