ANALYSIS:
North Dakota St. is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. Carrying a record of 23-10, they are currently rated #162 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of nine) in the Summit League (average ranking 213.2).

Allowing about 100 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #157 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. North Dakota St. does a fairly satisfactory job to deny opponents chances to score off of the offensive glass. They have a rating of 13.58 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 59th in the country). North Dakota St. also makes a point to avoid fouls and prevent opponents from getting to the free throw line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 25.50 vs. AO, they are currently rated 63rd in the country in that category. If North Dakota St. does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's unwillingness to take risks in order to score fast points off of the opposition's turnovers. The squad only has a rating of 8.52 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 32nd-worst in the college game.

If North Dakota St. does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's care for the ball.
