==History==
The men's team was formed in 1916, and played the 1916-17 season under the first head coach John Garrity and went 3-3. The university joined the Lone Star conference in 1931 and since that time the team has won a grand total of 22 conference titles as well as one national title. The team has been to the national playoffs numerous times but since joining the NCAA they have not made it past the elite eight in the national tournament. The team is currently coached by Sam Walker who has coached the team since 2000 and has a combined record of 249-180, and 103-93 in conference games, he has more wins than any other basketball coach in the program's history. The team was featured as an opponent of Texas Western University's (now The University of Texas at El Paso) historic color barrier breaking team in the Walt Disney film ''Glory Road'' during the 1966 season. The game was shown as being played in Commerce as the arena it was shot in had very close resemblance to the University Fieldhouse, where the Lions play to this day. The team saw a lot of success under head coach Bob Rodgers, who has the highest winning percentage in the program's history to this day .769, he led them to the playoffs in 3 out of his 5 seasons and in the 1954-55 season he led the team to the national championship where they defeated Southeastern Oklahoma by a score of 71-54 for their first (and only) national title in addition to this he also led the team to 4 conference titles. The program also had lots of success throughout the 1970s under head coach Jim Grudger who led the team to three conference titles and took the team to the national tournament four times and came really close to winning a national title in 1978 when he took the team to the NAIA semi-finals and was defeated by Quincy by a score of 87-73.
