ANALYSIS:
Not one of the better ball-clubs in college basketball, UMass Lowell should be a fairly easy win for most capable opponents. Carrying a record of 12-17, they are currently rated #311 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #6 team (out of nine) in the America East (average ranking 240.0).

UMass Lowell is not one of the most productive teams on offense. Scoring fewer than 91 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are rated at #322 in offensive efficiency. UMass Lowell will have a really tough time winning games when taking into consideration their shooting percentage near the basket. The team is ranked 341st in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 49.7% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. UMass Lowell also poses no threat whatsoever to grab rebounds off their own misses. Against AO, the ball-club has a rating of 10.98 in potential points scored off of second chances (338th nationally), and they convert just 5.1% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked 313th) as well. UMass Lowell lastly happens to be one of the very worst in the game when it comes to maximizing the number of shot attempts they get off from the floor. The team is nationally ranked 327th in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 77.41 vs. AO.

Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, UMass Lowell still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 105 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #242 in the nation in defensive efficiency. UMass Lowell is one of the very worst teams in the game when it comes to preventing opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 9.2% of all second-chance opportunities (eighth from the bottom nationally). UMass Lowell also fares terribly when attempting to stop opponents from converting from the inside. The team is ranked 337th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 65.9% of their attempts from close-up. And with such little resistance, AO will merrily cut, slash, and drive right to the hoop as often as possible. Of AO's total field goals, a big portion of them (39.0%) will be from short-distance.
