ANALYSIS:
As one of the worst teams in NCAA basketball, Florida A&M should be a pushover for the average-to-good squads in Division I. They are ranked #350 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 2-27. Of the 13 schools in the MEAC (average ranking 284.1), they're currently ranked as the worst team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.317 (which ranks seventh from the bottom in the nation), Florida A&M has faced some of the easiest opponents in all of college basketball.

Florida A&M has a very tough time coming by points on offense. Scoring about 80 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are woefully ranked #350 in offensive efficiency. Florida A&M is downright awful shooting the basketball and can't hit from anywhere, shamefully ranking in the bottom-25 in each of the four major field goal shooting categories. They make just 29.2% of their three-pointers (ranking 335th nationally), 29.8% of their mid-range attempts (339th), 51.5% of their near-proximity chances (327th), and 36.2% of their total shots from the field (third from the bottom) vs. AO. Florida A&M also does a terrible job to take advantage of scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 4.2% of all second-chance opportunities (seventh from the bottom nationally), and with a rating of 11.60, they're 329th in potential points scored off of the offensive boards as well.

Sadly, Florida A&M is almost as horrific on the defensive end of the floor as they are on the offensive end of it. Allowing roughly 114 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #345 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Florida A&M allows the opposition far too many easy shots from the floor and ranks in the bottom-25 in three of our four major defensive field goal shooting categories. They are exceptionally deficient defending inside the three-point line, allowing AO to make good on 40.9% of their mid-range jumpers (336th in the nation), 66.6% of their near-proximity chances (341st), and 47.8% of their total shots from the field (332nd). Florida A&M also allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked 333rd in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 86.38 vs. AO.

Florida A&M has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #28 ranking in positive momentum. Florida A&M is also one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 41st in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm.
