Sam Houston State has won 12 straight games against conference opponents dating back to 2015. The Bearkats went undefeated in Southland Conference action last year, winning every game by double digits in the process.
They will open their conference slate this year with a tricky test in the Nicholls State Colonels. Nicholls State started the season strong with a win against McNeese State and was tied with Texas A&M in the fourth quarter of their tilt just a few weeks ago.
