ANALYSIS:
Morgan State presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. Carrying a record of 13-15, they are currently rated #320 overall (out of 358) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the eight schools in the MEAC (average ranking 289.3), they're currently ranked as our #7 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.269 (which ranks 343rd nationally), Morgan State has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.

Morgan State has a very tough time coming by points on offense. Scoring about 90 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are woefully ranked #341 in offensive efficiency. Morgan State is one of the least accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They are ranked ninth from the bottom in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 28.8% of their attempts from long vs. AO. Morgan State will also have a really tough time winning games when taking into consideration their shooting percentage near the basket. The team is ranked 339th in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 51.8% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO.

Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, Morgan State 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 #263 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Morgan State fouls far too much and sends the opposition to the line way too often. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 29.82 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #344 in the country in that category. Morgan State has also done a pretty poor job this season to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. The team is ranked 330th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 63.6% 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 (38.2%) will be from short-distance. If Morgan 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 77.35 vs. AO, which ranks ninth-best in college basketball.

Morgan State has been playing much better basketball as of late and is presently ranked eighth in positive momentum because of it.
