The fight for the last four spots...

Here are the remaining schedules for teams fighting for the final couple spots in the Southland Conference tournament (in order of standing right now)...

Lamar — @UTSA, @TAMUCC, Nicholls State

Combined record: 25-14

McNeese State — @Nicholls State, SELA, @UCA

Combined record: 15-24

Texas State — Northwestern State, UTSA, @SHSU

Combined record: 20-19

Just by looking at it, McNeese has the easiest road into the tournament, playing teams with a combined record of 15-24, yet, two of its games are on the road. Lamar has the toughest schedule and could lose two out of its last three games. 

So, it puts the pressure on Texas State. The Bobcats should be able to handle Northwestern State at home, but then the true test begins. Texas State will play UTSA and then travel to Huntsville.

The Bobcats just might have another meaningful game against Sam Houston State with its playoff life on the line. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
