Haslametrics has them ranked 174th overall (out of 358) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 20-12. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 12) in the Horizon League (average ranking 250.7).
If there is a strength for N. Kentucky this year, it's probably on the defensive end of the court. The team is rated 172nd in defensive efficiency, allowing fewer than 101 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. N. Kentucky does a pretty solid job providing themselves chances to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked 46th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 13.89.
N. Kentucky is not quite as good on the offensive end of the floor. The team is ranked 204th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 99 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. N. Kentucky would not consider converting field goal attempts to be a strength. The team is rated #301 in the country in field goal percentage, making good on a meager 40.9% of their attempts vs. AO. If N. Kentucky does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to successfully get off shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of 86.55 vs. AO, which ranks #49 in college basketball.
N. Kentucky has been playing some of its most efficient basketball of the season recently and is presently ranked third in positive momentum.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
