StatSheet is now projecting Lamar will go to the CIT. The Cardinals are sitting at #105 in the StatSheet StatRank with a 16-8 overall record and a 7-3 record in the Southland.
During the last four games, Lamar looked strong with wins against Northwestern State, Texas-San Antonio, Southeastern Louisiana, and Nicholls State.
Lamar has little experience against top competition, with an 0-4 record against the RPI Top 100 that includes an 0-3 record against the RPI Top 50 and AP Top 25. While the Cardinals have no quality wins, they're weighed down by four bad losses including RPI #180 Northwestern State, RPI #121 Texas-Arlington, RPI #205 McNeese State, and RPI #114 TCU.
