Ford Park is just not a good basketball arena....Kinda like playing in Reliant ARENA in Houston...Too much wide open space, you know? Lamar U. was THE PERFECT spot for the regional tournament, and I have no idea why they chose to move it to Katy...

I agree. The regional should have stayed at Lamar.

From what I'm hearing the date was changed for the YMBL from what was originally told to Lamar. Regardless it's Lamar's facilities and their teams and schedules come first. Do you think any other D1 school would change their schedules for a high school tournament. I agree with Ford Arena though it would be great to get a regular season tournament there and a regional. The seats are not too far away, if you've been to the Merrell Center you know there is plenty of distance between the seats and the court as well because an indoor football team plays there.

after hearing the arguments, this is my opinion... lamar should come first when it comes to their facilities, but if they're going to choose to host tournaments not involving lamar sports (and i assume make a decent amount of money while doing so), then they should be willing to host the tournament responsibly and fairly, which means giving teams a chance to celebrate a win before they're booted out, allowing time for a medals ceremony, etc. etc.  Now i don't know anything about a possible date change by the YMBL, but if that's the case, then i can't place much blame on Lamar in this situation.  Obviously next year they need to coincide the tournament with an away weekend for both lamar teams, or if not, the YMBL needs to find another place to play.

Dates have been offered for the YMBL for next year. Their first choice has been denied because it was during finals week and Roc would like his teams to be playing at home. Another option has been offered when Lamar will be on the road. The original date the YMBL asked for this year was a week earlier that's why LU was on an 8 day Kentucky road trip these are the facts. I'm not sure why this side of the story wasnt given.

      What news station do you watch?…..never mind.    What age are the children you take care of. Refugees from where? Are they in a hospital? Now children compared to criminals…..geeeez. The mayor of Denver and a few governors, including Newsom, have said they will not turn over incarcerated criminals to ICE. This is a felony. They are harboring criminals and fugitives. Gee, I’m so glad you want criminals protected. Anyone who crossed illegally into our country is a criminal. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

      Are they offering refuge to criminals? Or is it a Trump talking point? Refugees are people who leave their country due to unwarranted prosecution. I actually take care of 2 refugee kids who have complex medical needs   No, refugees are not criminals, and the assumption that they are more likely to be criminals than the general population is incorrect:                                                                                          Research shows immigrants commit crimes at lower rates Immigrants in the United States commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population, including unauthorized immigrants. This is true across immigrant groups.                  Immigration doesn't raise crime rates Immigrants don't raise crime rates in the communities where they settle. In fact, some studies suggest that immigration can lower crime rates, especially violent crime.                  Anti-immigration politicians have spread a myth Anti-immigration politicians have repeatedly tried to link immigrants to crime, but research shows this is a myth.                  Refugees don't cause crime in Turkey A study found that refugees don't have a causal effect on crime rates in Turkey. In fact, the study found that refugees may have a negative effect on crime rates per capita.

      I think it's actually the first time ever to get past the second round. Some older folks might try to tell you about Scott High but I wasn't here when that school was around 😆
