ANALYSIS: Bowling Green is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. Their record this season is 14-12, and the club is ranked 165th overall (out of 357) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #6 team (out of 12) in the MAC (average ranking 193.1).
Based on the data, Bowling Green will likely find more success on offense than on defense. Scoring about 102 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #124 slot in the rankings for offensive efficiency. Bowling Green is one of the very best when it comes to maximizing field goal opportunities. The team is ranked 11th in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 87.88 vs. AO. Conversely, the squad isn't all that good at draining those shots, converting about 40.8% of their total attempts vs. AO. Bowling Green also does an adequate job of creating chances for themselves off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the squad has a rating of 15.50 in potential points scored off of second chances (ranked 53rd in the NCAA).
The defense for Bowling Green, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 230th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 103 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Bowling Green hasn't done terribly well defending the mid-range jumper. The squad is ranked 285th nationally in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on 41.7% of their attempts from those in-between spots on the floor.
Bowling Green has been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 311th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most. When playing on the road, Bowling Green has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked first in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
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.
