LAKE CHARLES – Two games remain in the regular basketball season for the McNeese Cowboys, and with the Pokes trailing by two games for the final spot in the postseason Southland Conference Tournament, both are a must-win, beginning Wednesday night at 6:30 when they host Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at the H&HP Complex in the final home game of the season.
 
Prior to the game, McNeese will recognize its four seniors – Jarren Greenwood, James Harvey, AJ Brown and Trey Touchet.
 
The Cowboys will enter the game with a 9-20 overall record and 5-11 in league play while Corpus Christi will carry a 12-17 record on the season and 7-9 in conference play, two games ahead of the Cowboys in the standings.
 
Five teams have locked up a spot in the eight-team tournament with seven others vying for the final three spots. AMCC, Stephen F. Austin and HBU are all tied at 7-9 for the 6-7-8 spot but Central Arkansas and Northwestern State are just a game behind with 6-10 records followed by McNeese and Nicholls at 5-11.
 
This will be the first meeting between the Cowboys and Islanders on the season. Corpus has won eight straight games in the series with the last Cowboys' win coming on Jan. 30, 2013.
 
McNeese will close out the regular season on Saturday at Lamar beginning at 4:30.
