ISO Spotlight: Could Texas A&M-Corpus Christi win the Southland?

Technically, Texas A&M Corpus has yet to play a conference game, as some schedule quirks brought on by COVID have led to the team scheduling a few extra games against fellow Southland teams UIW and HBU. But the Islanders have won their three games against those Southland foes, with an actual Southland game against UIW on tap for Saturday to officially launch the conference season for TAMUCC.

So far, the Islanders sit 8-6 this season. Last year, this team finished 6-13 overall and 4-7 in conference play. After winning the conference in the 2019-20 season with a senior-laden team, the Islanders were expected to be rebuilding for at least a couple of seasons. But the departure of the Texas Four schools to the WAC and the shaky ground left behind in the Southland means that the Islanders could be ready to shock everyone and win the conference again.
