ANALYSIS:
If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, UMass Lowell likely fits the bill. They are ranked #291 (out of 353) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 13-19. They are also ranked by this site as the #7 team (out of nine) in the America East (average ranking 252.4).

UMass Lowell does not provide much of a challenge on defense. They are ranked at #328 in efficiency on that end of the court and give up about 109 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. UMass Lowell is one of the very worst teams in the country in terms of overall defensive field goal percentage. The ball-club ranks #341 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 48.3% of their total attempts from the floor. UMass Lowell is also 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 7.2% of all second-chance opportunities (340th nationally).

Even though the team ranks considerably higher in offensive efficiency, UMass Lowell isn't a powerhouse on that end of the floor either. Scoring roughly 97 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #209 in the nation in offensive efficiency. UMass Lowell 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 343rd in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 76.40 vs. AO.
