JJWooten Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Sitting at 6-6, Lamar is going to need to win 2 of the next 4 games in order to really have a shot at the tournament. Every year, all the .500 teams get into the tournament, and usually 1 sub-.500 team gets in.The problem with that? Lamar faces the 4 HARDEST teams to beat in the conference right now,@SFAvs. SHSUvs. Texas State@ McNeeseCombined record of the next 4 opponents: 30-18 in the SLC. McNeese is undefeated at home so far SLC play. TSU, SHSU, & SFA are 1, 2, & 3 in the West. SFA is 4-2 at home as well.It'll be tough, but if Lamar can get 2 wins, they should be in the tournament, if they only get 1, they'll need some help.I think you can beat TSU, who's only 2-4 on the road, and BMT is a tough place to play. SHSU is the other possibility, because we're only 3-3 on the road. However, Lamar has always had some trouble beating Sam, even at home.
coachacola Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Here's what Pomeroy is predicting for the last four games:70-62 loss to SFA81-79 win over SHSU87-82 win over Texas State79-74 loss to McNeese State
geezer Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 I think Pomeroy is probably pretty close, however I think Lamar will win in Lake Chuck. They may will drop one of the other win predictions.

badndn Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 I predict a route by SFA.SFA allways plays the best defense in the conference. They will shut us down and we will struggle with their bigs Scott and Glenn. We have gotten much better at defending the three especially with Minor getting alot of PT. Problem is SFA shoots the least amount of threes in the conference by far. They score inside and do it well which has been a problem for us in the past. Could be the same problem we have when we face SHSU also with Clavelle. However I can see us defeating TS due to our improved perimiter defense, which could make for a do or die re-match with MSU in LC!
bigred360 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Agree, I don't see us winning at SFA for all the reasons you listed.
LamarTech Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Is it that Lamar has always had problems beating Sam?...or Bob Marlin. I think the latter. And now with him gone, we'll see...
LamarFanatic Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 I hope we can pull this out tonight not gonna be easy two totally different styles of play if lamar gets there average of 8 threes a game I say we get the win. I predict Lamar 64 SFA 59.
pngtiger72 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Obviously would be a good win. Hope they can keep it going. Lam- 76- SFA-74.
