After spending two years in the Southland Conference’s Louisiana-heavy East Division, and the past two years in the all-Texas West Division, Lamar has agreed to take up permanent residence in the East starting next season. Cardinal basketball coach Steve Roccaforte probably wishes the move had already been made, seeing as how the West is so dominant. Entering Saturday’s games, teams in the West owned a 17-4 edge over Eastern teams in conference play. The Cardinals were 2-3 vs. the West and 3-1 against the East.

Good...it was stupid moving back and forth. Although this does give Terror a reason to bash LU.

Well, it's true.

Being in the SLC East benefits SFA or Lamar - whichever is in there. This is across ALL sports. The funding gap continues to grow.

Also, Lamar's #1 rival - McNeese - is in the SLC East. For SFA, they lose their two contests against SHSU annually.

I never knew he needed a reason. He usually just creates a reason.

It doesn't matter. Hopefully LU will be out of this conference.

We can't win because we are in the SLC.

I think it's better to lose in a good confeence than in a bad conference.
