ANALYSIS:
If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, Morgan State likely fits the bill. Ranked 346th overall (out of 362) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 11-20. They are also ranked by this site as the #6 team (out of eight) in the MEAC (average ranking 308.3).

Morgan State has a very sieve-like defense that gives up points way too easily. The team is ranked 347th in efficiency on that end of the court and gives up more than 114 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Morgan State gives up far too many offensive rebounds and second chances to their opponents. The club has a rating of 18.23 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (last nationally), and they let AO convert a healthy 7.9% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked sixth from the bottom) as well. Morgan State also fouls far too much and sends the opposition to the line way too often. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 32.59 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #346 in the country in that category.

Morgan State doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 95 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #330 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Morgan State is one of the least accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They are ranked 351st in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 29.3% of their attempts from long vs. AO.

Morgan State is one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 36th in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm.
