† 2021 Southland Tournament winner |
The 2020–21 Lamar Cardinals basketball team represented Lamar University during the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Cardinals were led by seventh-year head coach Tic Price and played their home games at the Montagne Center in Beaumont, Texas. This season was the Cardinals' last as members of the Southland Conference; Lamar is one of four schools, all from Texas, that will leave the Southland in July 2021 to join the Western Athletic Conference.[1]
Previous season[]
The Cardinals finished the 2019–20 season 17–15, 10–10 in Southland play to finish in a three-way tie for sixth place. They defeated McNeese State in the first round of the Southland Tournament and were set to face Nicholls in the second round before the tournament was cancelled amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
