BEAUMONT, Texas – Lamar University and Stephen F. Austin have agreed to adjust their schedules for Saturday's men's and women's basketball doubleheader ahead of expected freezing temperatures. The women's game will now tip off at 1 p.m. with the men's game set for a 3 p.m. start from the Neches Federal Credit Union Arena at the Montagne Center.
