ANALYSIS:
Not one of the better ball-clubs in college basketball, Nicholls should be a fairly easy win for most capable opponents. Ranked 311th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 14-17. They are also ranked by this site as the #12 team (out of 13) in the Southland (average ranking 265.5).

Nicholls has a very sieve-like defense that gives up points way too easily. The team is ranked 329th in efficiency on that end of the court and gives up more than 112 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Nicholls does an extremely poor job to deny the opposition behind the arc. They rank fourth from the bottom nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 40.8% of their attempts from afar. Nicholls is also one of the very worst teams in the game when it comes to preventing opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 10.2% of all second-chance opportunities (sixth from the bottom nationally), and with a rating of 16.96, they're 319th in potential points surrendered off of the offensive boards as well.

Though they rate better on offense than they do on defense, Nicholls still isn't one of the more capable offensive teams in college hoops. Scoring roughly 97 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #253 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Nicholls is one of the more deficient teams in the nation as it pertains to scoring off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 5.1% of all second-chance opportunities (305th nationally).

Nicholls is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked tenth in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
