ANALYSIS:
Not one of the better ball-clubs in college basketball, McNeese should be a fairly easy win for most capable opponents. Their record this season is 15-16, and the club is ranked 296th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. Of the 13 schools in the Southland (average ranking 267.4), they're currently ranked as our #7 team in the conference.

McNeese does not provide much of a challenge on defense. They are ranked at #318 in efficiency on that end of the court and give up about 109 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. McNeese can be weak on rebounding, giving the opposition too many chances to score off of the offensive glass. The club has a rating of 17.75 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (313th nationally), and they let AO convert a healthy 8.5% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 312th) as well. McNeese also struggles on occasion to deny opponents opportunities to shoot from the floor. The team is ranked 309th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 85.33 vs. AO.

Though they rate better on offense than they do on defense, McNeese still isn't one of the more capable offensive teams in college hoops. Scoring roughly 96 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #251 in the nation in offensive efficiency. McNeese struggles to drain shots consistently from most spots on the floor, ranking in the bottom-50 in three of the four primary field goal shooting categories. They only convert 30.8% of their three-pointers (320th in the nation), 51.9% of their near-proximity attempts (322nd), and 39.4% of their total shots from the field (311th) vs. AO. McNeese is also not one of the better teams when it comes to sinking foul shots. Converting just 64.5% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #312 overall in free throw percentage. If McNeese 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 89.10 vs. AO, which ranks #3 in college basketball.

McNeese has been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 315th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most. On the road, McNeese performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 46th in our away-from-home metric.
