ANALYSIS: Little Rock presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. Ranked 298th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 7-25. They are also ranked by this site as the worst team (out of 12) in the Sun Belt (average ranking 181.5).
Little Rock has a very tough time coming by points on offense. Scoring about 91 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are woefully ranked #331 in offensive efficiency. Little Rock has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 61.4% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #349 overall in free throw percentage. Little Rock also needs improvement when it comes to draining the mid-range shot. The team is ranked 323rd in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 32.6% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO.
Even though the team ranks considerably higher in defensive efficiency, Little Rock isn't a powerhouse on that end of the floor either. Allowing roughly 104 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #195 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Little Rock commits too many fouls, which leads to plentiful free throw attempts for the opposition. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 30.59 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #316 in the country in that category. Little Rock also does a pretty inadequate job to provide chances for themselves to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked #313 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 8.19 vs. AO.
Little Rock has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked 329th overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict.
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.
