ANALYSIS:
If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, Delaware State likely fits the bill. Their record this season is 10-22, and the club is ranked 336th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #8 team (out of 13) in the MEAC (average ranking 319.3). With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.306 (which ranks 335th nationally), Delaware State has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.

Delaware State also struggles to draw fouls and earn opportunities at the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 22.56 vs. AO, they are 326th in the overall rankings for that category.
