ANALYSIS: Not one of the better ball-clubs in college basketball, Jackson State should be a fairly easy win for most capable opponents. They are ranked #298 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 10-21. Of the 10 schools in the SWAC (average ranking 317.6), they're currently ranked as our #3 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.306 (which ranks third from the bottom nationally), Jackson State has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.
Offense comes as a real struggle to Jackson State this year. The team is rated 327th in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 90 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Jackson State is a lousy shooting team, incapable of converting efficiently from anyplace on the floor and ranking in the bottom-50 in each of our four most noteworthy field goal shooting categories. They make just 26.7% of their three-pointers (ranking last nationally), 30.9% of their mid-range attempts (326th), 52.2% of their near-proximity chances (318th), and 37.2% of their total shots from the field (eighth from the bottom) vs. AO. If Jackson State does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to successfully get off shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of 86.10 vs. AO, which ranks #24 in college basketball.
Even though the team ranks considerably higher in defensive efficiency, Jackson State isn't a powerhouse on that end of the floor either. Allowing roughly 103 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #213 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Jackson State fouls far too much and sends the opposition to the line way too often. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 38.46 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #349 in the country in that category. If Jackson 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 73.44 vs. AO, which ranks fifth-best in college basketball.
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.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
Jackson State performs worse against squads that favor a faster tempo. When facing teams that have a pace vs. AO greater than 68.52, Jackson State is more efficient than normal 11% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 50% of the time.
