ANALYSIS:
Regardless of what the win percentage says, Nicholls isn't a very good team this year. They are ranked #204 (out of 358) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 21-12. Of the eight schools in the Southland (average ranking 291.5), they're currently ranked as the best team in the conference.

Nicholls does not have a terribly exceptional defense this year. Rated at #203 in defensive efficiency, they allow around 102 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Nicholls has some difficulty staying out of foul trouble, leading to an excess of free throw attempts for the opposition. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 26.66 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #282 in the country in that category.

Nicholls doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 99 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #194 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Nicholls does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 17.91 vs. AO, they are last in the overall rankings for that category. Nicholls also has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 63.2% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #353 overall in free throw percentage. If Nicholls does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to successfully get off shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of 89.32 vs. AO, which ranks #10 in college basketball.
