Well, success has it’s cost, and one of those costs are assistants that have success and move up. Justin Deason, who created an explosive defensive that created turnovers and defensive scoring, joined Eric Morris’ s staff at Incarnate Word. Morris was the offensive coordinator at Texas Tech before taking the head job. Incarnate Word is…
This is a critical stretch for the Lion Women’s team. Let’s take a look at where they are now and where their season could go from here.

Hard to believe we are almost into March, which means Spring Sports are upon us, (yes that means even some Football). So let’s get to it. Softball- Richie Bruister’s club has started the season off with a bang, currently they are at 9-1 for the season. Opening LSC play already, they took both parts of…
Same Song, Different Verse. Jason Burton’s squad shot the ball pretty well. The Tarleton State TexAnns just the ball a lot better. TSU ran out to a 24-12 first quarter lead before the Lions closed the gap to 30-26 at the half. Heading into the final frame, the Lions were down 45-42. Then, the floodgates…
I guess this is a team that just has a flare for the dramatic. For the past 6 games, 4 times have gone into Overtime. Good news is that the Lions are 4-1. The Bad News, this means that the Lions have had a chance to finish 5 of the past 6 games, and 4 times…
Women take a much needed win heading into a crucial game against Tarleton State Tuesday Night in Stephenville. It will be the final road game of the year for the Women, as they host UT-Permian Basin and West Texas A&M at home to close there regular season. These next three games are super crucial for…
Lions drop a win on the road to move a full 2 1/2 games out of first place with a loss to a Hot Shooting Angelo State team. To the Rams credit, they shot the lights out. It is hard to go on the road and win, but a hot shooting team is rougher.…
The cold shooting continued for the Women’s Basketball team as they fell to the Angelo State Rambelles 66-55. The Lions are now tied for second in the LSC overall. The Lions have 4 games left for the regular season, thankfully all of them at home. Winning out will get them at least a Co-Championship. Next…
What a day. If Kickoff is Christmas Day, and the release of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football is Christmas Eve, then national signing day is Thanksgiving. (Being tongue in cheek). Anyway, let’s start with the class. Full List: 2018 A&M-COMMERCE FOOTBALL SIGNEES NAME HOMETOWN HIGH SCHOOL HT. WT. POS. Emmanuel Adagbon Mesquite, Texas Mesquite Horn HS…
This was not a good weekend for either the Men’s or Women’s Hoopsters. The Women dropped a 64-60 loss at Eastern New Mexico. After leading most of the way, the Zias of ENMU outscored the Lions by 5 points in the final 10 minutes to take the win. The women are still in first place,…
The Scene: Pure Bedlam.. On a cold evening at Texas A&M-Commerce’s Memorial Stadium on Ernest Hawkins field, students and fans rushed the field to celebrate something they have not celebrated in 45 years. Their team was going to the National Championship. In fact, that very day marked 45 years since The Lions lifted the N.A.I.A…
A few quick thoughts: They needed this one. The past couple of weeks have been rough for the Lions. Losses to UTPB and West Texas on the road, a tough overtime win over Midwestern State, and a loss to Cameron. Over the past 5 games, the Lions have a 2-3 record. They needed this win…
A few thoughts: Basketball is a mental game. I played it all my life. Confidence can be bolstered by beating a good team, winning a game you were not supposed to win, or making a huge play in a crunch time situation. On the flip side, it can be eradicated by losing to a tough…

A three pointer with .06 left in the game pushed the A&M-Commerce Lions in overtime against a salty Midwestern State team, and then back into the LSC win column with a 91-88 win Thursday night in Commerce. With that win, the Lions push their record to 16-3 overall and 8-2 in LSC play. This was…
The Lion Women avenged their only LSC loss by taking down MSU’s Lady Mustangs with a big win over Midwestern State. The Ladies secure their lead on first place in the LSC and push their record to 14-5 overall and 10-1 in LSC play.
This weekend was a fantastic weekend for the Women’s Basketball team as they picked up two HUGE wins on the road. Knocking off Texas-Permian Basin in Odessa and then heading up the road to knock off a ranked West Texas team showed that this team is primed to be an LSC contender for the regular…
It is the first win in Canyon in 13 years. Not even the 2006-07 team can say they beat a ranked WT team on the road. A HUGE win. The Lions push their record to 12-5 overall, and to a 9-1 LSC record to stay in a strong first place position. This team is legit.…
