ANALYSIS:
If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, Cent. Michigan likely fits the bill. Ranked 331st overall (out of 358) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 7-23. Of the 12 schools in the MAC (average ranking 229.2), they're currently ranked as our #11 team in the conference.

Cent. Michigan will certainly not be one of the stingier defenses opponents will encounter. Allowing more than 109 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked down at #327 in defensive efficiency. Cent. Michigan commits too many fouls, which leads to plentiful free throw attempts for the opposition. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 28.52 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #328 in the country in that category. Cent. Michigan has also done a pretty poor job this season to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. The team is ranked 323rd in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 63.2% of their attempts from close-up.

Cent. Michigan doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 92 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #312 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Cent. Michigan won't provide opponents much of a scare with their shooting percentage from the inside. The team is ranked 327th in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 52.9% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. Moreover, they find themselves in the bottom-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage, converting just 40.4% of their total attempts vs. AO. Cent. Michigan is also one of the more deficient teams in the nation as it pertains to scoring off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 3.4% of all second-chance opportunities (317th nationally).

Cent. Michigan has been playing much better basketball as of late and is presently ranked 15th in positive momentum because of it.
