ANALYSIS:
They're far from the worst of the worst, but Nicholls should not be a terribly frightening opponent for most clubs. They are ranked #253 (out of 363) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 16-15. Of the 10 schools in the Southland (average ranking 294.1), they're currently ranked as our #3 team in the conference.

Nicholls is not one of the better offensive teams you will find. They are rated #285 in efficiency on that end of the court and only score about 98 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Nicholls has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 64.8% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #343 overall in free throw percentage. Nicholls also struggles to draw fouls and earn opportunities at the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 21.66 vs. AO, they are 335th in the overall rankings for that category.

Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, Nicholls still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 105 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #220 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Nicholls fouls far too much and sends the opposition to the line way too often. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 33.75 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #362 in the country in that category. If Nicholls does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their ability to limit the number of shot attempts by the opposition. The team has a defensive field goal attempt rate of 76.44 vs. AO, which ranks fourth-best in college basketball.

Nicholls has been playing some of their worst basketball of the season as of late, and they're presently ranked 339th in positive momentum because of it.
