ANALYSIS:
If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, ECU likely fits the bill. They have a record of 10-20 and are ranked 326th overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 12 schools in the AAC (average ranking 128.8), they're currently ranked as the worst team in the conference.

Offense comes as a real struggle to ECU this year. The team is rated 329th in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 92 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. ECU is one of the least accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They are ranked tenth from the bottom in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 30.2% of their attempts from long vs. AO.

Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, ECU still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 108 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #275 in the nation in defensive efficiency. ECU struggles on occasion to deny opponents opportunities to shoot from the floor. The team is ranked 302nd in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 85.13 vs. AO.

ECU has been playing some of their worst basketball of the season as of late, and they're presently ranked third from the bottom in positive momentum because of it. ECU has also been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked 340th overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
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.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
When facing teams that aren't terribly skilled defensively, ECU often performs better than normal. ECU is more efficient than usual 71% of the time when facing teams that have a defensive efficiency rating vs. AO greater than 97.15. In their other contests, ECU performs better than the norm 22% of the time.
ECU does better vs. clubs that allow opponents to shoot well from the field. When playing squads that have a defensive field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 41.71%, ECU performs above average 71% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 22% of the time.
ECU performs worse against squads that find ways to get to the free throw line. When facing teams that have an offensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO greater than 27.13, ECU is more efficient than normal 27% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 74% of the time.
