ANALYSIS:
As an average to slightly above-average foe, E. Michigan should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. They have a record of 18-15 and are ranked 157th overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 12 schools in the MAC (average ranking 168.1), they're currently ranked as our #6 team in the conference.

If there is a strength for E. Michigan this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 145th in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 102 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. E. Michigan does an outstanding job finishing any scoring chances they obtain from offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 9.2% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 20th nationally), and with a rating of 18.10, they're 38th in potential points scored off of the offensive glass as well. E. Michigan also does a really good job to acquire opportunities from the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 32.63 vs. AO, they are ranked 35th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. In addition, the team is in the top-50 in free throw shooting, converting a solid 74.2% of their attempts.

E. Michigan is not quite as good on the defensive end of the floor. The team is ranked 189th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 104 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. E. Michigan gives up far too many offensive rebounds and second chances to their opponents. The club has a rating of 19.69 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (fifth from the bottom nationally). E. Michigan also commits too many fouls, which leads to plentiful free throw attempts for the opposition. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 32.78 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #308 in the country in that category. If E. Michigan does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their willingness to take risks in order to score fast points off of steals. The team has a solid rating of 14.31 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 19th-best in college basketball.

On the road, E. Michigan performs noticeably worse than they do at home. The team is currently ranked 340th in the country in the away-from-home metric we track.
