ANALYSIS:
Lamar is a poor basketball team, arguably one of the very worst in all of college hoops. They have a record of 9-22 and are ranked seventh from the bottom overall (out of 363) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 10 schools in the Southland (average ranking 294.1), they're currently ranked as the worst team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.245 (which ranks 353rd nationally), Lamar has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.

Defense is the farthest thing from a strength for Lamar this year. The team ranks tenth from the bottom in defensive efficiency, allowing more than 113 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Lamar fares terribly when attempting to stop opponents from converting from the inside. The team is ranked 352nd in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 65.4% of their attempts from close-up. Lamar also gives up too many chances to easily score off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 6.9% of all second-chance opportunities (337th nationally).

Lamar doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 93 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #337 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Lamar struggles to drain shots consistently from most spots on the floor, ranking in the bottom-50 in three of the four primary field goal shooting categories. They only convert 29.7% of their three-pointers (351st in the nation), 51.8% of their near-proximity attempts (346th), and 40.3% of their total shots from the field (332nd) vs. AO. Lamar also has some difficulty protecting the ball efficiently when in possession, which leads to some quick and easy baskets for the opposition. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 12.68, which ranks 322nd in D1. If Lamar does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's knack for obtaining second-chance opportunities off of their frequent misses. The squad has a rating of 16.96 in potential points off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 38th in all of college hoops.
