Cardinals’ Long Finishes Short Season: Lamar senior point guard Jeremy Long had decided to leave the team, and coach Billy Tubbs said the decision represented a mutual agreement. Long started all three games for Lamar in the team’s trip to Alaska for the Top of the World Classic. He scored a career-high 22 points in the team’s opener against Southern Mississippi, but he failed to score against Kennesaw State or Montana State. Without Long, Tubbs must tab a new starting point guard.
