ANALYSIS:
Alabama State is not one of the better teams in Division I this year. They are ranked #342 (out of 353) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 8-24. Of the 10 schools in the SWAC (average ranking 313.6), they're currently ranked as our #7 team in the conference.

Alabama State has a very tough time coming by points on offense. Scoring about 85 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are woefully ranked #347 in offensive efficiency. Alabama State has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 62.2% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #348 overall in free throw percentage. Alabama State also struggles to drain shots consistently from most spots on the floor, ranking in the bottom-50 in three of the four primary field goal shooting categories. They only convert 29.8% of their three-pointers (326th in the nation), 50.9% of their near-proximity attempts (tenth from the bottom), and 38.1% of their total shots from the field (seventh from the bottom) vs. AO.

Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, Alabama State still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 104 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #267 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Alabama State fares terribly when attempting to stop opponents from converting from the inside. The team is ranked 335th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 65.8% of their attempts from close-up. Alabama State also allows opponents' field goal percentages to get far too high. The ball-club ranks #324 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 47.2% of their total attempts from the floor. If Alabama State does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their ability to limit the number of shot attempts by the opposition. The team has a defensive field goal attempt rate of 78.63 vs. AO, which ranks 50th-best in college basketball.
