Lamar State is on the road Wednesday at Lee College

The Lamar State College-Port Arthur men’s basketball team will be looking for their fourth straight win Wednesday, when they travel to Baytown for a 7 p.m. game against Region XIV rival Lee College.

The Seahawks, 11-4 overall and 2-3 in conference play, captured their third win of 2010 at home Saturday, with an 83-69 non-conference victory over Delgado Community College. 

Lamar State head coach Matt Cross is pleased with his team’s performance in the last three games.

“This was our best defensive performance of the season,” Cross said. “On offense, our guards finally were able to get in a rhythm and knock down shots like they did to start the season. Dion Waiters, who played his first game Wednesday, gave us a defensive stopper. Kavon Rose has starting coming back to life after a mid-season slump.”

Lee (8-8, 2-3) is coming off Saturday’s 84-77 conference loss at Jacksonville College. The Runnin’ Rebels committed 32 turnovers in that game, 22 of which were unforced.

However, Cross isn’t taking Wednesday’s game lightly.

“Despite their record, I believe Lee is the most dangerous team in our conference,” Cross said. “It always is difficult to win on the road. But I think Wednesday night’s game is winnable for us, and I expect to win.”

Lamar State returns to the Carl Parker Center on Saturday for a 4 p.m. conference game against Navarro College, the No. 2 ranked team in the nation.
