Lamar @ UTRGV

Current Records: Lamar 2-19; UTRGV 6-15

What to Know

The Lamar Cardinals have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. Lamar and the UTRGV Vaqueros will face off in a WAC battle at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday at UTRGV Fieldhouse. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

It was close but no cigar for the Cardinals as they fell 85-82 to the Abilene Christian Wildcats on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the matchup between UTRGV and the Tarleton State Texans on Saturday was not particularly close, with UTRGV falling 79-64.

Lamar is expected to lose this next one by 5.5. The smart bettors have been the ones to keep their money on Lamar's opponents whenever they hit the road.

Lamar is now 2-19 while the Vaqueros sit at 6-15. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Cardinals are stumbling into the game with the 10th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 62.5 on average. UTRGV has experienced some struggles of their own as they are second worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 78.5 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
