Projection: need to automatically qualify

Lamar's season has been a bumpy ride, with a mix of tough losses against high-ranked teams like Texas A&M and Texas Tech, which exposed significant weaknesses on both ends of the floor. Their offense has struggled, evidenced by a lack of scoring against teams like Alabama State and Akron, who are not top-tier opponents. While they secured wins against weaker teams such as Southern Miss and Louisiana, these victories do little to bolster their resume given the overall inconsistency. Upcoming games against Southland rivals will be crucial; wins against teams like Incarnate Word and Northwestern LA are necessary, not just for confidence but to build a more compelling case for an automatic bid. Without a significant turnaround, relying on a conference championship seems to be their best path to the NCAA tournament.
