ANALYSIS:
Longwood is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. Haslametrics has them ranked 181st overall (out of 362) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 21-14. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of nine) in the Big South (average ranking 210.6).

If there is a strength for Longwood this year, it's probably on the defensive end of the court. The team is rated 150th in defensive efficiency, allowing fewer than 105 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Longwood does a super job to deny opponents offensive rebounds and second chances. They have a rating of 10.88 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 20th in the country). Longwood also does a really good job to prevent opponents from getting off shots from the field. The club is ranked 45th in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 82.21 vs. AO. If Longwood does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's difficulties stopping opponents from converting from the inside. AO will convert 66.2% of their near-proximity field goal attempts, and the team ranks worst in that category as a result.

Longwood doesn't perform as well offensively as they do defensively. The team is ranked 208th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 103 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Longwood isn't performing well from the free throw line this season. Converting just 68.3% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #308 overall in free throw percentage. If Longwood does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's knack for obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 16.59 in potential points off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 47th in all of college hoops.
