The team also got some help courtesy of Antavion Collum, who scored 14 points along with five assists and five rebounds.

Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored Lamar last Saturday, but the final result did not. They took a 75-61 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Islanders. The result shouldn't come as a shock considering that's the fewest points Lamar has scored all season.

The Cowboys pushed their record up to 24-3 with that victory, which was their 15th straight at home dating back to last season. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 84.3 points per game.

Fans should be in for an exciting game on Monday as McNeese State and the Cardinals are among the highest scoring teams in the league right now.

However, it's not like Lamar struggles in that department as they've been averaging 79.8 points per game. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
