A visit to historic Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky., a tournament in Cancun, Mexico on Thanksgiving and a visit to Huntsville by a Basketball Hall of Famer highlight the 2009-10 Sam Houston State men’s basketball schedule announced Thursday by Bearkats coach Bob Marlin.

The schedule includes 13 nonconference games (six in Huntsville, seven on the road) and 16 Southland Conference regular-season games.

Sam Houston State also will be looking to make its eighth consecutive postseason appearance in the Southland Conference tournament March 11-14 in Katy.

“Obviously, making our first visit to Rupp Arena in Lexington to play one of the top programs in the history of college basketball in Kentucky is a highlight of the schedule,” Marlin said. Sam Houston faces off against the Wildcats on Nov. 19

Bearkats back on top
The Bearkats got caught playing down to Southeastern Louisiana’s level in the first half, but a lights-out second half led to a 67-46 victory over the Lions on Saturday.
Sam Houston State turned the ball over 10 times, which resulted in nine Southeastern points at the break. That’s why the Lions trailed by only three at halftime, though they only shot 26.5 percent (9-of-34) from the floor.
Southeastern played even worse in the final 20 minutes, but most of that had to do with Sam Houston’s raised intensity level, thanks to a firm halftime message that stuck.
