ANALYSIS:
If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, Lamar likely fits the bill. They have a record of 10-18 and are ranked 320th overall (out of 357) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 13 schools in the Southland (average ranking 267.5), they're currently ranked as our #8 team in the conference.

Offense is not the strong suit when it comes to Lamar. The team is ranked 324th in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 90 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Lamar needs improvement when it comes to draining the mid-range shot. The team is ranked 320th in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 33.4% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO.

Lamar doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 104 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #275 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Lamar does an extremely poor job to deny the opposition behind the arc. They rank 345th nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 38.4% of their attempts from afar. Lamar also gives up too many chances to easily score off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 6.2% of all second-chance opportunities (309th nationally).

Lamar has been playing much better basketball as of late and is presently ranked sixth in positive momentum because of it.
