ANALYSIS:
Alcorn State presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. Carrying a record of 6-13, they are currently rated #347 overall (out of 357) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the SWAC (average ranking 326.5), they're currently ranked as our #7 team in the conference.

Alcorn State has one of the most inept defenses in the NCAA. Allowing about 112 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they're ranked way down at #351 in defensive efficiency. Alcorn State fouls far too much and sends the opposition to the line way too often. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 36.08 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #356 in the country in that category. Alcorn State also allows the opposition far too many easy shots from the floor and ranks in the bottom-25 in three of our four major defensive field goal shooting categories. They are exceptionally deficient defending inside the three-point line, allowing AO to make good on 47.5% of their mid-range jumpers (fifth from the bottom in the nation), 67.7% of their near-proximity chances (sixth from the bottom), and 49.8% of their total shots from the field (fourth from the bottom). If Alcorn 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 75.57 vs. AO, which ranks sixth-best in college basketball.

Alcorn State doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 89 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #331 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Alcorn State 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 15.04, which ranks tenth from the bottom in D1. Alcorn 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 29.6% of their three-pointers (337th in the nation), 52.5% of their near-proximity attempts (335th), and 39.7% of their total shots from the field (330th) vs. AO.
