ANALYSIS:
They're far from the worst of the worst, but ECU should not be a terribly frightening opponent for most clubs. Haslametrics has them ranked 180th overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 15-18. They are also ranked by this site as the #9 team (out of 11) in the AAC (average ranking 117.5).

ECU will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 68th in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 97 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. ECU boasts one of the better overall defensive field goal percentages in the country. The team ranks #30 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 40.0% of their total attempts from the floor. ECU has also done a really good job this year to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. They are ranked 32nd in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 52.9% of their attempts from close-up. If ECU does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's propensity to allow too many shot attempts per trip. The squad has a rating of 86.50 in defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 19th-worst in college basketball.

Unfortunately, ECU is not even remotely close to being as good on offense as they are on defense. The team is ranked 297th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 94 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. ECU tends to be very careless with the ball and allows far too many breakaway opportunities off of their own turnovers. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 13.15, which ranks 331st in D1.

ECU has been playing much better basketball as of late and is presently ranked 14th in positive momentum because of it. ECU has also been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 309th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
