ANALYSIS: Lamar presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. They are ranked #323 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 11-19. They are also ranked by this site as the #8 team (out of 13) in the Southland (average ranking 283.8). With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.271 (which ranks third from the bottom in the nation), Lamar has faced some of the easiest opponents in all of college basketball.
Lamar does not provide much of a challenge on defense. They are ranked at #323 in efficiency on that end of the court and give up about 111 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Lamar fouls far too much and sends the opposition to the line way too often. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 34.42 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #332 in the country in that category. Lamar has also done a lackluster job this year when defending the mid-range shot. The squad is ranked 325th nationally in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on 40.3% of their attempts from those in-between spots on the floor. If Lamar does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their willingness to take risks in order to score fast points off of steals. The team has a solid rating of 14.34 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 18th-best in college basketball.
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 #311 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 30.4% of their three-pointers (327th in the nation), 52.1% of their near-proximity attempts (327th), and 39.5% of their total shots from the field (319th) vs. AO. Lamar is also one of the more deficient teams in the nation as it pertains to scoring off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 5.3% of all second-chance opportunities (302nd nationally).
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
When facing teams that convert well from the charity stripe, Lamar often performs worse than normal. Lamar never performs above average when facing teams that have an adjusted free throw percentage vs. AO greater than 72.74%. In their other contests, Lamar performs better than the norm 56% of the time.
Lamar does worse vs. clubs that allow opponents to shoot well from the field. When playing squads that have a defensive field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 47.43%, Lamar performs above average 10% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 56% of the time.
Lamar performs worse against squads that tend to capitalize off breakaway opportunities. When facing teams that have a potential point rate off steals vs. AO greater than 9.67, Lamar is more efficient than normal 15% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 62% of the time.
