ANALYSIS: If you see Lamar on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. They have a record of 19-14 and are ranked 228th overall (out of 362) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 10 schools in the Southland (average ranking 276.3), they're currently ranked as our #3 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.250 (which ranks 346th nationally), Lamar has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.
Offensively, Lamar finds itself in the lower half of the rankings. The team is rated 231st in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 103 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Lamar isn't the greatest at protecting the ball on offense and, as a result, opponents tend to score more quick points off of steals than they normally would. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 13.05, which ranks 289th in D1.
Lamar doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 108 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #227 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Lamar hasn't done terribly well defending the mid-range jumper. The squad is ranked 292nd nationally in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on 41.7% of their attempts from those in-between spots on the floor.
Lamar is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 24th in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict. When playing on the road, Lamar performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 336th in our site's away-from-home metric.
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:
Lamar does better vs. clubs that aren't terribly skilled defensively. When playing squads that have a defensive efficiency rating vs. AO greater than 105.82, Lamar performs above average 65% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 18% of the time.
Lamar performs better against squads that prefer the outside shot. When facing teams that have an offensive shooting proximity score vs. AO greater than 1.97, Lamar is more efficient than normal 75% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 32% of the time.
When playing teams that allow more chances at the line, Lamar usually performs better than average. Lamar is more efficient than normal 69% of the time when facing clubs that have a defensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO greater than 28.50. In all other contests, Lamar performs better than average 27% of the time.
