A couple of tweets by Beaumont Enterprise sports editor Chris Dabe:

Lamar basketball has never opened a season w/ more than 4 straight road or neutral site games. Lamar opens with 11 this season.

But that number changes if Lamar somehow can host Preseason NIT games.

WOW!!! Lamar will possibly play 11 games before they play a home game!


Also, only have 11 home games this year, down from 15 last year (not counting exhibition games).


No change in season ticket prices though.

Sent my money in yesterday.

Pat Knight is trying to give an inexperience team some experience. Lamar record won't be very good this year going  into conference, however Lamar will dominate in the SLC. ORU and Lamar fighting the championship.
