ANALYSIS:
Nicholls presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. They are ranked #336 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 11-23. Of the 13 schools in the Southland (average ranking 283.7), they're currently ranked as our #11 team in the conference.

Nicholls has one of the most anemic offenses around. They rank 340th in efficiency on that end of the court and score fewer than 88 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Nicholls tends to be very careless with the ball and allows far too many breakaway opportunities off of their own turnovers. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 15.68, which ranks second from the bottom in D1. Nicholls also 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 eighth from the bottom in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 76.12 vs. AO. Nicholls lastly 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 are at their worst when shooting outside the paint, converting just 30.3% of their three-pointers (330th in the nation), 30.2% of their mid-range chances (341st), and 40.1% of their total shots from the field (313th) vs. AO.

Nicholls doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 109 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #293 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Nicholls can be weak on rebounding, giving the opposition too many chances to score off of the offensive glass. The club has a rating of 18.02 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (319th nationally).

Nicholls has been playing much better basketball as of late and is presently ranked ninth in positive momentum because of it. Nicholls has also been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 323rd in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most.
