Anonymous The Huntsville Item Thu Sep 24, 2009, 11:15 PM CDT

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

The Kentucky game is part of Sam Houston’s participation in the Cancun Classic. The Bearkats will also play at Cleveland State on Nov. 21 before heading to Cancun to play Oral Roberts on Nov. 24 and either Rider or Florida A&M; on Nov. 25.

Other nonconference road games take Sam Houston to Auburn on Dec. 20, Wright State on Dec. 28 and Western Michigan on Jan. 3.

Isiah Thomas, former Detroit Pistons star and now head coach at Florida International, brings the Golden Panthers to Johnson Coliseum in Huntsville on Dec. 22. The Ragin’ Cajuns of Louisiana-Lafayette visit Johnson Coliseum on Nov. 30.

Alive and kicking: Bearkats still in hunt at SLC baseball tourney
With the possibility of going home early from the Southland Conference Tournament and a chance of their season coming to an abrupt end, the Bearkats needed some quality starting pitching and production from their bats in the worst way.
Like he has done all year long, Sam Houston senior Justin Jackson delivered a lights-out performance on the mound and the offense made the kind of impact the Bearkats have been looking for Thursday morning.
Both elements came together at the exact right time as the Kats stayed alive in the tourney with a 7-1 victory over McNeese State in an elimination game at Bobcat Ballpark.

Bad day for Bearkats
The Bearkats’ road to the NCAA tournament just got a little bit tougher.
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi broke out for four runs before top-seeded Sam Houston even stepped to the plate Wednesday afternoon, but the Kats couldn’t find a way to counter that first punch.
Sam Houston connected for eight hits, but could not get enough of those in a row to make a dent in the deficit and are now one loss away from being eliminated from the Southland Conference tournament following a 9-2 loss at the hands of the eighth-seeded Islanders on Wednesday afternoon at the Bobcat Baseball Ballpark.

Tough night for Kats against Rice
The Bearkats had a golden opportunity to make a lasting impression for a potential at-large bid in the NCAA tournament with fifth-ranked Rice coming to town. Sam Houston’s bats couldn’t get going early enough or be able to link enough hits together against the Owls pitching staff and succumbed to a 5-0 loss in the final game of the season at Don Sanders Stadium on Tuesday night.

BEARKATS BASEBALL — Sam Houston wasn't going to be denied regular-season title
With four conference games left to play, all that kept Sam Houston from a Southland Conference regular season championship was just one win. Whether it was at Central Arkansas later in the week or in the Kats’ conference home finale on Sunday, just one victory would hand Sam Houston it’s first regular season conference title in 23 years. Relaxed and ready to pounce, Sam Houston jumped all over Southeastern Louisiana’s pitching staff early and relied on a strong starting pitching performance from senior Michael Oros. The Kats cruised to an 8-3 victory over the second-place Lions and the celebration was on.
