ANALYSIS:
They're far from the worst of the worst, but NC Central should not be a terribly frightening opponent for most clubs. They have a record of 18-13 and are ranked 265th overall (out of 362) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of eight) in the MEAC (average ranking 308.3). With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.236 (which ranks ninth from the bottom nationally), NC Central has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.

NC Central will certainly not be one of the stingier defenses opponents will encounter. Allowing more than 111 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked down at #306 in defensive efficiency. NC Central has done a pretty poor job this season to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. The team is ranked 329th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 62.6% of their attempts from close-up. NC Central also commits too many fouls, which leads to plentiful free throw attempts for the opposition. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 30.36 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #316 in the country in that category.

Though they rate better on offense than they do on defense, NC Central still isn't one of the more capable offensive teams in college hoops. Scoring roughly 103 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #220 in the nation in offensive efficiency. NC Central won't provide opponents much of a scare with their shooting percentage from the inside. The team is ranked 337th in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 51.9% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO.

NC Central has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked fifth from the bottom overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict. On the road, NC Central performs noticeably worse than they do at home. The team is currently ranked 338th in the country in the away-from-home metric we track.
