Rough night for the belt

9-1 Marshall lost to 4-6 UNCG 75-67

Texas state is losing to a non D1 team Mary Harden Baylor in the 2 half by 10.

9-1 USM is pulling their weight in crushing a really bad Lamar team.

Crazy I remember many years ago when Lamar was pretty good in basketball and baseball and I don’t think they are good in either anymore.

Texas State commits the unpardonable sin, falls to Mary Hardon-Baylor 71-65 at home of course. But it was an exhibition game…

It was an exhibition game for UMHB but not for Texas State. It is a loss for Texas state.

Looks like they lost it with poor 3 point shooting and their bench out scored their starters.

I remember when Lamar was good in basketball. They had Mike Oliver, B.B. Davis and Clarence Kea. They were very cocky. We let them have it in Blackham when they came out of the locker room. Probably would have been asked to leave in today's world with some of the things we shouted back then.

I remember being one of the early ones in Blackham for a Lamar game and a guy near me engaged Oliver while he was wagging the #1 finger. Oliver said “#1 baby!” Of course the guy told him bluntly where to shove it.

File under “things not allowed ever at the CD without consequences”.

Those were some a awesome games! The football team sat right behind the visitors bench. It got ugly most of the time.

I also remember the Lamar players coming out displaying the #1 finger. We responded by displaying a single finger also but it was an entirely different finger.

Oh yeah, remember that for sure. It could get quite entertaining and amusing. For some reason, apparently the visitor's bench did not think it was that amusing.

Take aways from last night, as I watched most of all 3 games.

#1. I can't take anything away from the USM vs Lamar game, Lamar is a terrible basketball team. They have 1 D1 win over Lindenwood, who is in there first year of D1 basketball. Lamar is horrendously bad. I think USM is a quality club, but nothing can be taken away from beating a team like Lamar.

#2. Texas State is bad, really bad or at least poorly coached. They are way more athletic than MHB, but MHB outcoached them from beginning to end. Texas State held the lead in the game for all of 20 seconds late in the 2nd half. MHB was undermanned and under athleticized, but they are a very smart basketball team that outplayed and out coached Texas State. Texas State is going to struggle to win many games this year.

#3. Marshall is a quality team, they just got outplayed by UNCG last night who is a better team than their 4-6 record would indicate. Marshall is a little over rated from their 9-1 now 9-2 start. Their best wins are against a 5-4 Akron team and a 7-3 Duquesne team. Their two losses were to Queens who just bumped up to D1 this year and now UNCG. They have a tough game vs a 7-3 Toledo team Saturday which will tell us more about them. They have some really good athletes and players on this Marshall team, they will compete for the top half of the SBC.

And they could back it up...that was a great era of Lamar BB. Those games, both in Laf. and Beaumont were always balls to the wall good and close, and full of smack talk...
