The Lamar Cardinals, led by guard Alexis Marmolejos' 14.5 points per game, have been on a roll, winning four of their last five games. Their defense has been particularly stout, allowing just 66.4 points per game, which ranks 43rd nationally.

Grade B+: Lamar +1
The Lamar Cardinals, riding a four-game winning streak, have demonstrated a robust defense, allowing just 66.4 points per game, ranking 43rd nationally. Their recent victory over Incarnate Word on January 6, 2025, with a score of 72-58, showcased their defensive strength. On the other hand, Incarnate Word has struggled recently, dropping three of their last four games. Despite playing at home, where they have a 1-3 record in their last four games, Incarnate Word's inconsistent performance raises concerns. Given Lamar's superior defense and recent form, betting on Lamar to cover the +1 spread at -110 odds appears favorable. Both teams report no significant injuries ahead of the matchup. Prediction Grade: B+
