Hopes are high in Beaumont, Texas, that second-year Head Coach Steve Roccaforte will lead his Cardinals to the SLC title. When you start your roster with Sanders and Nwevo you are halfway toward building the kind of team that can rebound and compete in the Southland. Add to that a drastically improved backcourt and expectations are high.

With five returning starters, led by top scorer James Davis, Lamar should be much improved and in the hunt. Lamar will move into the top tier of the Southland on their way to 18 wins.
