Osas was a beast down low on defense. If he continues to improve, Cards will be tuff in the SLC. He not only blocked shots, but he redirected a lot of shots and created a lot of misses.

Shot poorly in the first half, but much better in the second half. Defense looks good! Harper was good tonight.

Heard James was suspended?

Nice to see us dominate a "real" D1 team. Very impressive win. Too bad about Mike James...tremendous athleticism...but the team was arguably better without him if he cannot buy in to Coach Knight's system. The guys played disciplined and controlled...nice shot selections and great effort. Playing defense is now "cool" at Lamar! And who would have ever thought we would've controlled the boards like that on an Atlantic 10 team. Our seniors really look good...Miles, Lamb, Davis all good, but this was Harper's day...gotta be his best game as a Cardinal. The only negative was the crowd size...I know, weird start time and lots going on...but if Coach Knight is going to bring D1 teams into Beaumont, we're gonna need to get some D1 size crowds into the Montagne.

I agree with all of this, however you need to remember we've been through roughly 25 years of crap with basketball.  It will take some more wins to get the crowd back.

Technically he is suspended indefinitely. He has a chance to change his attitude and his lazy ways, and if he does he will be reinstated to the team. If not, his collegiate career is over. Hopefully he can get it right.

PA News had an article about it today if someone wants to post it.

Obviously Roccaforte had constant problems with him because he was always suspending him or not playing him.  I say cut him loose.  I believe in first and second chances but this is probably 10+ chances for him.  Ridiculous.

    • That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.     
    • Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up. 
    • Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived? 
    • We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
