Lamar opened the season with a record-setting 124-point win and now takes that momentum to Abilene to face former Southland Conference rival Abilene Christian. The matchup is nonconference, and both teams are looking to rebound from disappointing seasons.

By the Numbers
  • Lamar scored 124 points in its opener, tying for the 13th-highest total in program history.
  • The Cardinals outrebounded Schreiner 64-24; six Lamar players scored in double figures.
  • Quante Berry led Lamar with 22 points; Filip Radakovic and M.J. Wardlow each recorded a double-double.
  • Lamar trails the all-time series 14-23 and has lost 12 straight to ACU.
Yes, But

Lamar’s explosive opener came against Schreiner, while ACU is coming off a 94-59 loss at Colorado. The Cardinals also face a difficult history against the Wildcats, especially in Abilene, where Lamar has won only five times in 18 meetings.

State of Play
  • Lamar is 1-0; ACU is 0-1.
  • The teams meet Saturday, Nov. 7, at 1 p.m. at Moody Coliseum in Abilene.
  • The game will stream on ESPN+.
What’s Next

Lamar will try to carry its scoring and rebounding strength into its first road game and end its losing streak against ACU. The Wildcats will look to respond after their season-opening blowout loss.

Bottom Line

Lamar has an early chance to turn a dominant opener into a meaningful road win—but its long-running struggles against ACU make this a sharper test than the first game suggests.
