ANALYSIS:
Regardless of what the win percentage says, Norfolk State isn't a very good team this year. Their record this season is 24-11, and the club is ranked 247th overall (out of 362) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the best team (out of eight) in the MEAC (average ranking 308.3). With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.262 (which ranks 345th nationally), Norfolk State has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.

Norfolk State does not have a terribly exceptional defense this year. Rated at #253 in defensive efficiency, they allow around 109 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Norfolk State fouls far too much and sends the opposition to the line way too often. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 32.08 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #343 in the country in that category. If Norfolk State 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 81.80 vs. AO, which ranks 35th-best in college basketball.

Norfolk State doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 102 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #233 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Norfolk State won't provide opponents much of a scare with their shooting percentage from the inside. The team is ranked 317th in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 53.0% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. If Norfolk State does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to get to the free throw line. The squad has a free throw attempt rate of 29.80 vs. AO, which ranks 47th in the country.
