Projection: need to automatically qualify
Lamar's current trajectory suggests an uphill battle for NCAA tournament consideration. With a record that features a significant loss to Texas A&M, ranked highly, the team's early struggles against better opponents, like their defeat to Sam Houston State, are concerning. Their offensive and defensive metrics are well below par, and upcoming matchups against mid-tier teams like Northeastern Louisiana and Southern Miss are pivotal. Winning these games is crucial, especially since their success against weaker teams like Houston Christian and New Orleans is more likely, but may not provide the necessary resume boost. To emerge as a contender, Lamar will need to secure victories in these key games and aim for an automatic bid through their conference tournament.
