ANALYSIS:
If you see Nicholls on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. They have a record of 20-14 and are ranked 262nd overall (out of 362) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of 10) in the Southland (average ranking 273.2).

Offensively, Nicholls finds itself in the lower half of the rankings. The team is rated 243rd in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 102 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. 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 3.9% of all second-chance opportunities (321st nationally). Nicholls also won't provide opponents much of a scare with their shooting percentage from the inside. The team is ranked 318th in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 52.9% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO.

Nicholls doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 108 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #232 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Nicholls has done a pretty poor job this season to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. The team is ranked 317th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 62.0% of their attempts from close-up.

Nicholls has been playing much better basketball as of late and is presently ranked ninth in positive momentum because of it.
