The Lady Cardinals basketball team represents Lamar University in women's basketball NCAA Division I competition. The team plays in the 10,080 seat Montagne Center. The Lady Cardinals are currently coached by Robin Harmony and compete in the Southland Conference.
In the 1991 NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Tournament Lamar, under coach Al Barbre, made a run as a tenth seed in the Austin regional. The 1991 Lady Cardinals defeated Texas, LSU and Arkansas before being defeated by Virginia in the Elite Eight. Virginia went on to lose in the National championship game by 3 points.
Larry Tidwell coached the women's basketball team from 2007 through the end of the 2011-2012 season. Coach Tidwell turned the team around from a struggling program to a perennial power in the Southland Conference. In 2010 the team won the regular season and conference tournament to advance to the 2010 NCAA Tournament. The Lady Cardinals made their first ever appearance in the preseason WNIT in the fall of 2010. In the 2011 season, coach Tidwell's Lady Cardinals received their first top 100 RPI ranking (RPI #80) since the figures were made public in the 2005 season. The 2010-2011 squad finished with a record of 25-8 and made an appearance in the 2011 post season WNIT.
Coach Tidwell resigned his position in 2013 to take a position at University of Texas-Pan American as head women's basketball coach.
Robin Harmony was named head coach on April 30, 2013. Her first Lady Cardinal team shared the Southland Conference regular season title. The Lady Cardinals also participated in their second WNIT and fourth post season tournament appearance in five seasons.
